For $200. The standard Thursdays are pretty good entry price for a GYW boot. Not every one is looking for the old school veg tan, they tapped into a massive market that wasn’t into too boots. Not shocked they made this higher line, they now have their own factory. Have more control of their entire process.
“Not good quality” Thursday is famous for great quality boots for the $200 range. Just because it has synthetics, it doesn’t mean they are “cheaply made”. I have Grant stone and Parkhurst boots which are much more “traditionally made” boots and I love them. Not everyone wants a traditionally made boot man
Very Good video man. I watch your knife videos, and I like the boot stuff now as well. The Black Label Thursday line is very tempting. We need more competition for the PNW guys, they have a corner on the market if you need a high-arch, all leather boot. It will take a lot to get me away from Frank's, but I might have to try the Thursday's out.
i just got the black label chelsea in shinki shell. the leather is stunning, the feel underfoot is exactly as i would hope and very satisfying. the half sole is a nice touch. unfortunately one of the pull tabs sheared of and not at the point of stitching. thought about fixing it but if you cuff your denim they get hung up on those pull tabs, which could partly explain why fabric is used on those parkhursts. so i had to cut them both off. disappointing but i still am pleased with the overall product especially given the quality of materials for the price. i do think the shape is interesting. looks a bit like a narrow square toe, something to consider if that works for you.
I have a few Thursday Boots, both boots and shoes. I found that I needed to go down one whole size for the Chelsea style boots, but only a half size down for the Captain's. So my Captains are 10.5's and my Chelsea's are 10's. This new black label is very nice looking for sure.
Yeah Thursday definitely turned it up a notch for these Chelsea's. I wear Blundstone Chelsea boots pretty exclusively, but these are more dressy so I'm considering it. I have tried Danner Chelsea boots too and they are good, but not as good as the Blundstone imo.
This is the most intriguing boot I’ve seen in a while. I’m a fan of Western styling but don’t enjoy how one dimensional a cowboy boot is. This is appears to blur the lines between a Western style and a dressier style boot.
I just ordered the black label challenger, I am a size 11 1/2 in sneakers sometimes 11. I don’t know why I went with the half a size smaller and instead of getting an 11 I got a 10 1/2. I still haven’t received them, but I hope that when I do they actually fit but I highly doubt it. Now I’m pretty sure that the last used in this boot isn’t the same as the last in the Challenger because it’s not the same style of boot but I definitely feel like I should have gone with 11. We’ll see
A bit too dressy for my tastes and the price makes it right in line with some much better offerings that I would rather go with since they are proven products.
@bladecentered2264 For sure, it was a good video and very informative. You should check out some Vibergs, I don't normally wear dressy boots but the Viberg service boot is a bit dressy in shell cordovan and it's probably one of my favorite boots, I just cannot wear it with basic clothes because it is just a beautiful boot that looks werid with a casual outfit. 😂
@@RedwolfEDC yeah I've always wanted to try vibergs, the price has been out of reach. Oh course if I just save the amount I buy for two pairs boots I'd have the money for a pair of vibergs lol

Impressive! Looks very good quality and high value proposition. I have enough footwear already but these are still quite tempting
Who makes the Parker model boot? They look great!
Those are made by Parkhurst Boots

Nice pick up that was a great price for shell. Sorry it tore on you, I bet Thursday would replace them

If it has the shiniki cordovan leather its a good leather boot regardless if its Thursday's black label...its a fine good boot

You have great taste sir. Pretty sure you're rocking Darn Tough Socks, too. Thanks for this video...🙂
Yup, love their socks!

You might be ok, because the Challenger looks wider so it might work. Let me know when you get them how they turned out
@@bladecentered2264 thanks for the reply, and will do.
@@bladecentered2264definitely tight, they did have the size guide on their page. I realized it a bit too late.
If the toe is a bit longer and tapered, Thursday can give RM a run for the money.
You don't see a square-toe Chelsea often.
A bit too dressy for my tastes and the price makes it right in line with some much better offerings that I would rather go with since they are proven products.
Fair enough, thanks for checking it out👊

are these black?
No very dark brown
Those are nice looking boots. But they’re Thursday’s.
