The only Thursday I’ve REALLY liked are the Diplomat (Black label is Builder). The other Thursdays I’ve liked are: Desperado (cowboy boot), and “logger” boot. I’ve not tried their most popular Captain boot yet.

I’m glad you had the opposite experience! Means that they weren’t totally a useless collab. An insole doesn’t help me with these boots. If you look closely at the cut in half photo on their site, they almost look egg shaped. I legitimately felt nothing under my midfoot (not even that flat portion).

It’s possible.. But even my flat boots I could feel something underneath my foot. With the brawlers I feel nothing under the middle portion of my foot (even the flat part of the middle foot). If you take a close look at the Thursday’s cut in half photo, it’s almost egg shaped. I’ve not tried Jim Green, so I can’t say anything about their boots. But I personally think that Thursday’s lasts are not meant to be used for higher stacked heels. They seem to accommodate more of the flat heel type boots; like their Captain, Chelsea, Diplomat, and President boots.

No, it wouldn’t. It lacks too much arch support to begin with. If you look at the cut in half photo in Thursday’s site, it’s almost egg shaped on the inside. In reference to the Jim Greens, they do a much better job with their boots. You should be good.

Yeah, if you look at the cut in half photo. It’s almost egg shaped on the inside…

They fit great! My shoe size with Thursday (so far) has been 10 my brannock size across all of the shoes I’ve bought.

Well, to be quite frank with you.. The verse alone doesn't mean a lot. However, if you read the book it ties it all together. I don't believe I was lead to do these daily verse videos with the intent of giving the premise of each book I give a verse on... I feel it's more of the fact I can get people more curious about the Bible, and lead them closer to God by reading it for themselves; and learning the premise of each book for themselves. I'm not a Pastor, and I don't believe that is my calling either. However, if you'd like the rundown of the book of Joel, here you are: The Book of Joel is that of a devastating locust plague, interpreted as a sign of God's judgment, and serves as a call for the people of Judah to repent and return to God, with the promise of future restoration and renewal if they do so; the central theme is the "Day of the Lord," a time of both judgment and ultimate salvation for those who turn to God.

lol, please don’t! I had to record this review 3 different times to have the proper words to say…

Thank you man! It sucks having to give this review… I tried to give it a fair chance. But Thursday was just the wrong company to do this collab-boot with.

Yeah, Thursday just doesn’t know how to build a boot with a stacked heel. They need to just do what Red Wing did with their Iron Ranger, and just add a leather midsole. I think that would change the game for them. Or just stick to Moc toe boots. Their moc toes are another level of price to performance. Edit: Like their captain boot. That’s their most popular boot, and I’ve only ever seen noobie complaints on them. Because they don’t know how to take care of a real leather product.

OMG I thought I was going crazy I have the same problem with two different size.... Thanks

Oddly enough, your boot may have been a half size too small. I had this issue with a size 10 (their recommended size for me), exchanged for a 10.5 (my Brannock size), suddenly the boot felt great. Stiff, because it hasn't been broken in yet, but great all the same. I have low arches so the lack of massive arch support isn't a problem for me anyways. I suspect the sliding will become even LESS of an issue as my footprint goes working it's way into the insole. Their size guide is not accurate for this model, most people are saying it fits best when going true to Brannock.

@paperbeatsrock_ thanks this reply is very helpful!

@@doublebase6509 Well, I do understand the casualness of the boots. All of Thursday boots are meant for casual use, in my opinion. Except for the Builder and the non-black label diplomat. Those I’d actually work in (and have). But yeah, the design is weird. I don’t have the void issue with my Jordan’s, blazers, dunks, my iron rangers, any of that.. If you look at the cut in half photo on their site, the heel slides down a bit, then at the “arch” of slopes down even more and springs up aggressively at the toe. It’s like a half egg shape inside of the boot.

@ ok yeah, I didn’t realize these are even worse than a typical casual boot like an Iron Ranger…that doesn’t have much arch support in its own right. Interesting. Thanks for the review. You’re doing a good job with your channel.

@@doublebase6509 Now granted, the heel is stacked, unlike the iron rangers. But even my Truman’s don’t have that void issue.. So it’s gotta be an issue with either that last, or they’re not properly building the midfoot up. OR a combination of both. Thank you for the kind words though man! I appreciate it!

Yeah, I hate to say this.. However, he definitely chose the wrong company to go with for this boot. I would’ve happily paid more if it was with Truman, or even Drew’s for that matter. I was gonna grab the Jim Green’s, but I already had spent money on the Builders. Which are my Favorite boot by Thursday, by the way. Will definitely give thorogood, and Red wing a run for their money on moc-toe wedges. And possibly even White’s (since it’s the same price range).

@ yeah man I have the whites Perry select and the thorogood 6 inch Mocs. They’re both amazing. I want some 8 inch redwing Mocs one day. Must exercise self control. Lol

@@jackhood4448 What's crazy to me is how Thursday was able to make a moc with premium leather AND a leather midsole. Now I know they're made in Mexico, which is the main reason, but still.. I have to give them credit where it's due. I've been looking at getting the 8-inch mocs from white's... However, same! I need to calm down lol.

@@TheRealLOLExpress I didn’t know that about Thursdays Mocs. Sounds like good quality

​@@TheRealLOLExpressyeah it seems like Thursday is attempting to disrupt the premium boot market but their business DNA is budget cost and quality. It's a bipolar boot.

I appreciate the kind words brother! I know of a couple people who returned theirs already. I just truly think the only issue with Thursday boots is that they don’t build the mid-foot up as much as needed, and the lasts are wrong for the job. The only boots I’ve not had an issue with are their builder boot, and the “logger” boot by them. I know that doesn’t mean they won’t work for other people. Or maybe I’m just hyper sensitive with having been injured. But I do truly like what Thursday is trying to accomplish (or has since a lot of people flock to them).

but the ones they CALLED Loggers weren't actual LOGGERS, whereas the Challenger was more close approximation.

these look more like the Wolverine 1000 Mile?

Carl spends half his time talking about how his Nick's Builder Pro are his all-around fave boot, tho. Then he collabs w' the NOT PNW handmade boot co?

I couldn't get my feet in the Drew's. Apparently I'm neigh the only one w' this problem. Mentioned before?

Yeah, I already have the challenger. My problem with them is that they’re shaped like a slide. So wall of my weight wants to shift to my forefoot (the ball of my feet). So an insert would not help in those. The loggers aren’t actual loggers, I know. But they are still better than the challengers (in my opinion). But yes, the brawler was meant to look like a Viberg boot (forgot specific model), he just went with the wrong company for it. Like you questioned, it is a bit odd that he collaborated with a non-PNW company to do these boots… However, the Drew’s I think they’re probably the roomiest boots I’ve bought. And I went a full size down, without upping the width (they’re 9D like my Drifters from White’s). I know they use a modified 55 last for their boots. I think where Thursday screws up in all of their stacked heel boots, is that they don’t build up the mid foot like in other brands (except for Truman and the Iron Rangers). However, again with those boots I don’t feel the void under my mid-foot, like I do in the Brawlers.

No problem. Hope it helped! 🙂

You and me both! They did the speed hooks with the Non-Black Label (Diplomat). Don’t know why they didn’t do that here as well..

Could be. But their non-black label version (diplomat) has 2 speed hooks at the top. Which is weird why they didn’t implement them on these as well.

See that’s what I was thinking. I’ve watched a ton of cobbler videos. Not saying I know better, but all of them always make a point to show that the heel should sit flat on the ground.. So, it was quite disappointing when I found that out.

It is, however, they have “relief” cuts in the corners of where the vamp, tongue, and eyelets are.

Yes, these are fully gussetted. I do not understand his complaint about relief cuts. What is he talking about? These boots are fine, IMHO.

@ If you unlace the shoe and pull the eyelet area back, where the vamp is sewn to the tongue, there are “relief” cuts underneath the first eyelet.

@@TheRealLOLExpress thank you for explaining that relief cut.

@@chefrichh No problem! I wish they wouldn’t put those holes in there… But whatever 🤷‍♂️ lol.

Thank you man! And Dang what a steal! That’s awesome! How do you like it so far?

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Cool, thank you brother!

Awesome! Thank you

I might actually give that a shot, since I only put the cream wax on my Nick’s, and then I have some water repellent spray from Cobbler’s choice. Or would you recommend something like Grangers?

​@@TheRealLOLExpress If it’s silicone free, you’re good.

@@TheRealLOLExpress If it’s silicone free, you’re good.

That’s awesome! I don’t know what’s up with them, but I’ve been seeing that a lot lately.. My guess is that they have built a big reputation, and haven’t grown the team to meet the demand. So QC slightly got pushed out the window a little bit.

Yeah, I always figured wedge soles were more of an Hard flat surface boot, than an outdoors boot. But I wanted to give these a shot. They’re great for the price they’re at too! Getting awesome leather, for a little of the price of Thorogoods, and Red Wings.

I live in NC mountains. I love wedge soles on gravel. They're way better than lug soles. But if I'm in wet fields, I go for lugs. Winter or summer makes no difference. Wedge soles are by far my favorites.

@@user-zy4cq6vo3qThey weren’t terrible for me.. But I find lug soles to be a lot easier where I work. I strictly work in Sedona, AZ (unless a builder needs a Borate/final grade treatment for a new build). The wedge sole on those new build treatments makes it a lot easier since I’m concrete for a couple of hours on the borates. But I get more traction with the lug soles if I’m doing a final grade treatment.

Did u found the high ?

I went half-size up from my iron rangers. Which is my true brannock size.

Yeah, I get that the sawhorse motion is normal with handmade boots. However, this just seemed to me much more pronounced than I’ve seen before. I do residential and commercial termite/pest control. To be more specific, I strictly work in Sedona, AZ. So the terrain I’m on is severely uneven all day, everyday.

@ that sucks with $600 dollar boots. Yeah it would bother me a bit.

@@TheRealLOLExpressif you ever find yourself in Tempe there is a JK brick and mortar there.

@@brandonin_ny Oh nice! I'll have to check it out some time! Thank you!

No, they feel liked just normal structured toes.

Oh the Keens are already blown out. However, I had them for about a year.

How are they holding up?

@@IamjbattleGood, I’ve gotten a handful of scratches on them from work, and using them around the property. However, I will probably need to go back to my logger style boots for work; since I am on uneven ground all day, and the loggers provide a little more grip and stability going up and downs hills all day.

@ yeah, I ordered them for work. I’ve been wearing Truman stone rambler. Great boot, but almost too nice for work. Thanks for the review. Only one I’ve found so far

@ yeah, I believe these are more for the person who is gonna be on concrete most of the time. OR not being on super hilly/uneven ground all day.

Oh yeah, I don’t mind it on my casual/work boots. Comes with the territory of the leather coming from a living being
