Timecodes Intro 00:00 Unboxing 00:30 Thursday StormKing Outsole 2:08 My Boot Journey 02:42 Thursday Captain Materials & Construction 05:53 How to Care for Thursday Boots? 07:50 What size should I get in Thursday Captains? 09:13 Should I buy Thursday Boot Captains? 11:00
I read reviews about that "Go half a size down" thing from reviews and got the wrong size. That is assuming that all you wear is sneakers, If you wear a dress shoe like an Allen Edmonds, go with your dress shoe size and it will fit perfectly.
If you have wide feet, get your normal size, seeing as these are thin at the toe and stuff. Great quality boot. My foot he molded to the inside and they fit even better
I recently ordered The Stormking in Tobacco since I found the studded Captains were trash for CO weather. I went a half size down this time and have yet to try them on and past the return period. I'm happy to hear that sizing down is the way to go! Does the toe box get more roomy from your experience wearing for a while and stretch? Does it stretch overall and break in? I have a feeling they're gonna fit quite snug. I wonder how they have broken in for you now compared to 1st trying them on. Thanks man great video.
They have a bit of stretch but nothing crazy. If they are too tight they won’t stretch enough to be a good fit in my opinion. Thanks for watching king man and a ways a pleasure to hear from you!! Cheers
Really enjoy the videos and enthusiasm you have for Thursday Boots. Just bought a pair of the Natural Captains because I wanted the Chromexcel leather. Considering a second purchase of possibly the Stormking sole, just wish they had a couple of more colors. I was curious do you find the Stormking has the same feel or fit, and is it as comfortable as the regular Captains?
Went right over and checked out your channel. Awesome editing work!! Great content. Thanks for the sub and I got you back. Great community here and happy to see you are from CO too. Represent!
@@GentlemansJourney Thank you brother! I've been working on improving the editing so I really appreciate you saying that! I really appreciate you taking your own time to checkout the channel! And thanks man I really appreciate your sub as well and your support! It means a lot brother I really appreciate you! And nice you're from CO too!! That's awesome man, just when I think it cant get any better lol. Awesome bro represent! Thanks again brother looking forward to more content!
Thursday Boots are excellent boots. They took a big bite out of the market. Wolverine responded with their BLVD collection, which easily beats Thursday Boots. BLVD boots look and fit much better. They have genuine Vibram soles. The BLVD collection sells for $199. Thursday responded with the “StormKing” sole, which bears a strong resemblance to Wolverine BLVD boots.
I gotta go check into those, I don't recon I've heard of them yet. Wolverine for sure but maybe not the BLVD boots. Thanks for the info and appreciate you watching.
Haha love the competition. Thursday for me though. I respect them and how they do their leathers. I bet they’re still better quality than wolverine because everything under 200.00 are absolute garbage. I’d know I was a welder and iron worker and unless it was thoroughgood or redwing it fell apart! So for a none work boot such as these and the wolverines also made for such I’m sure Thursday is still better.
Hey friend I love your channel and have bought my fist pair of thorogood heritage boots because of you lol I've been looking into getting a pair of thursday boots but not sure on size for thorogood I went with a 9EE what would you recommend for size on these
I’d say go the same size in Thursday’s too. At least if you try it on in the house they can always accept returns. Appreciate the kind words and got a lot of great stuff coming down the pipe! 🥾🥾
@Gentleman's Journey I'll give it a try how do you like your Thursdays as of now? I've seen alot of negative reviews on quality control which is making me kind of skeptical
my question may not be related but what is the brand of the pair of pants you were wearing at the beginning of the clip ? My pants are black but they fade color quicker than a pair of shoes
Those were some new Levi pants. I had to get some new jeans for the new boots. lol Sadly, I haven't seen Levi pants hold their color long either. Thanks for watching! Have you found any brands you like?
How do you condition this leather? It’s a great looking boot, I’ve looked at these myself, even though I already have way too many boots LOL. Edit, never mind, just watched the rest of the video hahahaha
Thanks for watching, I wanted to still let you know we juuuuust put out a new video where I clean these boots as well as my original Captain's. We're excited about this one! ua-cam.com/video/9CO2s_0r83M/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching Jed! I am currently up in Maine bouncing around parks and traveling a lot. Between driving long hours and talking long walks they have not failed me.. Cheers!
Thank you for this video! Ive been studying which boot I should get for my first lace up pair. Ive had my mind set on Thursdays but this helped seal the deal on which one I should get.
I too them up this hike to a ICY waterfall recently ua-cam.com/video/QpAx8MglHsU/v-deo.html and that was over an hour and I felt great. Water did not yet penetrate and my feet were warm. I was hiking and moving a lot so I think that helped. However, I did buy some new LL Bean Boots that are on their way now. I'll be doing a video on those soon. I think 1-2 hrs is the top i'd go in the captains. That's why i think these are great winter boots because the Stormking Outsole is legit and for most people you just travel from the house to the car and then to work or short outings. I appreciate you watching our video Alexis!
Enjoyed the video. Just purchased two pair of the Thursday's Diplomat moc toes. If possible, can you let me know the logo on the hat you're wearing in the vid. That's a great colour so hoping to snag one online somewhere. Thanks!
That's a great question. I tried one of each on and walked around and I would say about the same but if anything the StormKing was a bit more giving. I think the rubber is a bit softer?? (minimal difference, if any) That said, I was mostly concerned with the size difference. Glad I sized down on this new pair!
@@cristiangamez8670 So pumped you have these boots. I have been wearing my redwings a lot for work to really break them in and then do another review/cleaning video on them and when I put these on in the evenings I can honestly say my feet are happy. Just a good fit!
I have the tobacco President and love the low-care aspect of it. I hate Thursday’s fake-Danite sole, however, which went flat after 4 months of light wear. I replaced it with a Vibram sole and they are so superior. Hopefully this new storm king sole will wear better and not be slick, because I’d love to go back to Thursdays.
hey nice video; i need your advice. the sole on my new captain boot is not flat and it wobbles front to back. just the left boot; the right one sits flat. will the left one flatten out with wear or should i return it?
Could you compare the outsole to the standard studded sole and the wedge sole? Like, which of them is the most comfortable to stand and walk on for 8 hours (tile/concrete) in order? I have the studded sole and it is fine sitting at a desk but if I need to go out on the floor and walk/stand for hours at a time, it is too hard underfoot. Trying to decide if the StormKing outsole or the Diplomat Wedge would be a better bet. (I don't need a work boot, just comfortable soles, lol.) Thanks!
I don't have the Thursday Diplomat but I do own several wedge outsoles and if comfort is what you are looking for I'd certainly guide you that direction. Great reminder that I need to add the Diplomat a bit higher on my list. Cheers and thanks for watching.
I just got the exact same boot. They are so comfortable. I hear r talk about great boot... for the price. I don't know boots, but to me $200 is a lot of money. So these boots needs to last.
I bet 2021 is going to be a great year for Thursday, 2020 had to be an awesome year for them. Hopefully a bit more range in size and colors. I'm two pair in and love the quality of this company!
Would these outsoles be perfect for a restaurant environment? I need new shoes and I'm looking into getting some boots this time. Would I be slipping around with these outsoles?
They would not be approved in the restaurants I've worked in. That would be awesome if a cobbler could outfit some Thursday Captains with a restaurant approved outsole. Would probably slip in these in a restaurant setting.
@@GentlemansJourney good choice I will prob go that route on mine once the mini lug is wore down. Thanks! Im a big Lucchese guy. Those are some stonewashed giant gators ✌🏻
Just got a pair myself and they are gorgeous. Winters are pretty rough where I live too so I am curious how well the leather will change in heavy snow.
Got a video coming out very soon where I took these guys out hiking in the snow and strapped some Yaktrax on them too. Loved them, even in the cold for a short hike. Loving these.
@@aMoodyHipster You had me thinking so I went and checked them. After I went hiking I noticed that there was a bit of sulfer build up, like little white veins and that came off easy with the wipe of a wet rag. I haven't touched them with conditioner. There is a pinned note (first comment above) from Thursday stating the Rough and Tough leather should not be conditioned.
How would these look dressed up a little bit? Not like full business casual, but maybe some chinos and a button down? I like their rugged look but not sure if they could be dressed up beyond jeans
Great review i love these boots, just not sure what size to order. I'm a uk 8 so thinking of ordering an 8 and a half as US sizes are a size bigger. Also what type of red wing boots are those i really like them. Thanks mate
Thanks for watching and best of luck with the size. The Red Wings are the Roughnecks. Here is a video we did on those. ua-cam.com/video/7KGf6KAUWCo/v-deo.html
There is really no noticeable difference. I love them both but the StormKing fits my life style much more. I took out the Thursday original outsole out on a rocky road and I noticed a bit of the stitching break a bit.
That is a great question and I wasn't sure so I weighed them. I ship things out for Ebay so I used my scale. The old Captains are worn for 2 years now and they weigh 3lb 7.5oz. The new StormKing Captains weigh 3lb 9.8oz. As you can tell there is virtually no difference. In terms of the sound, I think the StormKing is a little quieter because the rubber seems to be softer. Hope that helps and check us out on Facebook too at Gentleman's Journey
I'd say that it is just shy of nubuck. Nubuck is sanded top grail leather to give it a bit of a nap but not as much as suede. The Rugged and Resilient is still closer to smooth skin. Thursday does offer some strictly nubuck leather boots. The rugged and resilient is a very interesting leather, loving mine.
@@GentlemansJourney ohh i see! Yeah it seems like they dont really say what type of leather it is, but for sure theyre amazing. Waiting for them to drop the black matte with the stormking outsole🤞🏼
Not sure that I can give the best answer but at the back of the boot from the midsole it is 1 1/4in tall and toward the front of the heel it is 3/4in tall. Let me know if that helps at all. Cheers!
I would say no, it was snug but not tight or loose. I've been wearing them regularly now and they continue to feel great. I am a 12 in regular shoes and the Captains in 12 give me a bit too much room but my new 11.5's seem to be the right fit for me.
No but you could purchase some waterproofing chemicals to add to them. However, if I recommend that then I'll get a ton of pushback online as how it will ruin the leather.... lol
I got the Brown, they give off a red color on camera and in person. If I wanted the traditional outsole again I'd go for the Arizona Adobe, Burnt Copper or Terracotta. I like the Rugged and Resilient line so the Terracotta would be my third choice.
Man I hated TBC for the last 3 years but this year I bought a Captain and a Chukka pair 😆. I went true to size in my Chukkas tho. Chukkas always seem to run small on me. Great video my friend I enjoyed it
@@GentlemansJourney Hey, On the chukkas I got the Olive Green suede type ones waiting on their arrival. I came back to them because I understood better what gap they filled in my rotation and TBC filled it in perfectly with aesthetics and price point and quality. However, I NEVER pay retail. Also I didn't understand my sizing and foot dimensions so I always got the wrong size. Once I understood my foot sizing and fit it was a no brainer. TBC are more comfortable than I expected. With never paying retail it's a win! I got The Captain in brown too. Thank you for asking.
@@ronnykumala I'm wondering if there is a type of bootie you can slip over them or even get a boot maker to resole one with that. I keep heart this request, maybe a business idea!!
Thanks for watching and the sub! I don't own the timberlands but I have tried them on and I would say that the timberlands have a wider toe box and less arch support. That's based on memory but I would say that the midsole Thursday has came up with is hard to beat.
I don't want to lead you astray.... I did a google search of conversion charts and was not confident in the results. Best of luck friend and thanks for watching the video! @ThursdayBoots any help here??
Haven’t conditioned them after seeing that comment from Thursday on this video..still kinda hard to believe but I’ll see how it goes for a while and then decide. Thanks for watching
@@wyattc.4455 I still struggle thinking the leather will stay supple without conditioner. I am just starting with these ones so I'll keep you all posted with how mine are doing.
I bought a pair in the tobacco color as well on amazon. I dont know why, but the color my pair doesnt look like what is shown online. Instead of looking like the pair shown in this video, it looks more of like a dark brown. Did anyone experience the same issue?
I just could not do this companies boots. They are good budget boots. I ordered a couple pair when they first started up and did try to like them. They just made my feet sweat and the foot bed did not work for me. I did order another pair a few months ago as their product line had greatly expanded. Gave them to charity after a couple wears. These boots are good for a budget boot and a starting point to see if you like the ankle boot style.
@@GentlemansJourney I have a pretty healthy collection of boots. Most are Alden, Red Wings, White's, Lucchese and Nick's. I do try out other boots from time-to-time just to check them out. Not on a large scale but most of these usually do not make it into the keepers category. Thursday, Helm, Allen Edmonds and a few others brands did not make the cut. Nothing wrong with the boots I did not keep. Most are decent when factoring in price point, and other criteria. Some boots just did not look good on me as well. Not a boot snob but like anything, you like what you like and you normally get what you pay for. Any clothing I buy regardless of price that does not stay goes to a veterans charity. I could sell them but would rather help other folks in need.
@@GentlemansJourney just some beat up Cowbot Ariats. Ive never had a "fashion boot" so just bought some thursdays so far love them gonna try some majors next. Great vid btw!
@@GentlemansJourney possibly, because I normally wear a 7.5 in red wings boots, so it was strange to me to go a full size down. I plan on getting a pair of captains and I contacted Thursday through Instagram and asked them if I should go a full size down in the captains as well and they said yes.
@@blue9300 For some reason I'm not immediately digging the other color offered in the captains with the StormKing as much as the tobacco color. I think you made a solid decision...
@@GentlemansJourney I agree the tobacco is by far the best color. Although I’d like to wear them with light denim but maybe it’s time to get out of the summer vibes
Wow that's so interesting, are you sending them back and getting the next size up? Would love to stay informed on how that goes for you. Thanks for watching the video friend!
@@intrinsicimagery I run up to a 13 in some companies. Still can't wait to get White's boots or Truman Boot Co where I can get custom made. Would love to see how that feels.
Not a bad video, man. I appreciate the time and effort you're putting into them and hope you're able to grow your channel. But you may want to check that link on the Thursday Boot Co "Caring for Your Leather" page that you included in your video because you may be giving people advice that could damage their excellent boots. Scroll to minute marker 7:53 of your video (ua-cam.com/video/xmXL2Hs-bXE/v-deo.html) and you'll see the link in the "Note:" section of the webpage from Thursday's website that you included. Specifically the Note states "Note: If you are looking to clean or treat Grizzly Wheat, Terracotta, or any "Rugged & Resilient" leathers (Arizona Adobe, Tobacco, Black Matte, Canyon, Burnt Copper, Sandstone, and Colorado), click here for instructions. Do not follow the instructions below." It's inadvisable to use a smooth leather conditioner on Thursday's Rugged & Resilient leather. It's not a smooth leather. Thursday doesn't advertise it's tannage but it's likely a nubuck leather that's been weather treated and that means you really need to treat it like suede/nubuck when it comes to cleaning, which means NO smooth leather conditioners, creams, or waxes. Can you use those products? Sure, it's still full grain leather after all. Can it negatively affect the leather? Yes. Is it guaranteed to negatively affect the leather? I'm not going to say that but it will definitely change the texture of the Rugged & Resilient leather over time after repeated applications and can also affect the weather proofing. You don't need take my word for it, but you could take Trenton & Heath's word for it - ua-cam.com/video/Dw1fb0FxyPE/v-deo.html.
@@GentlemansJourney I enjoy watching these videos to relax and give my mind something recreational for a bit. I admit I haven't watched newer videos where the audio might have improved. I'm currently working from home and have a construction site right in front of my door, so apologies for being worn down by the noise.
It's definitely annoying and can kill an otherwise good video. We had some new equipment that we regretfully didn't tune in good enough before putting this video out. Getting a better handle on it and hope that will show in our next video. Cheers!
Have a look at our products, thanks friends! teespring.com/stores/go-on-gear
Nice review! Just subbed!
Do you think these boots will be good for casual hiking?
@@Native_love That Means A Lot, Thanks!
@@ndane2 I really do. I have taken them on several short hikes and they are great. May get sweaty after a long hike as they are not breathable but perfect for casual hikes. Cheers
You have to try the Thursday Diplomats
Stormking in tobacco is my absolute favourite. I own 8 pairs of thursday boots.

That's so encouraging. I would say they do not go with every pan but see to be pretty versatile. See ya in the next video!
Thursday needs to offer the Stormking Captains in Natural or Brandy. I prefer the lighter colors even though the lighter leathers aren’t as rugged.
I hear ya! 🥾🥾
I read reviews about that "Go half a size down" thing from reviews and got the wrong size. That is assuming that all you wear is sneakers, If you wear a dress shoe like an Allen Edmonds, go with your dress shoe size and it will fit perfectly.
That's what I was afraid of. Good thing I saw your comment.

Thursday Boots are excellent boots. They took a big bite out of the market.
Wolverine responded with their BLVD collection, which easily beats Thursday Boots.

I really think the Diplomat would be a great boot! The hat is the "Filson Logger Cap - Rustedred - One Size
." I like the quality of Filson.
Do you find the storm king outsole more comfortable than their standard outsole?
That's a great question. I tried one of each on and walked around and I would say about the same but if anything the StormKing was a bit more giving. I think the rubber is a bit softer?? (minimal difference, if any) That said, I was mostly concerned with the size difference. Glad I sized down on this new pair!
I would also say they’re equally comfortable! The stormkings have no break in period whatsoever tho. Straight up comfortable from day one
@@cristiangamez8670 So pumped you have these boots. I have been wearing my redwings a lot for work to really break them in and then do another review/cleaning video on them and when I put these on in the evenings I can honestly say my feet are happy. Just a good fit!
I have the tobacco President and love the low-care aspect of it. I hate Thursday’s fake-Danite sole, however, which went flat after 4 months of light wear.

Would you mind posting a small video on them? I have yet to see any videos on the Logger. I’d love to see it!
@@UserLev Agreed, no one's done a video on Thursday Loggers yet. :)
@@UserLev I have a ton of ideas on an outdoor interactive video on those!
Are they waterproof? Can you walk thru puddles?
Water resistant overall. They have a nice storm welt and great construction. You can do better for steady weather wear but puddles will be fine.
I just got the exact same boot. They are so comfortable. I hear r talk about great boot... for the price. I don't know boots, but to me $200 is a lot of money. So these boots needs to last.
I hear ya man, don’t wanna through hard earned money at bad gear. These are a solid purchase!
is this an adequate sole for hiking?
It’ll hike! 🥾🥾
How much height would the stormking sole give you compared to the classic sole you reckon?
I weighed them and they are so close that it's not really measurable. I'm happy about that. Thanks for checking us out!
My main complaints is the same as you. Widee sizes isnt available to many shoes, and colors are limited.
I bet 2021 is going to be a great year for Thursday, 2020 had to be an awesome year for them. Hopefully a bit more range in size and colors. I'm two pair in and love the quality of this company!
Does it have a leather welt or synthetic ?
Leather!

They would not be approved in the restaurants I've worked in. That would be awesome if a cobbler could outfit some Thursday Captains with a restaurant approved outsole. Would probably slip in these in a restaurant setting.
Those look great. But those roughnecks are where its at! Those were beautiful
I'm eying the Iron Rangers too. I want to get the Vibram Lug Outsole on them. Nice boots on your profile pic.
@@GentlemansJourney good choice I will prob go that route on mine once the mini lug is wore down. Thanks! Im a big Lucchese guy. Those are some stonewashed giant gators ✌🏻
Which model red wing boot was that? 2942?
That's exactly right!
About sizing - what is your foot length?
I'm right now trying to figure out my sizing online :D and got to your video.
On a Brannock device I’m an 11 sitting and 11.5 standing.
11.5 in Thursday’s boots for me
Just got a pair myself and they are gorgeous. Winters are pretty rough where I live too so I am curious how well the leather will change in heavy snow.
Got a video coming out very soon where I took these guys out hiking in the snow and strapped some Yaktrax on them too. Loved them, even in the cold for a short hike. Loving these.
@@GentlemansJourney Did the leather hold up on its own against the snow or did you use a certain boot/leather product to protect them?
@@aMoodyHipster You had me thinking so I went and checked them. After I went hiking I noticed that there was a bit of sulfer build up, like little white veins and that came off easy with the wipe of a wet rag. I haven't touched them with conditioner. There is a pinned note (first comment above) from Thursday stating the Rough and Tough leather should not be conditioned.
Thanks.
Appreciate you watching!! Cheers
Great Video! How are the soles holding up? I walk alot in the city and thinking of buying these but scared the sole will not last!
Great question. I'd say they are hold up very well. They have been on several hikes and have often been my go to boots. Can't go wrong mate!
Great video man!
Thanks for watching!!
I wish they have it in black
I imagine they can get that done for ya mate! 🥾🥾
How would these look dressed up a little bit? Not like full business casual, but maybe some chinos and a button down? I like their rugged look but not sure if they could be dressed up beyond jeans
I think they would look good with a olive, dark grey or something for sure!
@@GentlemansJourney awesome, thanks! I think im sold
@@XconnorX11 And for the price, it's great! I think they are giving a free gift with an order right now.
Great review i love these boots, just not sure what size to order. I'm a uk 8 so thinking of ordering an 8 and a half as US sizes are a size bigger. Also what type of red wing boots are those i really like them. Thanks mate
Thanks for watching and best of luck with the size. The Red Wings are the Roughnecks. Here is a video we did on those. ua-cam.com/video/7KGf6KAUWCo/v-deo.html
Is the storm king outsole thicker than the original captain outsole?
There is really no noticeable difference. I love them both but the StormKing fits my life style much more. I took out the Thursday original outsole out on a rocky road and I noticed a bit of the stitching break a bit.
are these heavier than your other pair because of the sole? and how is the walking sound compared to your captains
That is a great question and I wasn't sure so I weighed them. I ship things out for Ebay so I used my scale. The old Captains are worn for 2 years now and they weigh 3lb 7.5oz. The new StormKing Captains weigh 3lb 9.8oz. As you can tell there is virtually no difference.
In terms of the sound, I think the StormKing is a little quieter because the rubber seems to be softer. Hope that helps and check us out on Facebook too at Gentleman's Journey
@@GentlemansJourney oh wow, thanks for the great effort!!!
A big thumbs up!
Means a lot, thanks!
What type of leather is the rugged and resilient leather? It seems to be nubuck but not sure???
I'd say that it is just shy of nubuck. Nubuck is sanded top grail leather to give it a bit of a nap but not as much as suede. The Rugged and Resilient is still closer to smooth skin. Thursday does offer some strictly nubuck leather boots. The rugged and resilient is a very interesting leather, loving mine.
@@GentlemansJourney ohh i see! Yeah it seems like they dont really say what type of leather it is, but for sure theyre amazing. Waiting for them to drop the black matte with the stormking outsole🤞🏼
Great video man! What size are you?? Just curious since Thursday seems to have all sizes usually
I am 12 in regular shoes but I ordered a 11.5 on these and they are perfect!
I enjoy your reviews bro.... Good job
Appreciate the comment bro, these are fun. What boot's are you rocking these days??
@@GentlemansJourney I'm just received my brown captain's and I really like them.... Do you think Kevlar laces will look good on them?
@@ricardocarrasco6482 I use those on my brown captains, I really like it!
How high are the heel of the boots? Nice review!
Not sure that I can give the best answer but at the back of the boot from the midsole it is 1 1/4in tall and toward the front of the heel it is 3/4in tall. Let me know if that helps at all. Cheers!
Aloha, what color is the boot? Mahalos
Aloha Mate! These are Tabacco color. Cheers
please update us on the storm king outsole boot you have. i'm interested in these.
That's a deal, be on the lookout for that video!
The boot you reviewed with the new sole is not available using the (Amazon) link you provided
Appreciate you trying that means a lot. I'll emphasize that in the description. Thanks for watching
Was there any heel space when you first put them on when you downsized?
I would say no, it was snug but not tight or loose. I've been wearing them regularly now and they continue to feel great. I am a 12 in regular shoes and the Captains in 12 give me a bit too much room but my new 11.5's seem to be the right fit for me.
@@GentlemansJourney I just got the black matte captains, can't wait to get another pair.
Ordered these today!! Can't wait for them to get here.
Man that's a great feeling!
I also subbed. I liked all the info provided. My first ever pair of Thursday Boots. I have a feeling I'll be buying more lol
Welcome to the Team :)
@@GentlemansJourney what shoe trees do you use for your captains?
@@Thursdayboots I am eager for them to get here. I haven't been this excited for shoes/boots for a while.
Are Thursday boots waterproof?
No but you could purchase some waterproofing chemicals to add to them. However, if I recommend that then I'll get a ton of pushback online as how it will ruin the leather.... lol
Wish the terracotta had a sole option
No joke, this storm king is legit man. Thanks for watching
What color were your original Thursdays?
I got the Brown, they give off a red color on camera and in person. If I wanted the traditional outsole again I'd go for the Arizona Adobe, Burnt Copper or Terracotta. I like the Rugged and Resilient line so the Terracotta would be my third choice.
Man I hated TBC for the last 3 years but this year I bought a Captain and a Chukka pair 😆. I went true to size in my Chukkas tho. Chukkas always seem to run small on me. Great video my friend I enjoyed it
Hey, I apprirciat you watching. What made you come back or to the brand? I gotta get a pair of Chukkas, what color did you get?
@@GentlemansJourney
Hey, On the chukkas I got the Olive Green suede type ones waiting on their arrival. I came back to them because I understood better what gap they filled in my rotation and TBC filled it in perfectly with aesthetics and price point and quality. However, I NEVER pay retail. Also I didn't understand my sizing and foot dimensions so I always got the wrong size. Once I understood my foot sizing and fit it was a no brainer. TBC are more comfortable than I expected. With never paying retail it's a win! I got The Captain in brown too. Thank you for asking.
are they slip resistant ?
In terms or restaurant capable, no. But they are very grippy!
@@GentlemansJourney I wish they are front of the house restaurant capable 😤
@@ronnykumala I'm wondering if there is a type of bootie you can slip over them or even get a boot maker to resole one with that. I keep heart this request, maybe a business idea!!
Subbed how do you compare them to timberlands ?
Thanks for watching and the sub! I don't own the timberlands but I have tried them on and I would say that the timberlands have a wider toe box and less arch support. That's based on memory but I would say that the midsole Thursday has came up with is hard to beat.
How can I buy this
I have a link to purchase them in the description of the video.
I went down a whole size
I could see that for sure! Thanks for letting us know and appreciate you watching.
If they make this stormking sole in matte black. It’s game over!
Right!!
You need wearing jean straight slim because better look style 😎
Man these pants look great with those boots.... thanks for watching though
What should I get
If I wear uk5 in common projects Achilles now.
I don't want to lead you astray.... I did a google search of conversion charts and was not confident in the results. Best of luck friend and thanks for watching the video! @ThursdayBoots any help here??
They usual recommended not to condition and shine the Rugged and Resilient leather boots... have you actually done it? What happened?
Haven’t conditioned them after seeing that comment from Thursday on this video..still kinda hard to believe but I’ll see how it goes for a while and then decide. Thanks for watching
@@GentlemansJourney Yeah, it’s hard to believe. How do we make them last without care?
@@wyattc.4455 I still struggle thinking the leather will stay supple without conditioner. I am just starting with these ones so I'll keep you all posted with how mine are doing.
I bought a pair in the tobacco color as well on amazon. I dont know why, but the color my pair doesnt look like what is shown online. Instead of looking like the pair shown in this video, it looks more of like a dark brown. Did anyone experience the same issue?
I've seen folks come up with similar things like this. Maybe it varies by season or supply. Still, hard to depend on the color at times.
such a shame iron rangers dont give u a thicker sole but thats why thursday improved on it
Very true!
I just could not do this companies boots. They are good budget boots. I ordered a couple pair when they first started up and did try to like them. They just made my feet sweat and the foot bed did not work for me. I did order another pair a few months ago as their product line had greatly expanded. Gave them to charity after a couple wears. These boots are good for a budget boot and a starting point to see if you like the ankle boot style.
Man that person on the receiving end lucked out!! Thanks for watching the channel.
@@GentlemansJourney I have a pretty healthy collection of boots. Most are Alden, Red Wings, White's, Lucchese and Nick's. I do try out other boots from time-to-time just to check them out. Not on a large scale but most of these usually do not make it into the keepers category. Thursday, Helm, Allen Edmonds and a few others brands did not make the cut. Nothing wrong with the boots I did not keep. Most are decent when factoring in price point, and other criteria. Some boots just did not look good on me as well. Not a boot snob but like anything, you like what you like and you normally get what you pay for. Any clothing I buy regardless of price that does not stay goes to a veterans charity. I could sell them but would rather help other folks in need.
@@williamswiger7547 Sounds awesome man, I like your approach and have much respect!
If you had to run from from a crazy dog full speed in these could you?
Yes!
Great video!
Thanks so much for watching!
I might try the Legend chelsea. Its nice having a slip on.
Yes for sure! Thanks for checking out the channel. What boot's you rocking now?
@@GentlemansJourney just some beat up Cowbot Ariats. Ive never had a "fashion boot" so just bought some thursdays so far love them gonna try some majors next. Great vid btw!
@@thebardock6785 Just posted a pic of my square toe Justin Cowboy boots on Praying with Charles Facebook page and Insta. Thanks
Parkhurst is a American company under 300 it’s makes great boots
Future boot video ideas!! Thanks for watching Ivan!
I had to go a full size down for the loggers, I tried the half and they were too big.
Wow, that almost makes me think I could order a 11 since I'm a 12 and it might work.....
@@GentlemansJourney possibly, because I normally wear a 7.5 in red wings boots, so it was strange to me to go a full size down. I plan on getting a pair of captains and I contacted Thursday through Instagram and asked them if I should go a full size down in the captains as well and they said yes.
@@wolffinn2306 Very Cool!
Is this the tobacco color way?
Never mind I saw where you said it is tobacco thank you
@@blue9300 Thanks for watching! Do you have a pair of Thursday's?
@@GentlemansJourney just bought these exact ones but maybe I should have gone lighter color I don’t know
@@blue9300 For some reason I'm not immediately digging the other color offered in the captains with the StormKing as much as the tobacco color. I think you made a solid decision...
@@GentlemansJourney I agree the tobacco is by far the best color. Although I’d like to wear them with light denim but maybe it’s time to get out of the summer vibes
I tried sizing down and could not get my foot in it.
Wow that's so interesting, are you sending them back and getting the next size up? Would love to stay informed on how that goes for you. Thanks for watching the video friend!
@@GentlemansJourney I now have four pairs of Thursday Boots in my normal 13. I do have a high arch and instep.
@@intrinsicimagery I run up to a 13 in some companies. Still can't wait to get White's boots or Truman Boot Co where I can get custom made. Would love to see how that feels.
Hey...
Thanks for watching!
@@GentlemansJourney 👢👢🥾🥾
Not a bad video, man. I appreciate the time and effort you're putting into them and hope you're able to grow your channel. But you may want to check that link on the Thursday Boot Co "Caring for Your Leather" page that you included in your video because you may be giving people advice that could damage their excellent boots. Scroll to minute marker 7:53 of your video (ua-cam.com/video/xmXL2Hs-bXE/v-deo.html) and you'll see the link in the "Note:" section of the webpage from Thursday's website that you included. Specifically the Note states "Note: If you are looking to clean or treat Grizzly Wheat, Terracotta, or any "Rugged & Resilient" leathers (Arizona Adobe, Tobacco, Black Matte, Canyon, Burnt Copper, Sandstone, and Colorado), click here for instructions. Do not follow the instructions below." It's inadvisable to use a smooth leather conditioner on Thursday's Rugged & Resilient leather. It's not a smooth leather. Thursday doesn't advertise it's tannage but it's likely a nubuck leather that's been weather treated and that means you really need to treat it like suede/nubuck when it comes to cleaning, which means NO smooth leather conditioners, creams, or waxes. Can you use those products? Sure, it's still full grain leather after all. Can it negatively affect the leather? Yes. Is it guaranteed to negatively affect the leather? I'm not going to say that but it will definitely change the texture of the Rugged & Resilient leather over time after repeated applications and can also affect the weather proofing.
You don't need take my word for it, but you could take Trenton & Heath's word for it - ua-cam.com/video/Dw1fb0FxyPE/v-deo.html.
That's all true and I learned that afterwards when Thursday left me a comment. Cheers.

@@GentlemansJourney Frank's Front Range is my go to. The arch support is a life saver because I am on my feet all day.
Packaging...really, who gives a s#^t! Red Wing reins supreme, way better.
We got nothing but love for Red Wing! Thanks for watching.
Should've got Redwing Heritage.
Got a pair of Red Wing Roughnecks and going to do the Iron Rangers soon, appreciate you watching!
@@GentlemansJourney nice!
very unpleasant clipping in the audio
Thanks for watching John
@@GentlemansJourney I enjoy watching these videos to relax and give my mind something recreational for a bit. I admit I haven't watched newer videos where the audio might have improved. I'm currently working from home and have a construction site right in front of my door, so apologies for being worn down by the noise.
It's definitely annoying and can kill an otherwise good video. We had some new equipment that we regretfully didn't tune in good enough before putting this video out. Getting a better handle on it and hope that will show in our next video. Cheers!
