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 hope you read your comments because you are putting a spotlight on these companies and showing the consumers if they are a scam or not. Thank you for what you do. Please NEVER stop doing this series
@Pike Fish "nobody makes a better pair of shoes than Nike" Especially their child/slave laborers. The quality is crap, the ethics are crap, and the company is crap.
I live in Italy and they only brought in Chinese sweatshop workers to make stuff in Italy. True craftsmen are found in small local shops here, none of the big shit.
Definitely that is the difference, there are various of Mexican small producers that make shoes just like these at even better price, I think Thursday is expanding this type of merchandise with their name.
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.
@@ambufan3242 Wore them yesterday, all day. The soles have still not worn through, despite the thinning. Still no eyelet breaking, no upper separation from sole, no liner damage whatsoever, still reeks of high-quality leather. They are still the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I will def be buying another pair at some point.
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
Wore my first pair today. I'm impressed already. Already thinking of getting a second pair. I'm sold on the Thursday brand. Bought 2 pairs of boots for my special lady. She absolutely loves them
Can you do a video comparing women’s boots to men’s boots? I’ve seen a lot of your videos about the breakdown in construction in the men’s boots but I’m curious if they make the women’s boots differently
Thursday's rock! I have some Captain boots, some wingtip shoes and (since yesterday) - some white sneakers from them. Great quality at great prices! Thanks for a great review!
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!
Thank you for the review. I hope your editor/friend gets better from virus soon. Can you please do Thursday boots review? I recently bought a pair of presidents from them. I am going to pick up a pair of these sneakers(white) next year for the spring and summer. This review definitely helped me in my decision.
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 do love my Thursdays. My sole came funky, and Thursday offered to replace them, or pay to have them resoled. I got them resole (they were fine otherwise), and even the cobbler was impressed by them. Cool they're making shoes now, too
I’ve got a pair of these and love them! Quality is outstanding. A bit snug at the toe box for my size, but after breaking in, conditioner and using shoe trees, they are my go to sneakers. Also have the black ones that are a little different construction, but equally comfortable. Great value IMO.
Just picked up a pair in Old English. They are an excellent sneaker for a great price. I will admit that I have several pairs of Crown Northamptons and while nothing compares to them, the Thursday sneakers are very impressive.
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
@@somerandomperson8282 I found the sizing to be good for me. There is room in the toe box... something with which I've had problems to the point that I used the "try boot" process when I had my Nick's boots made--I had them pad out the lasts by the big toes. These Thursday sneakers have been comfortable and they have benefited from being conditioned several times.
@@albertoclonado That hasn't been an issue. I find my New Balance sneakers to be far worse... all the foam padding and man made materials serve to insulate and hold the heat in! The leather uppers on the Thursday sneakers don't do that.
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!
You could add a thin layer of foam or felt under the insole that only covers the area you describe. I have these shoes and I haven't noticed that problem.
Chromexcel is combination tanned, so chrome tanned first and then vegetable retanned. It's the vegetable tanning part that makes chromexcel so unique (at least according to Horween, and how we can't find leathers very similar to chromexcel - imo).
Gotta admit I assumed they were a shitty Instagram brand because they advertised there and I read some bad reviews, but this has convinced me to check them out. I'd love to see you cut up a Dalgado sneaker! Similar in looks. I can't really justify getting a Thursday cause I already have a v similar looking Dalgado, so be great to know if my choice was the right one lol
You know I'm not really a fancy sneaker type of person ... I have Chucks and some shitty Sketchers but this is the first sneaker in your whole series that I have considered buying ... and not just because they are cheap! 😁
Awesome video. I hope Thursday appreciates the good press, and you just need to keep doing what you’re doing. This is a guilty pleasure channel for me for sure.
Don't stop with the shoe series! I really enjoy the breakdown of these high quality products, it really helps people sort out what is worth paying for.
@@roveradventures - I'm thinking of getting the cacaos. I would've immediately bought the white ones, but I already bought some Beckett Simonon Reids (which I haven't even worn yet).
yes please. When I bought my first penny loafers, I fell in love with leather and bumped to this channel. I would love to see dress shoes in half. I was hoping to see some in moctober, but the previews showed was all boots though.
I would like you to highlight some companies that are also providing full service for Europe or overseas and from me as well please don't end this series though, it would be great if you could make a second one with different sneakers like by Reeboks or FILA with the straight sole. In Europe, we have that problem that there aren't many good shoemakers around and a straight sole I could change myself.
Honestly, from watching your videos, the Made in Mexico stuff seems about as good, if not better than the Made in Italy stuff. I think with how Goral and Crown blew up from this series, the other take away is that the British companies are actually top tier for these kinds of sneakers.
I am a Texan with a lot of Mexican friends and one thing I know is that the Mexicans know their leather. According to several of my cousins who work cattle, the Mexicans make some of the best boots you can find, especially at around the $300-$500 range. Tons of folks swear by them.
Yes your assumptions are correct but since it's only a low shoe it won't be as uncomfortable as a leather boot thats covering your ankle or a dress shoe with a leather sole.
T Whip back at it again with a top comment! Ya it will be a little stiff at first but Horween’s Chromexcel is a really easy leather to break in. That’s why I use it for my camera harnesses actually, it’s a really good combination of strength and flexibility.
yes! They do have break in period (about 2 days), but out of the box they are comfortable - They just get even more comfortable as the leather shapes to your foot.
I have these shoes and I bought them because of this video. I honestly never wear them and regret buying them so much. They are truly uncomfortable. I always end up getting blisters from them even though I have owned them for a while. They crease horribly and are just not comfortable in my opinion.
Get well soon editor Tyler. Feel better, sending strength. How did u get these? This color is not even available yet! I'm on waiting list. I Can't wait til availability. They look REALLY good!! (I own 4 great pairs of Thursday dress shoes and boots. ) Thanks for the review.
Picked up a pair of premier high tops, I don't like the conditioning that's used from factory. Leather seems much thinner on the sidewalls but that could simply be because of the difference in models. Not bad for $150 a pair.
Well i ordered 9.5. They sent me a pair of size 8s in a size 9.5 box. I'm so upset as they appear to be sold out. What an embarrassing company! Stay away from Thursday!
Being from the part of Mexico where Thursday products are made, the labor is cheap but it is known as the Leather Capital in Mexico. Only the best luxury Mexican brands get their leather products made there you will find "Shoes from Leon, GTO MX" advertising all over Mexico.
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.
Im a 9.5 wide. So a lot of shoes wont fit if its a narrow last. Even if its 2 or 3 sizes up. Do you think I should pass on these or just go for the mens?
I’m watching this 3 years after posting, and the price is STILL $129. Thursday is a truly wonderful company. They’re grinding hard against the corporate greed and I love them for that, on top of having fantastic, affordable products.
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
Exactly!! The whole thing that this excellent series has ultimately proven is that common projects are taking the p**s! Plenty of common projects equivalents for less and plenty of better options for around the same price or less. Common projects belong in the wardrobe of the hype beasts who don't care about quality and the uneducated at this point
@@carrioncrow8191 Not really comparable, Supreme tees retail for $38. It's the hype, and resellers that can drive up the price to the $300 price range. Common Projects have an over inflated retail price to begin with, and can be found commonly on sale.
I bought a pair of these sneakers in Toffee leather because of this review and WOW! BEST PAIR OF SNEAKERS I'VE EVER BOUGHT! The leather is thick and tough yet soft and comfortable plus it smells incredibly good! Everything is nice and comfortable and I love their presentation, I'm blown away by this company and I highly recommend any of their products 👍
If those were the best then you've never experienced the cloudy bounce of a good running sneaker. That grid will eventually push through and fuck your heel up.
I love Thursday boot company, just wish they would make the sole of those shoes a little thicker with more cushion for us big guys. Besides that I think those are dam good leather shoes !!
Hey Richard! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Feel free to shoot us an email at teamthursday@thursdayboots.com directly. We always love to hear new suggestions!
Thanks for this video! I just bought some Thursday boots last week because of your other videos and I saw they just released sneakers and was hoping you'd make a video on it. Will definitely pick up a pair now, they look great!
Immediately in love with these sneakers! I really like CXL and my favorite boots in my collection make use of their waxed rough out. These are going to be a great get
Thanks for the video. Watched a few now and great content as always! 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 $8 (between £5 - £6, depending on the exchange rate) for shipping which is amazing really when you consider that I've seen some brands offer international shipping at upwards of £20 and some UK companies can charge £5 for domestic shipping!
UK is a special case. International shipping in general is not quite that cheap. Shipping to Sweden cost 20$(+4$ sales tax, because american prices are not what the customer pays, but what the company gets to keep) and I assume this would be the case for the rest of the EU as well.
Got myself a pair of these. A couple of scratches caught my eye right out of the box. It appears that Horween leather is susceptible to minor scratch factors like a gentle fingernail depression. @Rose Anvil is this something that can be easily maintained?
Would love to see some of Thursday's women's boots cut in half. I want something i can buy instead of doc Martens cause you have convinced me not to. Thursdays looks like they have a good women's combat boot
This sneaker is just oozing leather, I love it. I recently got a pair of Allen Edmonds sneakers but now i want to get a pair of Thursdays, seams worth it for the price
I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Been hearing about them for a while (have a pair of boots from their Black Label Collection that they used to have), and sneakers aren't my thing. But man, these are really nice. I'm considering the natural chromexcel version, but I'd really like it if they made a high top version.
I own a pair of those shoes but in whiskey color. It has a nice look and feel. Just need to change out insert to have a lil more padding. Other than that great shoe
whats the verdict on these? I am liking the look of the becketts because of the leather lined interior. any comfort issues with these shoes not being fully lined?
Now that I have watched the video, I am even more impressed with you and your dedication to your subscribers and to Thursday Boot. I have 4 pairs of their boots and I really want several more and some of their dress and casual shoes and now these sneakers are a must have for me! I can’t wait to grab a pair! Thank you again! I plan to leave Thursday props on their site for getting behind this as well.
This is a relief to read! I just ordered two pairs of their boots and and then came across some really bad reviews regarding quality control issues and poor customer service and am a little freaked out. Figers crossed!
I just received these today and they are great! Felt uncomfortable for about 2 minutes because of the thick leather but already started feeling great after that. The leather also smells so good! Super high quality.
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?
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.
Do I get this shoe in Germany? The leather is such high quality, it would be a shame to throw em away when the sole is used up, so can they get resoled? Best wishes to your editor, hope the rest of the team won't catch the disease.
WHITE SNEAKER FINALE TOMORROW!!! Leave a comment here if there’s something specific you want me to cover.
How about a white pair of Salvatore Ferragamo Sneakers!? I like the brand a lot but wonder if the price is worth the purchase?

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!

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.
How is it now, did something significant changed?
@@ambufan3242 Wore them yesterday, all day. The soles have still not worn through, despite the thinning. Still no eyelet breaking, no upper separation from sole, no liner damage whatsoever, still reeks of high-quality leather. They are still the best pair of shoes I have ever owned. I will def be buying another pair at some point.
Famous, never heard of you.
@@charliesmash Never heard of you either, thanks for contributing nothing.
does the outsole got thinner alot?you make me more confident in purchasing this shoes, thanks!
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
Wore my first pair today. I'm impressed already.
Already thinking of getting a second pair.
I'm sold on the Thursday brand.
Bought 2 pairs of boots for my special lady. She absolutely loves them
These are beautiful. They look like the quintessential minimalist sneaker for me. The all white ones, the tan, the dark brown pair are all a must.
$130 for chromexcel leather.In a mean time Jordan keep giving a synthetic leather for $200-$250 price tag.Talk about quality over legacy
Facts
Can you do a video comparing women’s boots to men’s boots? I’ve seen a lot of your videos about the breakdown in construction in the men’s boots but I’m curious if they make the women’s boots differently
Thursday's rock! I have some Captain boots, some wingtip shoes and (since yesterday) - some white sneakers from them. Great quality at great prices! Thanks for a great review!
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!
Thank you for the review. I hope your editor/friend gets better from virus soon. Can you please do Thursday boots review? I recently bought a pair of presidents from them. I am going to pick up a pair of these sneakers(white) next year for the spring and summer. This review definitely helped me in my decision.
This isn’t a review. It’s a sponsored video.
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 love my Thursday Captain boots!
I do love my Thursdays. My sole came funky, and Thursday offered to replace them, or pay to have them resoled. I got them resole (they were fine otherwise), and even the cobbler was impressed by them. Cool they're making shoes now, too
I’ve got a pair of these and love them! Quality is outstanding. A bit snug at the toe box for my size, but after breaking in, conditioner and using shoe trees, they are my go to sneakers. Also have the black ones that are a little different construction, but equally comfortable. Great value IMO.
Hey does it crease like crazy
Don’t they have wide pairs as well?
This is great! Glad they made a sneaker and you got to review it! Keep up the good work man! Happy Sunday
Just picked up a pair in Old English. They are an excellent sneaker for a great price. I will admit that I have several pairs of Crown Northamptons and while nothing compares to them, the Thursday sneakers are very impressive.
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
Hi John how do you find the sizing, is it true to size and do you have enough space in the toe box etc? :)
@@somerandomperson8282 I found the sizing to be good for me. There is room in the toe box... something with which I've had problems to the point that I used the "try boot" process when I had my Nick's boots made--I had them pad out the lasts by the big toes. These Thursday sneakers have been comfortable and they have benefited from being conditioned several times.
Thanks for the detail. How about wearing them in the summer, don't they get too hot above 90F?
@@albertoclonado That hasn't been an issue. I find my New Balance sneakers to be far worse... all the foam padding and man made materials serve to insulate and hold the heat in! The leather uppers on the Thursday sneakers don't do that.
How was the color, dark brown almost black?
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!
You could add a thin layer of foam or felt under the insole that only covers the area you describe.
I have these shoes and I haven't noticed that problem.
Chromexcel is combination tanned, so chrome tanned first and then vegetable retanned. It's the vegetable tanning part that makes chromexcel so unique (at least according to Horween, and how we can't find leathers very similar to chromexcel - imo).
Ya it’s pretty amazing stuff, lots of people try to replicate it but it’s hard to beat the original
trickers does something like this...
@@RoseAnvil Can you re-sole these? I heard from other people you can't.
@@joverificonot really cost effective to resole $130 shoes
Gotta admit I assumed they were a shitty Instagram brand because they advertised there and I read some bad reviews, but this has convinced me to check them out. I'd love to see you cut up a Dalgado sneaker! Similar in looks. I can't really justify getting a Thursday cause I already have a v similar looking Dalgado, so be great to know if my choice was the right one lol
You know I'm not really a fancy sneaker type of person ... I have Chucks and some shitty Sketchers but this is the first sneaker in your whole series that I have considered buying ... and not just because they are cheap! 😁
Went and bought a pair after watching this video. Absolutely love them, the quality belies the price.
Awesome video. I hope Thursday appreciates the good press, and you just need to keep doing what you’re doing. This is a guilty pleasure channel for me for sure.
Those are really nice looking shoes. Love all that Horween leather goodness. 👍
Don't stop with the shoe series! I really enjoy the breakdown of these high quality products, it really helps people sort out what is worth paying for.
Now this is really impressive for the price.
Best shoes under 200 id say.
@@roveradventures - I'm thinking of getting the cacaos. I would've immediately bought the white ones, but I already bought some Beckett Simonon Reids (which I haven't even worn yet).
As all of their boots are. I have their captains and Chelsea’s and they’re all legit good quality at $200
So glad you agree :)
@Kevin E Looking forward to having you a part of Team Thursday!
It would be interesting to see a dress shoe be cutted in half!
yes please. When I bought my first penny loafers, I fell in love with leather and bumped to this channel. I would love to see dress shoes in half. I was hoping to see some in moctober, but the previews showed was all boots though.
Agreed. Could even do some of the Thursday dress shoes. Wouldn't mind seeing their loafers reviewed.
Yes. For example a pair of Carminas or Meermins.
One day I’ll do a dress shoe series!
@@RoseAnvil Finally. Something for men of culture.
If only this had a wide toe box/natural shape, it would be my dream shoe.
I didn't anticipate this review to be this quick!
edit: and thank you for your hard work you're awesome
I love the idea of Thursday boots only sending out emails on Thursday.
I would like you to highlight some companies that are also providing full service for Europe or overseas and from me as well please don't end this series though, it would be great if you could make a second one with different sneakers like by Reeboks or FILA with the straight sole. In Europe, we have that problem that there aren't many good shoemakers around and a straight sole I could change myself.
Now these are some cool shoes. They already have a waiting list, so apparently a lot of people feel the same.
I think I prefer when you get the chance to wear the shoes/boots for a week or two before you cut them, adds to your opinion.
Honestly, from watching your videos, the Made in Mexico stuff seems about as good, if not better than the Made in Italy stuff. I think with how Goral and Crown blew up from this series, the other take away is that the British companies are actually top tier for these kinds of sneakers.
I am a Texan with a lot of Mexican friends and one thing I know is that the Mexicans know their leather. According to several of my cousins who work cattle, the Mexicans make some of the best boots you can find, especially at around the $300-$500 range. Tons of folks swear by them.
Mexico does have good leather for sure, whether Italian or Mexican, you can’t really go wrong
I've had a white pair in the cart for months. Just pulled the trigger. Thanks man
Are they comfortable out of the box? Or with the thick leather will there be a big break in period?
Yes your assumptions are correct but since it's only a low shoe it won't be as uncomfortable as a leather boot thats covering your ankle or a dress shoe with a leather sole.
T Whip back at it again with a top comment! Ya it will be a little stiff at first but Horween’s Chromexcel is a really easy leather to break in. That’s why I use it for my camera harnesses actually, it’s a really good combination of strength and flexibility.
only took me one time use to break in em.
yes! They do have break in period (about 2 days), but out of the box they are comfortable - They just get even more comfortable as the leather shapes to your foot.
I have these shoes and I bought them because of this video. I honestly never wear them and regret buying them so much. They are truly uncomfortable. I always end up getting blisters from them even though I have owned them for a while. They crease horribly and are just not comfortable in my opinion.
Awesome, as always mate👌
Hmmmm.... The branding on the heel spoils it a little but no doubt they will be a great seller👌
Get well soon editor Tyler. Feel better, sending strength.
How did u get these? This color is not even available yet! I'm on waiting list. I Can't wait til availability. They look REALLY good!!
(I own 4 great pairs of Thursday dress shoes and boots. )
Thanks for the review.
We appreciate all your amazing support :) You're going to love the sneakers. Let us know how you like them once you get your hands on them!
I have a pair of Thursday boots and I highly recommend them. They're very comfortable and look great.
Picked up a pair of premier high tops, I don't like the conditioning that's used from factory. Leather seems much thinner on the sidewalls but that could simply be because of the difference in models. Not bad for $150 a pair.
love to see a breakdown of some of their boots too! great vid! Hope the editor get's well soon!
There's sum gr8 cut-in-half reviews of Thursday Boots and shoes on UA-cam. #PotterandSons etc.
Anyone else cop these on the December 10th restock? I cannot wait to get them in hand
Me!! Was so happy to see the email that they restocked!!
Well i ordered 9.5. They sent me a pair of size 8s in a size 9.5 box. I'm so upset as they appear to be sold out. What an embarrassing company! Stay away from Thursday!
Good looking shoe and the value is outstanding. Great job Thursday..
Thanks to you, I discovered so many high-quality shoe brands!
I wish your editor speedy recovery.
They are sold out already. Hope they plan to make more!
Being from the part of Mexico where Thursday products are made, the labor is cheap but it is known as the Leather Capital in Mexico. Only the best luxury Mexican brands get their leather products made there you will find "Shoes from Leon, GTO MX" advertising all over Mexico.
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.
Im a 9.5 wide. So a lot of shoes wont fit if its a narrow last. Even if its 2 or 3 sizes up. Do you think I should pass on these or just go for the mens?
I’m watching this 3 years after posting, and the price is STILL $129. Thursday is a truly wonderful company. They’re grinding hard against the corporate greed and I love them for that, on top of having fantastic, affordable products.
Oh those look clean! First time I've winced at you cutting apart a pair of the sneakers. Thanks for the vid!
How would you care for the leather? Use oil, wax, or conditioner? Thank you for featuring them.
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
Honestly I've never liked plain old leather shoes too much but I can see the appeal
If you can get all that for $130 then why is common projects even a thing?
ua-cam.com/video/-Bt4Ly9_9Qg/v-deo.html
Same reason Sureme can get $300 for a T-shirt
Exactly!! The whole thing that this excellent series has ultimately proven is that common projects are taking the p**s!
Plenty of common projects equivalents for less and plenty of better options for around the same price or less.
Common projects belong in the wardrobe of the hype beasts who don't care about quality and the uneducated at this point
@@carrioncrow8191 Not really comparable, Supreme tees retail for $38. It's the hype, and resellers that can drive up the price to the $300 price range. Common Projects have an over inflated retail price to begin with, and can be found commonly on sale.
J B no the English prisoner Charles Bronson not the action hero. The prisoner was named after the real Charles Bronson though.
Such a good quality sneaker! I even felt bad when you started cut it in half (first time that happened). Excellent video, though.
I bought a pair of these sneakers in Toffee leather because of this review and WOW! BEST PAIR OF SNEAKERS I'VE EVER BOUGHT! The leather is thick and tough yet soft and comfortable plus it smells incredibly good! Everything is nice and comfortable and I love their presentation, I'm blown away by this company and I highly recommend any of their products 👍
If those were the best then you've never experienced the cloudy bounce of a good running sneaker. That grid will eventually push through and fuck your heel up.
@@InsolentVillager Running sneaker are a different category of shoe designed for a different movement so yeah, of course they are more comfortable.
Please consider doing a breakdown on their new high top sneaker.
I would love to see a review and cut in half for thursday boots captain. I have a pair and it is a really good pair of boots.
Trenton and Heath made a breakdown of the boot. Very good quality for the price
I would love to see a review for a product instead of an ad.
you broke 200K!! congrats
Thank you!
Man, I was just on the market for some new shoes like these. Solid price too
I was really set on the Oliver Cabells but I think these are what's up.
I love Thursday boot company, just wish they would make the sole of those shoes a little thicker with more cushion for us big guys. Besides that I think those are dam good leather shoes !!
Hey Richard! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Feel free to shoot us an email at teamthursday@thursdayboots.com directly. We always love to hear new suggestions!
How comfy are they tho
Thanks for this video! I just bought some Thursday boots last week because of your other videos and I saw they just released sneakers and was hoping you'd make a video on it. Will definitely pick up a pair now, they look great!
We hope you enjoy :)
hey adam, did you buy these shoes? If so can you provide your thoughts please!
I just ordered my pair!!! been out of stock for months.
Immediately in love with these sneakers! I really like CXL and my favorite boots in my collection make use of their waxed rough out. These are going to be a great get
Thanks for the video. Watched a few now and great content as always!
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 $8 (between £5 - £6, depending on the exchange rate) for shipping which is amazing really when you consider that I've seen some brands offer international shipping at upwards of £20 and some UK companies can charge £5 for domestic shipping!
UK is a special case. International shipping in general is not quite that cheap. Shipping to Sweden cost 20$(+4$ sales tax, because american prices are not what the customer pays, but what the company gets to keep) and I assume this would be the case for the rest of the EU as well.
Toaster really stealing the show on this one!
Got myself a pair of these. A couple of scratches caught my eye right out of the box. It appears that Horween leather is susceptible to minor scratch factors like a gentle fingernail depression. @Rose Anvil is this something that can be easily maintained?
How are their boots? So far you've led me into some great shoes and I appreciate the heck out of it!
I’ve never actually seen them in person but I think they are going to be in the moctober series
@@RoseAnvil Awesome! I'll keep an eye out!
Thank you very much for all of your reviews! Im hooked to your channel amd I learned a lot from it.
Would love to see some of Thursday's women's boots cut in half. I want something i can buy instead of doc Martens cause you have convinced me not to. Thursdays looks like they have a good women's combat boot
This sneaker is just oozing leather, I love it. I recently got a pair of Allen Edmonds sneakers but now i want to get a pair of Thursdays, seams worth it for the price
You're going to love them :) Looking forward to having you a part of the team! Best, Kendra from Thursday
Would be great to see you cut apart their boots. I've heard about some unique material used in their soles, but don't know much about it.
first time ive heard of this company and these are exactly my style.
You can always buy the Vans version.
I'm at the other end of the spectrum. Been hearing about them for a while (have a pair of boots from their Black Label Collection that they used to have), and sneakers aren't my thing. But man, these are really nice. I'm considering the natural chromexcel version, but I'd really like it if they made a high top version.
SO glad you found us :)
I own a pair of those shoes but in whiskey color. It has a nice look and feel. Just need to change out insert to have a lil more padding. Other than that great shoe
Fantastic breakdown, thank you! Could you do a breakdown of their captain boot?
whats the verdict on these? I am liking the look of the becketts because of the leather lined interior. any comfort issues with these shoes not being fully lined?
Now that I have watched the video, I am even more impressed with you and your dedication to your subscribers and to Thursday Boot. I have 4 pairs of their boots and I really want several more and some of their dress and casual shoes and now these sneakers are a must have for me! I can’t wait to grab a pair! Thank you again! I plan to leave Thursday props on their site for getting behind this as well.
This is a relief to read! I just ordered two pairs of their boots and and then came across some really bad reviews regarding quality control issues and poor customer service and am a little freaked out. Figers crossed!
do ECCO and ROCKPORT cut in half
I just received these today and they are great! Felt uncomfortable for about 2 minutes because of the thick leather but already started feeling great after that. The leather also smells so good! Super high quality.
How are they now ? Are they true to size ?
Love my high tops in this color
It would be nice to do Beckett Simonon too, but their stuff is made to order
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?
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.
Love the backstory
Out of all the shoes I've watched you destroy this one hurt the most for some reason haha
Hey, Big W! Be careful around that bandsaw as your stretch yourself thin for us. Pleeeeease
I always get nervous
I get nervous watching too ha ha but I’ve used a bandsaw regularly my whole life without any accidents... yet
Just got mine yesterday. Well worth the restock wait! Thursday’s are the best
I was just wondering when you will do this! Cool stuff!
Do I get this shoe in Germany?
The leather is such high quality, it would be a shame to throw em away when the sole is used up, so can they get resoled?
Best wishes to your editor, hope the rest of the team won't catch the disease.
I know from experience that Thursday ships to the Netherlands via DHL, so Germany is probably no problem either.
@@ALEXANDER1318 After DHL is a part of Deutsche Post (German Post Service), that should go well.
Did you buy it? Im also interested in shipping them to germany. Where there any troubles?
