At times people don't notice issues with shoes because they have several pairs to choose from their collection. Those who notice things are those with like less than 10 pairs...😊 if you can afford hv shoes for different occasions.
Yep, I have about 6 pairs of casual shoes, so I feel like I wear them often enough to see wear over multiple years! But not so much trust in beating them out quickly. Do you have pairs of these Premiers?
I wear my heel boots from Thursday Boots for the last year and they hold up very well. i do take care of the them and believe its why they have lasted so long
I have had my white ones for a little over a year but wore them maybe 70% of that time. You can see the square pattern on the bottom so they are more worn than even your 3 year pair. All of the sole stitching has held up well but some stitches have broken at the ankle on both sides where the inner and outer leather meet. I removed the insoles for the first time and it looks like the fiberboard underneath is detaching from the sole. I saw somewhere that the lasting board is supposed to be leather but I guess that's not true for all colors. With that said, they have been very comfortable throughout their lifetime and I already ordered another pair to replace them
Im subbed to your channel for the bag reviews and randomly saw this video suggested to me after watching rose anvils thursday sneaker review. Thank you so much for the tip to take out the insoles. I've had greats royales that were made in italy for years and i always found them uncomfortable or "it still needs time to break in" so I just never wore them. After taking out the insole theyre extremely comfortable for me. I think the soles increase the heel by a few mm's and it felt like my feet were constantly slipping forward on the leather. Like putting on sandals with wet feet. Thanks again for the tip!
great to hear! Yea, their stuff fits small and I'm finally coming to terms with that. This Sunday I'm actually releasing a new Thursday boots videos for their new sneakers, where basically I decided to size up and it fits better.
I’ve seen so many good reviews on Thursday shoes. So I was surprised in my experience. I’ve gone through so many videos and everyone is sharing excellent experiences with Thursday. My experience was trash. I received two pairs with problems with the left sneaker. One came creased where the foot bends and the other came with an unglued cup sole. Thursday told me both were merely cosmetic issues. Hey the car is scratched and ugly but the motor goes vroom vroom.
damn sorry to hear that. Yea, Ive personally had all great experiences , but I've seen similar comments to yours where Thursday will downplay the issue. Keep fighting! I think they'll eventually replace it if you pester them enough.
lol I have the dark brown ones my soles worn out a lot in about 1 year (it's almost gone through the sole in some spots), I don't think mine can last for 3 years, the upper remains almost brand new though (I do polish and condition them all the time); on the other hand their boots sole looks almost brand new in one year
Great review! I have their boots but never really got into their sneakers. Now I will purchase a pair when I need a new pair of sneakers seeing that they last as long as their boots and age very well.
Tony, you’re killin it on the comment game. Thanks again, hopefully I have some other good videos to help. Really appreciate the comments, it’s what helps me make more videos
@@Jager11 I’d probably skip these because they don’t have much because you need to begin with. So they didn’t really lose any cushioning. Thursday boots, encore and court models have more padding
I also had plantar fasciitis and was in REI shopping for shoes with good cushion and the salesperson changed my mind saying that arch support is better than cushion and sold me green Superfeet insoles which I have worn in every shoe and work boot for the last 30 years and never had foot pain again. I do stretch my calf muscle which also helps the feet.
no problem! the heel cushioning isn't great to be honest. But check out the "Encore". It's a new model Thursday released. my review for them is coming out soon, but basically they added a padded insole and sockeliner. and theres no longer to buy the Premiers except if theres a color you want.
@@Christopher_Stead yea! it comes out this coming Sunday. But yea, check out the Encore, it has way better cushioning. Or even Thursday's "Court" model.
@@toddysseygaming I got the courts but returned them becuase of sizing. I got the Encores instead and am releasing a review in a few weeks. Were there any questions I could help with on either shoe?
Even though these are sneakers, the black and old english can work with a business suit. The colors are dark and the silhouette is clean that you can get away with passing these off for dress shoes.
I have a pair for about 3 years now and I hate them. The back part is really high and digs into my Achilles. I always get blisters and they often wear through the back of my socks.
The biggest thing for me with this show is that little rubber logo on the back of the midsole. I’ve had chucks and when they get worn down their logo tears off putting a hole in the shoe making it useless. Maybe Thursdays sole is rock hard and won’t wear down that much
if its analine or semi analine leather, which I highly doubt, but if it is, you can easily restore them to like new... it's almost certainly a solid pigment leather though like the vast majority shoes like this. thursday seems like the only one of these social media shoe brands that isn't a total scam. still wouldn't try their products though. theres no point when other brands I wont name exist that have been making shoes like this for longer than the founders of these trendy fad companies have been alive, and they are high quality and I already know what to expect
They can, it's not too difficult. Cut the sitches, pull off the sole, replace the foam, lightly glue the new sole on and stitch it. However I'm not sure if Thursday sells the outsole or if it is a standard size that could be ordered from a third party seller.
@@lt3880 It's on there website -> All of our footwear is constructed with durability, comfort, and versatility in mind. Every pair of our men's boots and dress shoes are resoleable, though our sneakers are not easily resoleable. It's not standard resole process might be hard to find a shoe repair, but a cobbler fully trained could do it. Stitches are on the sidewall a bit harder then a goodwelt to pull and redo
@@EDGlove your Thursday book sneakers reviews, I think I’ve watched them all lol. The Natural Vachetta color way definitely looks more brownish than the pinking tone the website gives it. This video convinced me to buy them just now, along with the Rhone pants
@@EDG thank you for replying. I don’t consider to have a wide feet . I tough about it because of the narrow part some people complain. Do they tend to get a bit wider when they brake in?
I know I’m in the minority here but I wish my boots stayed looked brand new every day. When they first come in they’re so beautiful and perfect and I want them to stay that way lol some leather types I enjoy the patina but some I don’t.
I understand that both sides of the shoe will get creased overtime, but on the toe box area as well? It looks hedious when the toe portion creased up, they should hardened the front of the sneakers or reinforce it.
im thinking about all black sneaker to buy,i already have the cocoa premier im interested in black vachetta but i dont know looking at your vid i think they looked cheap - ish?
Hey, thanks for the comment. Black is kinda hard to see, and my camera wasn’t the best. But I actually really like the black vachetta….it has a more matte finish with the nicer laces so it’s pretty nice I’d say. Not cheap! How do you like your colorway? I been looking at that one.
@@EDG premier def not the most comfortable but cocoa def the most good looking, the leather lacer heldup super well, the sole still look brand new, i wore it like twice a week over a year, but totally recommended especially for the price what i dont understand about thursday. they put super thick nice leather on the shoes but non replaceable sole, thats kinda contradiction if u ask me
@@awietjandra8788 yea, agreed they aren't the most comfortable but they're really well built! Yea, I know their boots probably have replaceable soles, but I guess not their shoes. Idk, even with my testing these rubber soles last really long.
Dood, your shoes are pretty big. Your heel is not even at the back of the shoe. Interesting fit, I guess. I couldn't wear lace up shoes that loose personally.
No, they fit fine. They’re actually a tad small. My heel slide forward in the video because I took the insoles out(to make them fit better), so my socks are on straight leather and slide a little.
Their shoes are garbage now. I bought a pair of penny loafers that came with a six in scratch. When I requested an exchange they were quick to act. The second pair arrived with mismatched color and in some places no color at all. I requested a refund and so far no action on their part at all except to tell me they received my email. This has been going on two weeks. It seems like they don’t like to refund your money. It costs less for them to send you another pair of shitty shoes that probably cost them pennies on the dollar than refund $200. I’ve been a customer since their inception but no more. I’ll spend my money on quality shoes like Allan Edmonds or Bruno Magli. Caveat Emptor!!
The discoloration is called “ Patina “.

Nowadays its cheap to have 10 pairs of shoes, I bought some great ones used but like new at a fraction of the retail price.
I wear my heel boots from Thursday Boots for the last year and they hold up very well. i do take care of the them and believe its why they have lasted so long
great to hear! @@stepheniemartinez2453
Most cobblers suggest rotating your shoes after two wears to give them a chance to breath.
Creasing is good, it gives the shoe character 😎
Totally agree

Mine are taking forever to break in, but I have no complaints on craftsmanship so far
thanks for the comment! do they still feel stiff?
Buy a shoe horn, use shoe trees, and use a simple leather conditioner.
I should!…. But definitely won’t end up doing so
All you need is some leather care on your 3 years old pair! Condition it and apply some brown cream polish to get rid of the scuffs
@@gohyingler7980 that’s what I should do yes
They do made wide sizes as well in their shoes. On the product page you can select EE wide
Dope! Wonder if that was a new edition. I gotta get me a wide
That's incorrect. They only offer that on SOME of their boots. None of their sneakers offer EE wide
@@GuitarHalo2I just bought a pair of EE wide sneakers from them today.
Some cedar shoe trees and leather polish can keep them looking way better for far longer time than just 3 years.
Cool! To clarify, I wasn’t saying they only last 3 years. But rather, the 3 year old pair I have is in great shape with plenty of years left in them

@@arpeemac thanks!
How much of the "cushioning" is gone, do you think (maybe by percentage)? I have plantar fasciitis so I need a fair amount of cushioning. Thank you.

That’s unfortunate, is it size correctly? Wait why do you keep them for three years if you hate them
Add some heel cups to raise your foot so that the shoe is more comfortable
Great video, out of interest how much walking are you doing in them? Assume not much commuting etc.. it's crazy how well the sole has lasted.

@@jeffhicks8428 thanks for the analysis. What’s the other shoe brand!?
My main concern was, is the life of the outsole. Can these be resoled?
can any sneaker be resoled? even the best ones are sidewalled stitched.
Im not sure if they can be resoled , sorry About that!
It "can"; thought not cost effectively.
They can, it's not too difficult. Cut the sitches, pull off the sole, replace the foam, lightly glue the new sole on and stitch it.

It doesn't rain where you are? I've never hear of a place. Even in the desert of deserts, it rains, right?
It doesn’t rain much, so I don’t have to really plan for it
Thinking of buying Thursday sneakers. They have a Wide option or going half size. Whats your recommendation?
Thank you for the review
Hmm, do you have wide feet? I'd go with the wide version with your true to size.
@@EDG thank you for replying. I don’t consider to have a wide feet . I tough about it because of the narrow part some people complain. Do they tend to get a bit wider when they brake in?
@@josemanuel2244 yeah, they break in a little bit. I would try true to size you can always exchange it
I have true to size size 10s, but they're are so uncomfortable I couldn't wear them outside the house. So exchanging them for 10.5s
The vachetta leather pairs have a much cleaner design. I have a white pair, which is like the dark brown pair.
Are these more comfortable than Stan smiths in your opinion?
Oo great question. I love Stan smiths, so I’d give the edge to them. But Thursday boots once they break in a bit are still nice
@@EDG lovely, thanks for the super quick reply!
I know I’m in the minority here but I wish my boots stayed looked brand new every day. When they first come in they’re so beautiful and perfect and I want them to stay that way lol some leather types I enjoy the patina but some I don’t.
What boots do you have? Any from Thursday?
Would you say these fit true to size?
@@stevenwongrealestate they do. They’re a little narrow, but I’d say they still fit true to size
So impressive! What am I doing spending $100CAD every year for shoes that last only a year?
exaaaaaactly
I understand that both sides of the shoe will get creased overtime, but on the toe box area as well? It looks hedious when the toe portion creased up, they should hardened the front of the sneakers or reinforce it.
Commenting the same thing on all the Thursday boot videos. Did the wrong you somehow?
are the insoles removeable? great video review dude!
Hey, yes they are. I just wear mine without the insoles so in the video I took them out. Thanks man!
How's the underfoot cushion on this model, especially under the heel?
It’s more the a Converse shoe, but not “padded”. It’s pretty minimal
Just think how much better they’d look if you actually took care of them
exactly! These are almost worst case, which is pretty impressive.
Does the tongue hold in place
It holds in place on two of the pairs, and on one it slips sideways a little but not too bad
I wish they had better colors
Which colors would you like to see? They have a ton of
Seriously? What color would you like? Red?
