I have bought 3 pairs of Thursday's, 2 pairs of Red Wings and 1 pair of Wolverine 1000 miles. The Wolverine's are my favorite so far because of the fit. Everyone wants to overanalyze the materials or even price but at the end of the day... or I should say at the start of the day, you're going to reach for the pair that's comfortable.

Missed the mark on dress boot vs casual. For many of us, we only have one occasion for dress boots while alive. Weddings. And if we’re the groom, we more than likely aren’t wearing boots, and if we are it’s because it’s the best we got. That being said, the color 8 pics look awesome.

I have both boots as well. While Chromexcel has the potential to be a better leather than Thursday chrome, it also has the potential to be a mess of loose grain. Luckily my Color 8 1Ks don’t suffer from this, but I’ve seen many boots that do (at all price points). Thursdays seem to be pretty consistent with their grain. I agree that the Thursdays are a better buy.

I like my Brown Thursday Captain, still not broken in yet, right heel blistered after a couple of miles of walking. They are a btch to break in, wore them at least 6 times, they also have the strongest leather smell of any boots I have ever had in my life. My car smells like a leather factory when I got the floor vent heat on. I don’t mind the smell but dang it’s strong.
@Thursdayboots
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing this feedback- It can take a few wears to break in. We recommend going slow and wearing them a few hours a day so your foot gets used to the boot and slowly allows for the leather to break in. We love that leather smell but it can sometimes be strong initially but the leather smell will dissipate after more wears. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly at teamthursday@thursdayboots.com if you have any questions or concerns! Best, Kendra from Thursday

@@Thursdayboots ... I know once broken in it’ll last me a very long time, I just need to be a bit patient, and it’s harder to break in a pair during the winter months as the cold prevents the leather to stretch and mold easily. I don’t think there’s another company that has better boots for the price. I’m probably gonna miss the smell of the leather if it fades, lol. Also, I like to say I went to buy the Captains at the 48 W 21st location in Manhattan and the staff was very professional especially during the height of Covid.

I think leather soles and underrated, my Thursday captains sole chipped off the tip of the sole after about a month of wear. They did come forward, send me a new pair and told me to keep them both (their customer service is top notch) but still, I know of other people that have had the exact same issue. Also I believe the Eva midsole is great for comfort and when it flattens out, cause it does, you can easily replace it; that said, they should do an all leather insole cause replacing that poron insole is a whole new level of repair.

Nice review, 2 things I’d like to callout/suggest. 1 get a resole or heel replacement on your Thursday before the eat into the stacked leather, a video on knowing more about when to do either option and what to look for in a cobbler would be cool. 2, this will only impact the short term but wanted to call it out anyway... the timing of this video is off, having just released the top 5 boots and Thursday makes the cut vs Wolverine there’s a clear winner and not a need to really watch this. Over time this feedback will be irrelevant, but wanted to share to keep the existing audience watching.

I think the boot's heritage and history should also be a factor. When you buy a 1000 mile, or an Iron Ranger, or an Alden Indy, you're getting history and heritage with those boots that you just can't get with Thursday. On another note, I'd like to see a boot channel resole their Thursday Captain's, review it, then wear them for a year or so and review it again. I'm curious how well a Thursday boot's synthetic midsole, insole, and welt hold up after a resole and subsequent wear. I don't think I've seen anyone on youtube do that.
