    I really like this. Oot. I have the matte black, I just wish they offered them in wide sizes.

    I think the Explorers are the best looking line from Thursday. I love the industrial looking hardware eyelets and speed-hooks.

    My only issue with memory foam foot bed is it doesn't hold up for a long hike. What say you?

    • @GentlemansJourney
      @GentlemansJourney  4 месяца назад

      I’m thinking I’ll slip in a thin wool insole. Really like those right now. I’ve not had a memory foam hold up or compare to a good leather footbed.

    I have this color way and they look completely different, it’s probably because mine are broken in already and my soles are grinding down a little I’ve had mine for about a year now, and I’m thinking about getting another pair the (rocky road) or the (jasper) color way!

    Yeah, I need a 3E in Thursday to even consider them (been down that road). I am happy with what I do have in wide variants though. Nice review but unless I can get a wide version it isn't for me.
    As an aside, have you tried their sneakers? I've been curious about those.
    Thanks for the review, as always!

    • @GentlemansJourney

      I have not tried their sneakers, unless things have changed they haven't put out any styles I'd like. Thanks so much for watching. What's your go to boot right now?

    Um, I've gotten to the point where I think they should stop cutting the corners if they're going to say they're the BEST BOOT ever and all that stuff. I feel like I finally got the sizing OK since I don't need anything too wide, but they still botched a bunch of my order and took forever for refunds and things. And they spend way too much time catering to urban use IMO, since I think that ship is largely sailing or whatever... [Urban customers who want MORE rugged stuff than just stuff that LOOKS rugged the more accurate trend?]
    BUT then I thought I would use the OT for a hiking boot and don't think it will have enough arch support for anything really serious now, but a bit more snake protection than the Captain ones that I was using for short excursions in the cooler months or whatever. I was a bit disappointed to return the "logger" version, but they are basically the same thing as the Hero with just two inches taller, so nothing too extreme or whatever.

    • @Highland_Paddy
      @Highland_Paddy 4 месяца назад +1

      The President ones are OK for daily urban use but I like the fit of the 1000 Mile a little better, but not sure if they will hold up long-term with just that outsole bit or whatever, but I didn't get any of these with lug outsoles since I already have a bunch of "army" boots I haven't even worn yet for warm weather hiking, too.

    • @Highland_Paddy
      @Highland_Paddy 4 месяца назад +1

      I think all their boots run small, so these probably too tight.

    • @Highland_Paddy
      @Highland_Paddy 4 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, they've been doing who-knows-what? w' the outsoles lately. Some guy told me he got the new ones with blah, blah, but I'm pretty sure he got older ones instead. I wonder if a bunch of their old soles failed or they just started having too many issues producing in-house.

    Its a nice looking boot, Thursdays are way to narrow for me though. Will be interesting to see how the outsoles will hold up, with the softer material.
    I have some Vibram 528 newflex on order for my Jim Green Razorbacks, the hard outsoles on them suck for hiking harder surfaces.

    • @GentlemansJourney

      Yeah I hope to get a one year review off with plenty of use so we will see. A nice outsole makes all the difference for sure!!
