      What about Greats and Idrese? The good thing about Idrese is that they have an option for a wide last, and that is rare in these shoes. I think Crown Northampton is the only other company to offer this. They also allow a lot of customization. As a wide foot folk, I’m very interested in the Idrese offering. Thanks, I love your channel cause you give us the real look at these shoes

    I'm starting to think Rose Anvil is actually having an impact on the overall shoe market. Before this channel there wasn't really any accessible way for average people to learn about shoes boots and their construction and comparisons between them. It was all mysterious. We were totally at the mercy of the manufactures hype and lies. For years I've been struggling with shoes. I've bought boots and shoes of all different brands (aside from handmade custom stuff cause I didn't even know it existed much less why I would buy such a thing and what to expect) and I've always been dissatified with quality. Seemed no matter how much money I spent or where I bought sneakers or boots or casual shoes they all fell apart and were total garbage. Now I know why. Know I'm ready to order a pair of Nicks boots and happy to shell out the money for them. I understand that all modern sneakers are just junk and the only value in any of them is fashion. These boutique little custom shoe companies are crushing it. They're getting a lot of business which should lead to more companies popping up to take advantage of the new demand. I think this is going to lead to a renaissance in our modern shoes. People are becoming educated and aren't going to be satisfied with the mass produced garbage. I'm excited. I like nice things. And I love nice shoes. Also, soon as my current mass produced garbage Nike's are wore out i'm ordering a pair of these Thursday sneakers.
    Thank you Rose Anvil!!!!! You're providing a legit valuable service to the community and I do hope you're getting rewarded for your work. Great job!

      I agree! I have bought several pairs of boots just because I could purchase with confidence thanks to Rose Anvil. I now own THREE pairs of THURSDAY boots. Two of them were the exact ones cut in half in Rose Anvil videos. The MITUSA series showed us the Thursday Logger, I absolutely love that boot! And the Captain in tobacco with the Stormking outsole. I loved the Captain so much I ended up buying another pair with black (not matte) uppers and the regular outsole. Thursday is by far one of the best priced, best value, high quality boot companies on the market. And I would not know that if it weren't for Rose Anvil.
      P.S. I also bought a pair of REDBACK (easy escapes) because of Rose Anvil. The Redback boots saved my feet from terrible pain caused by Doc Martins (those boots suck don't buy Docs ever) because they have so much foam. Redbacks are a solid work boot but not very stylish. So I will still wear those from time to time if my feet feel like they need a rest or if I have some hard work to do.

      I bought a pair of Doc Martens in 2017, then later stumbled into RA's video on them. I was kinda disappointed at how bad Doc's are. I mean, they're not horrible for the price, and they are comfortable... but they're not durable. They're not a boot that can be resoled.
      Fast forward to a couple months ago, RA video pops up in my suggestions, so I watch a few. Now I have a pair of Iron Rangers, a pair of Thursday Captains, and I got a brand new pair of Helm boots for less than half price, but they're too wide, so I'll have to sell them on. Now I really want a pair of Grant Stone Brass boots, but might go with a Thursday Diplomat with the lug sole.
      I've also watched a lot of cobbler videos. It's cool to see them restore beat up boots and show how they are made. I ended up getting my Iron Rangers resoled because the hard heel makes my not-yet-bad knees a little sore. Had a local guy do it, and they came out super nice.
      All this because Rose Anvil decided it would be cool to cut some boots in half. He's probably raising a LOT of awareness and interest in the market, and that's a great thing!

    I think they are able to keep the cost down by using the same lather in there shoes as they do in there boots . That way they can make even bigger orders and get a bigger discount. Not just the leather but the lace holes and the leather laces. Also making in Mexico can be cheaper but it depends. Also like you mentioned they are more direct to consumers.

    Owner update: got a pair of the black and white in December '20. I am famously hard on sneakers. These have been worn daily for neighborhood walks, yard work, vacations in New Mexico and Virginia, and puttering around the house. The sole has thinned at the ball of my foot, but there have been NO cracks, no separation at the toe creases, no issues in any way. They still look fantastic, even still smell of fine leather. I could not possibly recommend these shoes enough.

    Could you do a review on the white version of the Thursday sneakers? I watched your white sneaker finale and you mentioned there were differences between the white colorway of this shoe, versus the Caocao color you've reviewed. Curious on your thoughts regarding the quality of materials used on the white version (the nappa leather vs horween) and if it's still a good shoe at the $130 price point. Or have they compromised on the materials a lot for the white pair

  • @fit_man_cam1713
    @fit_man_cam1713 9 місяців тому +1

    First off, I really appreciate your videos, all the knowledge you share and how very genuine you are. I started watching a few months ago and am hooked. I've been getting more and more into the minimalist sneaker look and after I saw this and the white sneaker series 2 months ago I ordered these Thursday sneakers. I just want to share a few thoughts about them and the company.
    As far as looks go they are quite interesting when you see them in person. The leather is somewhat varied depending on the panel of the shoe. It varied from a matte, smooth finish to an almost shiny, cracked appearance. It wasn't too drastic but still something I noticed and seemed sort of odd. I wore them for about an hour in the house and you weren't kidding, the leather is THICC lol. They had a very "clompy" feel and were generally stiff. I can appreciate that this kind of leather will last a long time but these definitely don't have that sneaker feel, if that's what you're looking for.
    I also wore them to the mall for about an hour. After getting home I noticed the stitching that connects the upper to the toebox was unraveling, on both sides. Not good. I took pictures and sent them to Thursday and to my surprise they said they would send me a new pair immediately, free of charge!
    Even with the stitching issue I kept wearing them and noticed a few more things. The insoles are quite "slick" feeling and begin squeaking if you have even a slight amount of moisture...and you will as this leather is THICC:) They don't seem to absorb any of the moisture either. Could be a sock quality issue, who knows, but I haven't had this issue with any other shoes. I ended up buying some cork insoles and like them a lot better.
    The shoe also doesn't seem to break in easily as far as the stiffness of the leather goes. Yes, I've only been wearing them for a few months but it still feels like I'm wearing a low-top thick leather boot to be honest.
    Anyways, on to the new pair...they arrived about 2 weeks after my first pair and the first thing I noticed was that the leather was shiny, almost reflective, and had an obvious cracked, almost "scaly" appearance. Not at all like the first pair. I didn't like it and continued to wear the other pair until recently. Unfortunately, the stitching has gotten much worse and now I've noticed that the heel of the outsole has really begun to wear down. I've worn these maybe 15 times total and pretty much only inside at work on polished flooring.
    I've decided to start wearing the new pair, perhaps a good polish and conditioning will dull the sheen a bit.
    Anyways, sorry for the length of this post. I'm honestly very impressed with the company and their customer service. I've actually ordered a pair of the captain boots and may end up getting another pair of sneakers with some more supple leather. We'll see how it goes. Cheers!

    I've owned this exact pair for roughly 2 years now. Wear them about 4-5 days a week. They're insanely comfortable and durable. I've owned two pair of Captains and these sneakers have outlasted both pairs of boots. Like Rose says, the only complaint I have is that I would add a little more support in the insole or midsole. Otherwise, these are the Swiss Army knife of shoes. Tip: for travel, take these, a pair of light minimalist exercise shoes, and some shower slides. Youre packing light and literally don't need any other footwear unless you're hiking or in a freezing climate. Cheers

    I received my Thursday sneakers a couple weeks ago. They are the same color and size as those in the video. I tried to order them when the video came out but there was a delay as they were out of stock. That and bad weather kept me from experiencing them until very recently. The magic heel counter seems to have done its job. I applied some White's Boots leather preservative to help soften the tongue. That said, these have become my favorite footwear (ignoring when I NEED my Nick's or White's boots!). They fit my feet well and are comfortable. In fact, they make my New Balance walking shoes look bad in terms of comfort! I rewatched this video after having some experience with the sneakers and I cringed seeing them cut up! LOL

  • @leeuren1139
    @leeuren1139 Рік тому +1

    Thanks for the great review. I do, however, want to caution people who are thinking about ordering them. The way the upper is tucked under creates a lip around the outer edge of the shoe that causes them to feel like the center of your foot is not supported. This cupping (not sure what to call it) makes the shoe hurt after a surprisingly short time. The shoe is beautiful and the leather is amazing but since it lacks the support/filler in the middle (space between where the upper is curled under at the outer edge), it tends to hurt after less than an hour of being in them. Note: I have put in a few months of breaking them in and it only gets worse as the shoe breaks in. The provided insole doesn't do a good job of filling it since it is a uniform thickness and only conforms to that preexisting cup/U-shape and continues to hurt the outer edges of your foot. You can see in the review what I mean at 8:13 and look at how his thumb pushes down at 9:10 that shows how it would affect your foot. It is very clear to see the center lacks support and there is a "rim" all the way around the outer edge. I feel bad because I love my Captains and have zero issues with them. Hopefully, Thursday finds a way to modify the construction to include some kind of support in the middle. I would happily buy another pair if they could fix this design/construction issue. If not, I can't wear their sneakers due to the discomfort. Best of luck all!

    Had these sneakers for two weeks now (different color) and they are amazing for the price. If you love clean leather sneakers like I do myself these are a must have. Only one small caveat, they seem to run slightly narrow. I’m a bit flat footed but I’m overall a slim person (5’9”,~142lbs for reference) so I’ve never really had issues with the width of other popular leather sneakers such as Koio. However these shoes do feel slightly snug on the sides, nothing uncomfortable or deal breaking for me. But I feel that someone with wider feet might want to size up.

    • @Wren6858
      @Wren6858 10 місяців тому

    @thegrimmer Рік тому +8

    Kudos to RA for finally giving people a good resource to find quality shoes. The tricky part here is that there is a dizzying array of different leathers for the different colors of this model and according to Thursday, they should all be 1.2 - 1.4 mm in thickness. I asked them how a pair may be thicker than that and they said quality control. So besides not knowing which style of leather wears the best and whether the pair you buy will actually have thicker leather than average, it's sort of difficult to know what you're buying. In terms of production location, apparently the white pairs are made in Portugal and all the rest in Mexico. So overall, it's complicated

    I'm in the UK and when I checked these out on Thursday's website, I thought the international shipping was going to be prohibitive but full marks to Thursday - Free shipping on anything over $100! Even anything $99 and under is only $8 (between £5 - £6, depending on the exchange rate) for shipping which is amazing really when you consider that I've seen some brands offer international shipping at upwards of £20 and some UK companies can charge £5 for domestic shipping!

    I'm interested in these sneakers, so I was happy to find this video. I really love the idea of a high quality durable leather sneaker. But I noticed that the men's shoe examined here is described as being made from "Dark Brown Waxed Flesh Horween Leather", but the *women's* version of the same shoe (same color, apparently identical) is described as being made of "Dark Brown Waxed Roughout Leather".
    It seems like the choices for the womens' sneakers are more limited in general. Why are only the men's shoes available in Horween or chrome leather? They're all the same price. I get that maybe we're not as much of the market for this shoe, or that we may actually care less about the leather (I've worked with marketing teams- I get how the bottom line might drive these decisions more than anything else.) But if they're different, I'm curious *how different*. Can you take apart the women's versions of some of these shoes to see if maybe anything else is different/missing?

    • @nightxnight

      This is my issue with the brand as a whole. The women's styles aren't as rugged - they only have two styles built to the same specs as the men's styles - and then as you said, there are more limited options in general if you want the better construction.

      @dianabriggs1032 I noticed the same thing and had emailed customer service about it but couldn’t get a straight answer until after a few back and forths with more pointed questioning. Ultimately they said it was “while it is not Horween leather, it is indeed the same type of leather.” So pretty much a contradictory response. I ended up buying them and the leather is nice, but one shoe was clearly stamped from a nicer part of the hide than the other, which is apparent in the texture. I like the shoes so far with only light wear, but am hesitant to purchase from them again due to lack of responsiveness and knowledge from customer service and other quality control issues from other shoes I tried to order from them.
