The cobbler gods have spoken. So it looks like buying Thursdays a few months back was a good choice after all. You guys somehow manage to make the videos educational and really useful without even trying. That takes class and some innate skill. Thanks guys.
If you can, please report back how the leather holds up after a year or so. That is the real question most people have. In YT vids after a year the boots age horribly but the reviewers always say they never cared or cleaned the leather. Thanks
@@crobinso2010 Can't go by me. I wear ten different pairs of shoe/boots during the week so I don't give them the sort of wear guys who wear them everyday/every other day might. The video today just confirmed what I thought all along ... they were the right purchase for me.
We really appreciate that!! We’re glad to know you guys are enjoying the content and that we’re helping out some.
@@crobinso2010 Yeah, I want to get the new version of these that just released but I would probably wear them every day and I wonder how they’d hold up.
Would love to see a video on how to tell of a cobbler is good
LifeCoach44 very funny 😄
LifeCoach44 I was thinking how we know he isn’t lying? It’s sad to think think this way but you just don’t know nowadays. I guess the only way to know if they’re any good is try a pair ourselves.
😆😆
This channel has really open my eyes to the world of shoes thank you for this channel
Glad to hear it, Johnra!
This is awesome. I was kinda weary on Thursday just because most of the reviews on them are from influencers ( which are usually sponsored) so seeing them opened up and having an unbiased cobblers review is amazing. Keep them coming im hooked!
Joe Antony Ortiz Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Joe Antony Ortiz I agree. Which is why I haven’t purchased a pair yet. So if this guy is legit in his review I think I will make that investment. It will be the most expensive shoe I’ve ever owned. I think I’m going for the Captoe Cadet. at $190 in Black leather
꧁ Orlando Cruz ꧂ I actually just received my pair of dark brown scouts today. They look and feel great and are really comfortable right out of the box. Excited to see how they wear. Definitely listen to Thursdays recommendation to size down half a size. I did and the fit is on point.
@@Orlanzepol123 most expensive shoe you ever owned? Good for you man. Coming from a sneaker head that's good you aren't wasting money like that
Thank you for this. I bought a pair of Thursday Chairman shoes (also cap-toe Oxfords very similar to the Executives) several weeks ago. The quality seems to be very good, but I’m really happy to see my amateur opinion confirmed. I want a pair of dress boots and was considering getting a more expensive brand, but maybe I’ll save some money and stay with Thursday. Thanks again.
Have 5 pairs of their shoes and boots. My wife has 2. Really nice, especially for the money. Well worth the $200 range. Fantastic customer service from my experience.
Huge props to the viewer that donated the shoes. He truly wants guys to know what they’re stepping into. I think the sub $300 shoe companies are doing a lot of things right in order to get guys into better quality shoes than they will find at Payless, DSW, ASOS, Zara, Banana Republic, etc…, But would absolutely be opposed to quality shoes in the $300-$500. I would rank Meermin for shoes and boots for tailored outfits, Spier & Mackay for smart casual-business, Thursday Boots for casual or basic mailroom requirements, and Beckett Simonon for entry blake, fair weather. Meermin has some nice lasts while the rest of the brands won’t turn any heads but get the job done. That’s where a large percentage of guys comfort zone will be.
You know....you can't trust most reviews due to the influence of money/sponsors, and 'influencers' don't know jack about anything, so I don't care what they say. You guys are a treasure, providing unbiased technical review from the standpoint of a hands-on expert, speaking directly to construction and specifications, and I have greatly appreciated the ability to focus my spend on quality and value in a market where everyone claims to be the best. Thanks guys, very much
How does a person know if a reviewer is a influencer or not?
As far as I know these guys legit repair shoes if you check google.
An influencer typically promotes a product in a field they're not part of.
Thanks for the review. Very informative. Keep them coming.
Excellent review thank you so much now I’m looking forward to your Thursday boot review.
Okay...that was a very clear and concise review. Kinda changed my mind from what I was first thinking. I really appreciate it!! Thank you.
This is exactly the kind of video I’ve been looking for regarding Thursday. I just ordered some Broadways in black!
Much appreciation for the review of these shoes. Currently, I have a pair of Tobacco Stateman's shoes, talk about comfort and style.
Great video - more like this will help the consumer make good choices when buying shoes and boots. I am currently trying to decide between Crown Northampton and Taft for a white minimalist sneaker and am struggling to find any content on either other than one video that the Kavalier did a while back
Thanks for the content you post, it is really helpful
I have a pair of Captains. I love them and they frequently garner compliments. My problem with the Executives is how chunky the sole looks. Almost like it's too big for the upper. I would already own a pair of Executives if they had a sleeker design.
Thanks for the great video. I have the Thursday Vanguard boots. In general they are quite good but the sole is definitely wearing out faster than Dainite.
A great detailed review. I have quite a few pairs of their boots/shoes, and they are well made. I am wondering will you guys do a review of Grantstone boots, another great boot IMO.
Great review brother! I will definitely consider buying a Brown pair of these after watching your great video on them.
Don't know how I missed this review. I've been wondering about these shoes - thanks!
Thank you for this Thursday Boot Shoe review video. Keep up the great work ! 👍
Extremely well done video! Thank you so much for sharing your info!
Thanks for the great review. I have a pair of Thursday boots that I wear like work boots. They are holding up great and look really good. I had a lace hook come off and been emailing back and forth for 3 weeks now to get replacement parts. They said the will pay the repair bill to have them installed. I want to buy the boots in chrome excel but am hesitant because of the waiting on the parts. Overall I am very pleased with the quality and value of the boots.
I need to buy a new pair of shoes and thought about Thursday as I purchased their Captain Boots back in November and have been happy with them. Because of your professional review, I will look at their shoe collection and make a decision. I am going between Allen Edmonds Seconds and Thursday Boots at this point. You do good work for all of us. Thank you!
Thanks to you and to the person who purchased and donated the shoes for the review.
Fantastic breakdown, cheers!
Thanks for this. All other Thursday videos are biased and it’s amazing to see a truly honest review!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
I gave a pretty thorough review on a pair of brogues I bought when Thursday first started branching out from boots to shoes. Put it on reddit. I was absolutely destroyed for giving a good review.
Super curious; would you say most other reviews are biased towards or against?
thanks for this awesome video. VALUED CONTENTTT
Great Review! Thanks for taking the time to do this it answered all of my questions.
Thanks! Any time.
Thanks for the video. Love to see these tear downs. Now I know the Thursday Boot oxford is a pretty good deal!
Great review 👍
Just bought a pair after seeing this that shows "Quality"
Just ordered a pair to try thanks to this review. It's my official entry into shoes that cost more than $60. You guys are costing me a lot of money. ;)
Tell me about it. Since I discovered their channel a couple years ago I've bought three pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes, two pairs of Allen Edmonds boots, a pair of Thursday Boots, a pair of Beckett Simonon boots, and a pair of Cobbler Union shoes. Subscribing to their channel has cost me almost two grand.
What an educational and thorough review! Thanks Trenton and Heath!
Cantori Guy Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Can’t wait for my order to get here in a couple days bought three pairs mostly because of this review hope they don’t let me down ordered two colors of this shoe and a pair of double monks as well thanks for a great vid
Really interesting. People criticise Thursday but it seems more because of inconsistent quality rather than cutting corners.
I own the executive and the cavalier. The cavaliers have that suede or rough out leather around the heel and they fit better imo. The executives slip a little bit since the heel is lined with the glove leather. Hope that helps.
Excellent video. More importantly, kudos to the guy who sent his shoes for the purposes of tearing them apart for this review.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Jack Erwin.
I am wearing duke (chuka) boots and chelsea boots (both of them suede) for 3 seasons, mostly during late fall, winter and spring time... both of them fantastic. Only the color of side sole is gone )))))... I never take care of them as they are my everyday shoes. I would say they worth to buy. No regrets so far.
Thanks Trenton, great review.
Thank you, Jeff! Glad you enjoyed.
Very encouraging. Many thanks.
Thanks for the review. I'll be ordering a pair all the way from Malaysia.
I really appreciate you all taking the time to deconstruct and really analyze the construction of this shoe and other shoes on your channel. My husband has been purchasing "retail" shoes for years and after watching your videos, he's now INVESTING in shoes as opposed to just purchasing them.

We asked and we shall receive. Thanks guys!!!
I saw a deal on the brand Samuel Windsor and thought about buying a shoe from them knowing that they have the 360 Goodyear welt as a feature on their shoes at around $80. I'd love you see a breakdown to have a more informed choice. Huge fan of the channel keep it up.
Thank you guys
Hope they get a meermin and acemarks to assess. The earlier meermin wasn’t calf skin and the outsole wasn’t disassembled.
Phillip Yao We have 3 pairs of Meermin shoes (2 lace ups & 1 soft calfskin pair of loafers) ready to be reviewed. Stay tuned.
Trenton & Heath - Looking forward to it. Not the ones you're going to review but I've been eyeing Meermin's 101330 & 114409 series for a while.
Ace Marks would be great too. A lot of CZcamsrs are on that bandwagon, and I think you guys would give a perspective they don’t. I actually might have a pair to send for such a review.
Excellent breakdown. I just ordered my first pair of Thursday Boots recently, so it's nice to see one of their shoes examined like this. Keep up the great work. I subscribed and hit the bell.
Thank you!
Welcome to the Team :)!
Great review, thank you 😊❤️
I've been wearing my Thursday Boots weekly since Feb this year when I got them. My soles are not even anywhere close to being worn down and I am hard on my shoes. Not saying they are as good as Danite, but since I only paid $150 for them (factory seconds) I could care less that they aren't.
Victor Hinojosa Exactly! They seem to be quality shoes, especially for what they’re charging...$160-$190. Quite a steal!
I got my pair shipped to the UK a few weeks back, trying to wear them in and have a few normal wear creases showing but I can see these boots going the distance.
Looking at another pair😂👍
Couldn't care less is the idiom.
How is the leather holding up?
How is the quality of the upper leather compared to Meermin?
Great review as always
Great vid, was wondering if you can possibly give a review on ace marks shoes. I'm sure alot of guys would love to hear your impute and knowledge on those shoes...thanks again!
Mr. V Thanks! We have a Ace Marks review/refurbishment video coming very soon.
I would love the same type of video focused on Thursday Boots Captain.
Please do this.
RMRS has a good one, he saws it in half too
but he isnt a cobbler
Also Thursday Boots is a paid sponsor of RMRS. My man still does a good job, but Trenton & Heath will be much less biased.
That KILLED me to see those getting taken apart...that said you confirmed the quality of my purchase. That heal pad is a champ. You unboxed those shoes and I could smell that leather. Another great vid!!! Thursday boot review, any possibility you could do the Diplomat? Curious how those compare to their Redwing Heritage counterpart before I pull the trigger on a pair.
James Weiss Thanks, James! Not sure if we’ll be able to get our hands on a pair soon, but we’ll see what we can do.
I got my Thursday boots. Love them.
Love the videos and Western Swing... However I’m hoping there will be another song sooner than later. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the honest, unbiased review and to whowever donated them for the teardown. Got youself a new subcriber. Looking forward to the Thursday Boot boot review.
You’re welcome, Don. Thanks for the sub!
I would love to see you do a deconstruction of Tecovas boots.
We need an updated current video in regards to Thursday 🙏🏻 it seems that they’ve modified their shoes
Hey love your videos. Can you do Anthony Veer shoes? Especially the Clinton Oxfords. I have a pair and love them but a comment I seen sparked curiosity and concern. They're supposed to be full grain leather but someone said it wasnt when they purchased a pair. And I'm curious to know the quality compared to other shoes around that price range.
Great info! Do a review on Edward Green’s
You're making me want to buy these for my next pair instead AE lol. That price is really tempting. Those soles look really weird though. I dont know how I feel about that. If they have regular tanned leather soles I'll probably give them a try.
Thanks for the fantastic review. I just bought my first pair 3 weeks ago.
C Lue Thanks! We think you’ll like them.
The review is just what was needed. Grateful to the viewer that sacrificed those pairs. And thankful for the cobbler tech support. This company is legit. I’ll buy the boots next!!!!
Welcome to Team Thursday :)
Thursday Boot Company
I’ll be wearing them aggressively in 3 weeks time. Let’s see what kind of chutzpah they got!!!
Great review
Would love to see a review of the Italian line Blake McKay shoes. No need to even look at their less expensive model sold at DSW. The Italian line is Blake stitched, but curious about how well they are actually constructed. Their Italian line falls around $200 and then a bit more for Chukas and boots.
Wonderful review thank you!! Just an observation. . .it looks like the insoles, the material just under the foam inserts, are not full leather; it probably doesn't matter then since the insoles are covered by foam/leather inserts. It seems the insole/cork combo won't conform to the feet as well as, say, Allen Edmonds, a brand which you mention. The Thursday Boots company rocks!!
Great video as always. I actually own a pair of both Thursday boots and their shoes and am glad that it's gotten the T&H seal of approval! I would love to see a review on Too Boot New York's shoes! I've been interested in the grad for a while now and wanted to know your opinion!
Solid Foundations Thanks! We can probably do that.
Enjoyed the review of a shoe company I am considering buying shoes from. Thank you much appreciated
Very nice review. I own 3 pairs of Thursdays, both boots and dress shoes, and this is the first review I see from a cobbler 😂
HEY, can you help me understand their sizing?//
i got their boots in half size smaller like they said, but they were too big. you have both the boot and the shoe, did you see any difference in the sizing ? if i took 9.5 in the boots and they are too big, would the same 9.5 in their dress shoes fit me like it should?
i appreciate your answer on that, that would be very helpful
How's the dress shoes holding up rn?
Yes, this information was very informative. I was looking to at purchasing Thursday Boot Products as I, like most people, want a good product at a fair price. You guys give me good information and it is great to get it from a Cobbler! I will look at their shoes for my next purchase. I will drop you a line once I get a pair.
SigmaMan Thanks! Yes, please do so. We’d love to hear your feedback.
I bought the Executive thinking I would get the same textured sole, but alas, they have now have a *mirror smooth* sole in 2022. I have BAD memories of sliding on water with super smooth soles and am considering returning them.
Got my Thursday Boots Executives today. Took them out of the box and put them right back in to be returned. The left show was fine. The right shoe had clearly been worn. It had creases before the cap toe, the back was creased, and there was a tear in the leather around the opening of the shoe (along with frayed leather and stitching around the opening). There were creases or indentations in the inner sole near the heel as well. Definitely not acceptable. Let’s see how the return process goes.
Hello T&H, now that you’ve guys reviewed both Beckett Simonon & Thursday Boots! How do you guys compare both of their shoes? What are your pros and cons?
Jose Omalin They’re both very similar. Pros for TB: Goodyear welted, stacked leather heel blocks, probably a little more durable sole (as it has rubber nub inlays to provide traction and better wear). Both are very simple to recraft and can be recrafted (TB probably a little more so since it’s GY welted instead of blake stitched like BS). BS’s upper leathers were very similar, but I’d say BS has a slight edge. BS would probably be more comfortable right out of the box since they are blake stitched. Mine felt great from day one, but I’ve never worn TB shoes, so I can’t say for certain. With both being at the $200 price point, it’s very close. They are very, very similar. TB you can order and have to you within days, BS you’ll have to wait a couple of months.
Trenton & Heath Thank you for the awesome comparisons!
See, this is how a CZcams channel should be handled. Actually read and respond to posts. It's why I don't take channels seriously where the creator posts questions, pins them, and then never gets back to actual questions, because theres not too many.
I own 2 pairs of Thursday dress shoes. Had then both around a year, and am happy with them. I have wide feet, which they dont offer, but they broke in nice with time.
We'd love for you to stay posted for more wider width options :)
i have wide feet as well @ EEE does it eventually get comfortable enough?
@@adamcunningham6847 Yeah after about 10 good wears. I bought a pair of Allen Edmonds and the pair was actually not the best quality in my opinion, may have just got a lemon, so I returned them and bought the TB executive. Had them for almost a year and they've molded to my feet well. I'm an 11/11.5 wide, I got size 12 shoes.
@@Chavo3313 kool thanx man , looking for a first pair of shoes trying to get back into the workforce, used to wear safety boots for so long actually got sized at an edmonds store as i am according to them a 11.5 EEE , however their shoes arent so budget friendly...lol
@@adamcunningham6847 They are a pretty good deal for 180$. I'd recommend trying them on in the house, make sure you dont scratch the bottoms, and if it's too tight you can return them. Personally I thought they might be too tight when I got my first pair, but decided to wear them and they broke in. You'll definitely need a shoe horn (really for any dress shoe). I use a cheap plastic one and bought some cheap cedar wood trees from Amazon. Good luck!
Perfect review. 👌🏼👍🏼
Thanks!!
Awesome video. My wife was looking at some for herself but wasn’t sure if they were built good.
Not sure if the women’s shoes are made the same way. If so, I think they’d be a good buy.
I bought my wife a pair of the roughout leather boots when they first launched and the rubber heel broke off on inside in big chunk, sent back and second pair did the same shortly after with very minimal wear. I'm also not sure if they are gyw. I don't believe so. May need to look and see but website doesn't say so, unlike the men's versions that state so.
I would love to here more thoughts on this hybrid sole.
I have heard mention made of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots in another video; what other brands of shoes do the two of you wear personally?
I would love to see a video, sort of like the one you did in goodwill where you two go head to head and buy a pair of shoes and restore them. Then, either put them on eBay anonymously or do a poll to determine the winner. Could give them away or auction them for charity at the end too!
Can you do a review about Jalan Sriwijaya Japan dress shoes? I have 2 pairs of them, its under $300 i think, and its been very popular at Japan
What is the practical difference between the quality of the upper leather on these shoes vs, say, Allen Edmonds? What does it mean to the every-day wearer when you say that these are a step below what, say, Allen Edmonds uses for their uppers? Thanks!
Ouch! Crash test for dress shoes. Great analysis.
Vin Mar Haha...thanks!
Any idea on what material the shank is made of?
Would u pick these over Beckett Simonon?
Would love to see a review of Thomas Bird London
I'm debating on buying the Executive, however I was wondering whether I would be able to put a proper high shine on the toe cap of these. Anyone have any input on that before I purchase?
Great video! Is Meermin next?
Jesse Salver We have some more Meermin’s on the way.
Hey Trenton and Heath great video!! Why does Thursday’s Boots Company insist on making shoe heels so thick and raised? Thick all the way around. It looks feminine right? Their Chelsea Duke boots have this too thick of a heel. Is this there signature thing? I don’t get it? 🤷🏻♂️
Can you say anything about Samuel Windsors??
Can you please review Idrese DTC shoes?
what do you guys think about grant stone?
Any reviews on Frye boots and shoes?
Nice review I wait for the boot review can you put a dinate heel pad to a shoe will last more?
abrahan sosa chavez You could, I suppose. The heel block on these, or most dress shoes, would need to be shortened in order to accommodate the much thicker Dainite heel pads.
Hello, do you know if these are a true cap toe? Where there are 2 layers of leather or a false cap toe?
Good to know keep it up
Do you guys ever get Taft shoes in? Any comment on their quality?
Can you review Frye boots?
What are the differences between these and beckett and simonon and meermin
They are very happy shoes.
Compare to meermin. Is it better?
I wear my heels unevenly - I must kick or drag my heel. Any advice or protective measures I can take? Thanks. I've been really enjoying your videos and have recommended them to many.
Blayne Cooper Thanks, we really appreciate it! If you’re wearing your heel pads out quickly, you may want to consider heel taps to go on them. They’re little plastic or metal pieces that attach onto your heel pad. You wear those down instead of your heel pads, and they’re much cheaper to replace.
@@TrentonHeath Thanks! Can you recommend a brand? I checked some out on amazon and most get awful reviews. Nail, screw or glue? My heels won't be leather. Again, thanks.
