My Thursday Boot Captains Get a Makeover

[@Larry-qz3es]

Saturday Morning, coffee, and watching Trenton & Heath resoling a pair of Thursday's Boots. A good way to start your day.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank, Larry. Have a good one!

Agreed

This episode made me laugh. I was watching and my wife came in and asked what I was watching. I explained and she said watching shoes get fixed sounded boring and silly. Then she saw the guys and finished the show with me. Looks like you two just replaced the property brothers as her new favorite brothers. She has watched them for years despite hating remodeling, now we can watch shoe videos even if she thinks it is silly. Lol.

[@TrentonHeath]

Hahaha! Well, we’ll take that as a honor!

[@jg8263]

@@TrentonHeath indeed it is! She thought the property brothers were the best thing since sliced bread. Looks like you two should try for a TV deal and capture a broader audience.

For the record Trent, you DID mention in the previous rugged and resilient care video that the spray comes in different colors. You had your bases covered my friend. :) As always, great work and a pleasure to watch you both perform your craft!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much!

[@arneldobumatay3702]

Also, if a product comes in different colors and sizes (22oz/32oz) they'll request what size and color do you want when ordering. Or possible the purchaser thought that clear was only available.

[@alexandermunro3792]

So these guys didn't even bother to watch there own video back, to check the color thing out. Come on!?

[@Rhaspun]

When ordering that product. I'm sure the option of picking a color was given.

[@stevenkent1979]

I always find ironing in the fresh cork very satisfying to watch.

[@matthewotto8322]

The brown/black/brown/black stack on the heal looks really cool, and the yellow stitching really looks good. I couldn't own these; I'd waste to much time staring at the bottom of my feet.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much!

I have a few pairs of Thursday and absolutely love the quality and how well Thursday takes care of customers.

[@Lmolina90]

My first GYW shoes were a pair off Captains that my parents got for me as a gift after I got my first office job. A few years ago I had them resoled with this same Vibram 430 for the same reasons. I think the 430 goes well with a lot of different footwear.

[@NormanF62]

You could resole the Hero with the Vibram Montagna if you like something beefy for an outdoor boot but they’re overkill on a dress boot like the Captain.

[@steveeab2364]

The Vibrum Mini Lug looks good with that boot and the stitching color turned out well.

I did the same thing to my Thursday boots years ago from stock to German leather soles and glued on vibram non slip rubber soles they are a solid combo going 4 years strong

Hey guys! Beautiful job. It’s nice that one of you will finally get to experience the fruit of your labor! You’ll get to experience the pleasure the rest of us get from your work. Love the fact that you kept the leather strip, Trent. Looks great. And I literally laughed out loud when you said, (my paraphrase) “if you can’t read the fact that this product comes in colors, I can’t help you!” Hilarious. Have a nice weekend.

The best part of knowing how to do stuff is being able to customize things to your needs, whether it is more traction on your boots, or a hammer handle a different length, or a shirt that is longer or shorter, or a knife whose handle just suits your hand.

[@bradleythomas5445]

I love your channel…learned so much about the proper care of my leather shoes and boots. I want to share my experience with Thursday Boots, as I posted a critical review on Thursday Boots’ website, and it has not yet been published. I purchased a pair of Captains (size 15) from Thursday’s website on April 28th of 2022. When I applied Saphir Renovateur to the boots, I found a gouge in the right leather heel block, and a gouge in the right tongue from a sharp edge on one of the speed hooks. I also noticed the box was beat up and covered in dust. It was also black in color. I was not happy to say the least. I sent pics to Thursday Boots and was answered quickly by “Jeff” from customer service. He asked for pics of the soles, lot number, and inspection card. After receiving the additional pics, Jeff emailed a return shipping label and set up an exchange. I received the replacement boots and noticed the outer box was silver, not black like the first pair. The lot number on the inside of the new boots is now on the side of the inner boot liner and not on the tongue, like the first pair. I suspect the first pair had been on a warehouse shelf for some time, as a size 15 shoe is an unusual size. I’m very pleased with the customer service I received from Jeff. I’m disappointed that the first pair of Captains were shipped with damage. Like I said, I’m sharing this because Thursday Boots hasn’t posted my review, and I’ve seen several positive reviews that were made after I gave my review. I give two thumbs up to Jeff for all of his help. I’m just disappointed that I was initially shipped old stock boots that were damaged. I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks! In a follow-up: received the replacement pair of Captains. The tongue on the right boot is misaligned. It falls to the right and just rolls off of my foot. I’ve requested a full refund from Thursday Boots…waiting to hear back. So disappointed! Update: Returned the second pair of defective boots and requested a refund. I won’t be a Thursday Boots customer in the future.

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice. Now, since you brought it up. I'm one of those guys that didn't know the Saphir spray conditioner came in colors. The first can I bought/used was neutral. I missed the color option when I bought the second can. Sadly, I now have a brand-spanking-new pair of desert tan suede work boots which has a misting of BLACK on part of one boot. Haven't even worn these boots yet. To date, I have not found a desert tan dye suitable for suede, but did find a "beige" from Angelus. So, my question is, what do you guys suggest as an approach? Some acetone and a suede brush to begin with? I stopped immediately upon seeing black, and did not apply anything else to these new boots (waterproofing spray). Not mad at anyone. Of course, the OLD work boots weren't the ones this happened to, it was the new ones.

Your video on taking care of the rugged Thursdayboots is exactly what I follow. I think you did mention the different colors, that's why I made sure I chose the right color prior to ordering. BTW, I don't see that Vibram sole on the website. I see the Montagna, which looks similar but not exactly the same.

Great channel! I on the otherhand, based on watching you'all, have decided to do only all my own shoe repair.
