While in Mexico on a press junket for Lefarc Tannery, I was invited to check out the local headquarters for Thursday Boot Company, who make most of their boots in León. I already made a video on how the boots are made, but what comes first - how are they designed?

Thanks so much for stopping by🙌

[@NOLAfugee]

Why did my bride-to-be's Rebels have obvious quality control issues?

[@bidhrohi12]

Here's some customer feedback: make your sneakers in wide sizes! The minimalist sneaker style is here to stay, and none of your competitors produce wide versions. You'd pretty much be the only name in the business with wide options. That aside, I own several of your boots, and you guys are fantastic. Keep doing what you do.

Ordered mine 3 days ago and arrived today.i wasn’t expecting them for a week or more.fit and finish exceptional.comfortable right out of the box.couldn’t be more pleased

[@RICK-te3qh]

Just got my Arizona Cpt’s today.. impressed by flawless stitch/fit/finish on the boots. Shockingly comfortable out of the box.. Thanks guys - loving my purchase choice thus far.

[@sbentsen2714]

My captains in brown are now broken in and I LOVE THEM, just got the cobbler's choice leather cleaner and conditioner kit with the brush, clean these boys up And these boots are looking beautiful 🔥 so glad i went with Thursday 💯

[@Jebro439]

Loved how you get the inside scoop on these companies

[@Stridewise]

Thanks man!

[@darrenhall7454]

Great video as always. Next time you’re here in England please do a few factory videos like this at Tricker’s, Loake or any of the big English shoe manufacturers. 😁👍

[@Stridewise]

I had a Tricker's tour booked but covid shut it down! Next time :)

[@rvacio84]

I love there boots just wish they would come out with more of a variety for the Chelsea boot. Like different colors and maybe even the resilient leather.

[@sanguinemoon9201]

I'd love a burgundy or oxblood chelsea by Thursday

[@cyzr101]

Whoaa those black ones!! I would’ve asked them when those are coming out!!

[@crucify40]

I finally pulled the trigger and have my very first Thursday's coming on Saturday. It's the Captain in R&R Arizona Adobe leather. I'm still a bit unclear if I should condition them or not?

[@tommysmith7031]

I enjoyed the video. I would be interested to know how much post production went into the video. Editing was really good, flowed like a real documentary.

[@Stridewise]

Oh thanks! I outsource editing and this video is the first time I had to go through two different editors to get a good result, it was probably the most challenging with sequencing, it took forever!

[@zeroman155]

Viva Mexico! 🇲🇽

[@-----REDACTED-----]

Changeable insole would be awesome since some people need orthotics…

[@ZubairKhan-wo1jy]

Good video. Getting to know what goes into making our 👞. cheers.

[@Stridewise]

stoked you liked it Zubair!

[@robertsparks7244]

I'm looking at them just confused about sizes. I've heard alot of different things about sizing.

[@scalyscallion]

Quality content as per usual!

[@1979augistine]

Excellent new video on a Sunday afternoon what could be better.... maybe new boots that's about it !

[@Stridewise]

I love you man

[@gabrielnunez5168]

I will like to know the name of the boots at the end scene where the ceo is talking. He had four black ones i front of him. The two on the far left got my interest. Like a combat style boot.

[@asankasolomons3700]

Dear sir , Please make Dark Olive and Oxblood leather dress boots for us . Good luck !!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sennadesillva]

Their boots are f*&%$ing amazing! I bought my first pair back in October of 2018. I have epilepsy and can't drive, so I ride a bike everywhere. I work at a bicycle shop during the day and a restaurant at night. Needless to say, lubricants, oils, food, etc, get spilled on them constantly and I'm always on my feet. I still wear that pair most days and the sole is definitely going to wear out before the leather does.

[@asankasolomons3700]

Great job sir !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@frankb5693]

Really interesting video, thanks Nick!

[@Stridewise]

Glad you liked it Frank!

[@aradoran]

Please make a combination last or anatomical last. The toes of your boots are too narrow for medium weight boots when following the 1/2 size down rule of thumb.

[@usmnt4423]

Great video, I need to get a pair

[@Cotivity]

Very cool to see how my Cap'ns were built...

[@wallyg77]

Bro tell Nolan to put more cushion at the heel 😅

[@Stridewise]

Haha will do

[@wallyg77]

[@Abbale]

Is there an all round boot, hike, sort of dress up, travel?

[@Stridewise]

hike AND dress up? Mmmmm. I mean it won't be the world's best hiking boot but for a boot that's both outdoorsy and dress up the best I can think of is a luggy sole one like: thursdayboots.com/products/mens-captain-lace-up-boot-whiskey

[@jakobdieckmann]

Nice video 👍🏻

[@annathiessen3875]

There is very little information about women's ankle boots and Oxfords and I heard about the Bed STU brand. Does anyone have more information

[@WD.909]

Really wish they would offer grey suede cap toe boots. They have grey suede in their chelsea boots, but am looking for the cap toe modal

[@Stridewise]

Ooooh yeah. Love that look, I have Taft Dragons like that

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

I'd love if Thursday had more CHONKY styles. Pointy-toe is great for style or fashion, but I'd rather have something a bit more robust in appearance.

[@FrownyMascot]

Sick beats yo

[@davidmun1601]

I think I will go get myself a pair

[@TheGunDude]

I love Thursday boots. I have 7-8 pair and have bought a pair for both my brothers and my dad and they love them as well. I would love to see a captain in tobacco with the matching eyelets and flat laces. I don’t like the nickel eyelets 99% of the time.

[@paul_domici]

They need to make a green boot and a wine red boot!!!

[@Stridewise]

They have a green one called Olive, though it's not always out. I can def see a red one doing well!

[@paul_domici]

@@Stridewise A green in smooth leather would look awesome!

[@lucasbludeamon8325]

What I would like to see is moc-toe as wolverine 1940 type that was mentioned in GQ mag few years back. Not moc-toe like the red wing. I have wolverine moc toe 1940 in tan Dublin. They have another color on the site that I’m seeking to get, they called it path less traveled in cobblestone color.

[@aradoran]

You don’t like the diplomat? Or would you prefer a different leather or sole?

[@lucasbludeamon8325]

@@aradoran I like diplomat bc it’s thinner than the famous red wing moc-toe. But I haven’t gotten myself a pair of Thursday boots yet. Once I start ordering for them, I’m gonna start with cap-toe only for now, due to several beautiful colors, I want to get most of them (if I can, lol). If Thursday ever do another design, I would like to see them as wolverine 1940…if they can do it. The diplomat did not grab my attention which cap toe did. There’s a beautiful moc toe lux with wedge sole in arabica on the wolverine site though.

[@stevevv583]

Any chance they will make a whole cut Chelsea?

[@Stridewise]

Probably not at this price point

[@Thetrue70]

Mass production the prices need to goes down.

[@Stridewise]

zero reasonable people could expect their boots to be cheaper

[@centenoj85]

Thursday boots quality and consistency

[@damian7363]

Keeping it real with the windows xp

[@Stridewise]

top of the line

[@davidcallan7844]

Cool that lasts are still handmade, I’d have thought they’d all be 3D printed by now.😎👍👞 I like Thursday boots, definitely city boots though.

[@thebestofeverything369]

Cool!

[@huntersvt]

I see they make a combat / Dr Marten style women's boot. Would love to see Thursday make a version of that in men's sizes.

[@muhammadaliclay8976]

imo dr.marten is selling only on its historical reputation... otherwise it is a substandard boot..which shouldnt sell for more than `100$

[@huntersvt]

@@muhammadaliclay8976 I'm not referring to the cheap construction of the Dr Martens, just the overall combat boot styling.

[@rpow6861]

boots with laces AND a zip should be made illegal

[@NOLAfugee]

I ordered a pair of Captains and Rebels for my upcoming wedding. The Rebels have so many quality control issues that I returned both. If I had seen them look like that in a retail store, I would have walked out.

[@herbertsmagon5777]

rogue boot sucks. the buckle straps wear out, fray, and break.

[@UTubeandChill]

The amount of shilling this channel does for thursday boots is just astonishing. I legit feel bad for people who get taken in by the marketing.

[@Stridewise]

in the last month i've filmed videos at the headquarters of two competitors (Carmina and Adelante), I've also worked with Filson and Naked & Famous, I work with all the brands!

[@NOLAfugee]

@@Stridewise like how tv channels will run ads for both Coke and Pepsi. Doesn't mean they're worth your endorsement.

[@Stridewise]

@@NOLAfugee this analogy only works if i'm both getting paid and don't care who does it, neither of which are true

[@NOLAfugee]

@@Stridewise not everyone deserves your free advertising. Thursday Boots quality has dropped. They offered me $50 off, but I took the full refund for a return instead.

Thursday Boots are designed by accountants and profits. Nothing more.
