I would love more reviews of boots and shoes from an actual cobbler! This has been enlightening

[@TrentonHeath]

Plenty more to come. We’ve done a handful so far, so check them out if you haven’t had a chance.

[@TrentonHeath]

TheNomdeguerre I own both and have really enjoyed both of them.

[@gabrielfelixmunoz739]

yea do danner

[@Baxxter101]

Seriously. This is exactly what I wanted to see. I'm sick of cheap boots literally falling apart after 5-6 months.

[@blakedavis2447]

Not a cobbler but rose anvil is a leather worker

[@tofan2622]

This is great, this is exactly what we need more of. I made a comment in the other video, and this step by step in depth review is amazing. Thank you.

[@allenharder]

Love these literal broken down reviews of these shoes, very honest and intriguing videos

[@bye92]

I've been seeing the ads on KZbin videos for months now! So I searched these boots on KZbin and I'm happy to see that you're reviewing them!!

[@xaviermcquiston1604]

This is great! Not only is he very informative, but the fact that an actual cobbler bought the boots for himself is a good testament.

[@ADMG]

Found your channel a few days ago, now I can’t stop watching your videos. Real quality and honesty in your content. I came for the ASMR but stayed for the knowledge you guys deliver with such passion. Thank you.

[@TrentonHeath]

Our pleasure!!

[@Kingfisher1215]

Great review guys. Great to see a budget priced boot that is actually well made. No wonder they are so popular. And love the background music. I really enjoy the jazz in the background, just loud enough to add to the atmosphere.

[@My_Alchemical_Romance]

I’m just now considering buying a pair, I’ve seen your channel many times, always love them. Y’all have earned my sub, and you were the number one video I clicked on when I searched for this, I wouldn’t trust anyone else more! Keep up the great work. And thank you. Love from Kansas City!

[@epknight7833]

Wow wasn’t expecting a whole tear down. Thanks for the video

[@ArmyGreensTanBoots]

You know, it would be cool to find out later down the line that you guys are teaming up with Thursday to offer resoling services. You all look like you do awesome work.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks, Jose!

[@shinyandnotpanicking]

Otie Jason It’s less wasteful to maintain a pair of good shoes than throw a whole pair away

[@aaronwong1977]

@Otie Jason I can't say for sure about the Thursday boots because I don't have them, but some leathers definitely get better with age and wear. You might like your old, broken in and worn boots better than new ones. It's certainly the case for me with some of the bags/briefcases I have.

[@imprice5668]

They are now a cobbler for Thursday!

[@jamieporter4795]

I have a pair of the Captain's , Natural color. Been wearing them for almost 2 years and I love them. They have held up well, and seem to be getting better, and better the more I wear them. Love the videos , keep up the good work.

To be fair, if anyone could put it back together...

[@tomm7301]

Your review was super helpful. I’ve wanted a new pair of boots, but I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for them. Your video as made my decision easier. Thank you!

[@Verbal27]

Have to say, it's one of my favorite pair of shoes. They still look good and feel comfortable (with insoles(recommended)). I definitely will be buying a new pair.

[@warbirdwf]

Love this channel. This has to be a beneficial business move for Thursday's. Brand recognition/marketing. I wasn't aware of this company. After some research, I just ordered a pair. Hopefully the brothers were compensated in some way. :)

[@DocRoc94]

If I recall correctly, I do believe that I've had a pair of work boots before that had Kevlar laces, the idea was to prevent them from burning. They definitely worked great while I was working as a welder!

[@Scarywoody]

This was a great review. I was on the fence about Thursday but now I know it's worth the money.

[@Thursdayboots]

Looking forward to having you a part of the Team :) ! Best, Kendra from Thursday

[@SilverRiMiX]

@@Thursdayboots You're the only YT sponsor I've ever bought from, and I'm so glad I did. I have the Captains in brown and the Chelsea Cavalier Suedes in shadow grey, and I love them. I appreciate what you do, bringing such a high priced item to a lower market and making them with such quality.

[@JohnSmith-li6mn]

@@SilverRiMiX I've had 4 pairs for over 4 years now and they're all holding the test of time and i did flooring along with construction for 2 of the years

[@JohnSmith-li6mn]

@Mafioso 1963 I own their old style combat/hiking boots a pair of the scouts 2 pairs of Chelsea boots , a pair of the blue suede boots along with the captains and i think the vanguard but I cannot be too sure and a pair of the commanders

[@JohnSmith-li6mn]

@Mafioso 1963 genuinely the "wear" and tear aspect is pretty true if you get more of the rougher style you won't exactly have to worry about cleaning them too much but if you go with their suede then I'd still avoid the rain though they are good in the rain as well. If you look at the specific bottom of each shoe you'll be able to tell the differences in texture along with what they're more able to do, you won't wear a flat Chelsea boot hiking but if the chelsea boot has grips for the outdoors and is properly coated i see no issue.

[@dk302948]

Thank you for your Thursday boot review! Can’t wait to get a pair!!

[@defblo2000]

Thank you for showing us. Bought a pair of their Diplomats last month, comfy right out of the box. One KZbinr on his review mentioned his Thursday boots had cork in the sole. Goes to show you.

[@doyouhaveanymegadeth1672]

Bless you fine gentlemen for this content! about to buy my first pair of boots and its cool learning so much!

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

More companies should let you and other cobblers on youtube do this. My hats off to Thursday Boots for letting you do this and not hiding anything.

[@geoffjohnston1531]

That's a question I had on my mind. Great review, thanks.

[@DavidSaintloth]

A perfectly timely video given I just took order of my first two pair of Thursday boots on Saturday! I wore the first pair out last night and it felt great ...there was a little bit of rubbing above the top of my right toe but that's the darn bunions fault! Outside of that the quality of the boot (externally) looks really solid but this break down totally shows just how well built they are. Thanks I'm looking forward to putting these guys through a NYC Fall and Winter to see how they keep up...but I don't intend to use them as "beater boots" as they do look good. Oh I got the Scout Chukka's which pretty much have the same sole construction as what the Captains have I'd imagine.

[@Thursdayboots]

Welcome to Team Thursday! The Scout is a great first pick. Enjoy your boots this winter :)

[@helloken]

I'd like to point out that some Thursday Captains have that "DuraEVA" comfort strip shown here, while others have a leather midsole, depending on the style and leather choice. Best to ask Thursday which ones have which construction if that matters to you, but Thursday has stated at least the rugged and resilient line "should have" a leather midsole. I presume a lot (but not all!) of the classic leathers have the "DuraEVA" shown in this video. The black foam "poron like" layer under the outsole.

[@conniepleasantnails]

Wow, what a great buy with that much workmanship…I love the color of your personal ones. Helpful information I really can’t get over the price it seems like a steal. 💕🥾

[@garyhietala]

Super Excited as I just purchased my first pair of " quality " boots. Went with the Thursday Captains as price point is great! Thanks for the explanation as to what makes a quality boot!!

[@ko300zx]

Great video! It would be awesome to see a video on cleaning and protecting their "Rugged & Resilient" leather lineup (the pair you're holding at the end). Specific products, techniques, etc. They sell cleaners on their site but they note they may discolor those particular leathers and recommend professional cleaning. I like to learn and do things on my own though, which I'm sure is why many of us ended up on your channel!

[@rushedandlost]

Good Review.I I see Thursday Boots as a casual boot. I wear boots most the time and have heavy duty boots for work , mototcycle riding ,hiking etc, etc. I will look to buy from Thursday boot for after work ,casual Saturday cruising around , or a night out. Good style , now I see good in build. Thanks for the video.

[@TrentonHeath]

rushedandlost Thanks! Yeah, they’re definitely more of a casual wear boot. Not something we would recommend for heavy duty work.

i just bought a pair last week, i cant wait for them to come in now this review excited me :D

[@NOLAfugee]

I just bought some Midnight Suede Captains. One flaw I found was that the stitches on the sole aren't recessed. I guess I'll need to head to a cobbler for a resole a little bit faster once the threads start wearing through. Otherwise, they're well made and comfortable.

[@jorge10928]

I recently started learning about boot construction and I looked at the boots I already owned and realized they're all mostly crap lol. Watching videos like this helps me get the best bang for my buck. Thanks!

[@whitemakesright2177]

Another channel which has been doing this recently is Rose Anvil. He's a leatherworker, not a cobbler, so he comes at it from a slightly different angle, but he cuts the boots in half to show the cross-section. He's done belts and wallets as well.

Honestly, they’re from all over...Gap, JCrew, Ralph Lauren..., but I also buy slim fit or custom fit shirts so that they have more of a tailored look.

I'd love to see a review on the Danner Bull Run moc toe work boots. Loved my Danners while I was in the Marine Corps and was wondering if the build quality is still the same

[@GabeMacDonnell]

Suplex Cotton that'd be great. FWIW, my Danner work boots are awesome, & my job is rough on boots. I find my Thorogood's a little more comfortable, but ymmv. Thorogood, Danner, Carolina & now again Georgia, make excellent US work boots w/ goodyear welts. Haven't had good luck w/ Chippewa & Redwing isn't what it used to be.

[@GabeMacDonnell]

Suplex Cotton Stridewise doesn't review work boots, but has reviewed the soft toe Danners & Thorogoods. His reference is style, but is knowledgeable about quality & rates both high on value.

From what I understand the main advantage of kevlar is that they are heat resistant.

[@CrimFerret]

These look really good for the money. I'll be in a position to buy a decent pair of boots soon though the budget isn't unlimited. Paying $200-$300 for a well made pair of boots that I can then have re-soled when needed seems like a better value than getting cheap ones that are disposable and need replacing every 6 months. Are there any other work boots in that range (as opposed to dress boots)

[@kolinmartz]

Kevlar laces is used in a lot of high end safety boots and I see it used a lot in firefighting boots especially woodland fire boots as an alternative to leather laces.

Very pleased with my brown captains. Follow the advice on sizing and size down, I ordered 'wide' as I'm usually an E in Allen Edmonds, but definitely would have been better with standard. And length/size is 1/2 size smaller than most of my shoes as well. Overall good construction and good customer service. Received compliments wearing from the staff in the Allen Edmonds store, actually. Also - thank you for the great videos and reviews, I've learned a lot and look forward to supporting P&S directly with future purchases... much appreciated!

I just got a pair of AE shoes and for someone with foot pain and back problems they have been the most comfortable thing I have tried on and I wear them all the time. I can't hike in them or use them for work. What are the options for a cork footbed? I am considering Thursday, but since they layer synthetic materials I am afraid in months that will just break down and not provide the support I need. I would have to have a cobbler replace all that with cork before the soles even wear out.

[@Orlanzepol123]

So many positive comments on the Thursday boots 🥾 makes one wonder if they are all being honest and giving an unbiased opinion. I just ordered a pair of Captain boots after over a year of contemplating . I also purchased ankle boots from the 1000 mile collection in order to compare quality. I will keep one UNLESS they’re both phenomenal.

[@TrentonHeath]

꧁ Orlando Cruz ꧂ I own both Thursday’s and 1000 Miles. I wear both to work everyday in the fall/winter months and am obviously on my feet all day. Both boots have worn well. I’m not someone that treks hundreds of miles a year walking in them, so I can’t say how they would both hold up under those situations; however, both are constructed well. That’s just my opinion.

[@CaliTom81]

Hello from Auburn, AL, and thanks for great & informative videos. What do you think about these Thursday Captain boots vs. a similar offering from Allen Edmonds, such as the Alpine Cap-Toe? I have worn Allen Edmond's throughout my entire career and my first pair still looks great, albeit in need of a resole, but the Thursday's really caught my eye with both their style and everyone's comment's on their quality.

I pulled the trigger on a Thursday Wingtips color #77.. while watching this vid... tq so much guys.

[@UTubeandChill]

This was a pretty good review with nice insight into the boots. The Captains look great and Thursday Boots makes fantastic boots. I would have appreciated the video more though if he had stopped moving around so much while talking and held the boots still so that the camera would have time to focus on the boots and we could get a cleaner view of them. The only times I could really look at the boots were when they were on the cobbler stand or sitting on a table. While holding the boots, he kept waving his hands in front of them or moving the boots around and dropping them below the field of view. Those aside, I liked the video. Thanks for offering it.

[@ats17]

Hi! Thank you for making great reviews that are very helpful for us before we purchase. May I ask if I really have to half size down for these Thursday Captain or the President model boots? Can you compare the sizing with Beckett Simonon dress shoes? I ordered a size 10.5 with my dress shoes with Beckett Simonon which is my sneaker and true to size. Appreciate your advise.

[@fredygump5578]

Thanks for "taking it apart" with respect for the boot. Another channel claimed they were taking a boot apart, and he just took a knife to the upper and sliced it up! I was a bit horrified!

[@heathspears8881]

Been wearing my captains and tobacco storm kings over two years and still going strong not an issue

[@fightormon]

Can you do a video on resoling them. I heard they feel a bit more on the harder side after resoling.

[@TheNextMarx]

I had a problem with the stitches in the sole. They fiber started to wear and 1.5years later the sole can be pulled off because the stitches came off. Never had that problem with my YSLs

[@ericr78]

I just ordered a pair of captains in terracotta. Should I condition the leather when I get them or no? Thursday’s website says to just wipe them down with a damp rag and do not recommend applying any cleaning or protective products. I’ve heard you say in another video that some boots could be sitting for a long period of time and the leather can get dry so I’d like to hear your thoughts on what I should do. Thanks and love watching your videos!

[@butchcoolidge3261]

If you know, how comparable is the fit of the captain to the iron Rangers? I have a pair of amber harness in 11 1/2 D. I was fitted for them, and didn’t need the wider width. They are broken in, and very comfortable. Thursday looks almost like the same boots, but are about $130.00 cheaper. Also curious what you think of the thicker sole option they offer. Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful video.

[@germantrujillo7495]

Thank you so much for the breakdown. Although they’re obviously not the best of the best, they do seem to represent great value. If I may ask one question: What do you use to condition your pair of captains? They seem to be one’s with their rugged leather uppers and in their website they state that no conditioning is needed for that kind of leather (which is hard to believe). I believe the Tobacco, Arizona, and Terracota colors are the ones that use that kind of rugged leather instead of their ThursdayChrome leather.

[@TrentonHeath]

German Trujillo Yep, mine are the rugged ones as well. They may say that, but most leathers need some sort of conditioning and care or else they dry out and crack. I use Saphir Renovateur spray on mine. It’s made for suedes and other leathers that can’t take conditioners directly without ruining the finish, and it also has a waterproofer in it, since we can’t use wax. potterandsons.com/collections/merchandise/products/saphir-suede-renovateur

@@quktic Danners are some of the toughest and most comfortable boots I've ever owned. I put mine through the ringer in the Marines and they held up to the task well

Nice video - would also like to see you cut the toe in half. I realize this would ruin the boot but It would let us know what material is used to structure the toe. I had a pair that was hit by the corner of a door and the toe ripped. I was surprised at how thin the leather was and it looked like cardboard was underneath.

Hi Trenton! Thanks for the review. You mentioned you had a pair of Thursday boots. Have you experienced the so called “Thursday drop” that some people have mentioned?

What's the "Thursday drop"?
