What’s Inside Thursday’s Most Popular Boot - Thursday Captain Review

Thursday Captain Boot Review - The Thursday Captain boot is Thursdays most popular boot and arguably their best boot. So I cut one in half in this video to find out what's inside and if the thursday diplomat is worth it. There are a lot of work boots or casual boots but there are very few that blend the best of both worlds to make slim boot with a lugged outsole that can be used for hiking boots, light work boots, casual boots or a light dress boot with a chunky sole. Thursday diplomats might be a little bit of each of those types of boots.

I bought a pair if their Arizona Adobe rugged boots but with the regular Thursday sole about 2 years ago and they're holding up great. Now when I first received them I noticed that there was a bit of separation from the outsole and midsole (which has only gotten slightly worse over 2 years). I contacted Thursday and they told me to keep them and do what I wish with them and they're still going to send me a brand new pair. Awesome. I'm still wearing the first pair I bought and have a brand new pair in my closet to pull out once these are roached.

Weston,
Hey listen man, I'm concerned with your bandsaw practice and I'm telling you there is a better way.
You need a bandsaw sled. Can I make you one and send it to you? I'm thinking you need one with hold downs to stabilize the uppers and the nature of the sled will prevent the sole from dragging.

You'll have to do minimum set up when you receive it and I think 90% of that smoke will not be produced, the dragging and shifting during the cut will be eliminated and your cut quality will improve drastically.

I need some info.
What model is your saw and what blade are you using? Do you cut thru steel shanks with it? Did you set your bandsaw up properly before and after the blade broke in(they stretch enough to throw off alignment)?
Send me that info and I'll make you a sled. I'll even send video instructions.
Have a nice day.
Rich

I worked a labor intensive job in these for about a year and they did well. The sole started to separate after a day where I absolutely thrashed them but it didn't continue to sperate after that day. I was impressed with these. Still have plenty of tread too

[CrimFerret]

For what they are designed for (a casual daily wear, but not heavy use boot), they are really nice for the price they charge. If you need an actual work boot, there are certainly better choices in not too much more expensive boots or you could just get a pair of Nick's.

You went into this boot knowing exactly what is was made for, thank you! I see some people knocking Thursdays because they aren’t as durable or well made as other brands but that’s the thing…Thursday has never pretended to be something it’s not. Great looks, real leather, at an affordable price and that’s why I love them.

These boots are absolutely killer. I'm a railroad supervisor, the role is rather unique with me spending half of my time in the field and half my time in the office. I got this exact pair with my company boot allowance to give them a shot out on the railroad, so far they have been perfect. They look nice when I have to attend meetings and do the usual admin office stuff, but they handle walking around in ballast, uneven terrain, hills, hard pavement/cement, shop environment shockingly well. It's nice to have some boots that can do two things at once without sacrificing too much. We'll see how they last until next year when my boot allowance is granted again, I'm sure they'll meet my expectations though

I have these boots in the same color and got super excited when I saw my exact model was being reviewed. And I have to say I agree with the video, these are great for traveling because they can do a little of everything and they're comfortable. These were never meant to be work boots.

[nearly-blindbrian]

I just ordered a pair.. these will be my first "boot" other than some hiking boots I have had in the past.. Thanks for your review and honest opinion.

[Watchtrain]

Looks like the perfect winter commuter boot. As a Thursday boot owner, I would recommend hiking and working in them. They are tougher than they look and the wear and tear just ads to the character of the boot.

[kingspartacus]

I have 4 pair of Thursday’s and I love them, they’re very comfortable and they look good as casual and a tiny bit dressed up. Overall im really happy with them and seeing what the look like cut in half is pretty cool

[katherinetay]

Would love to see a comparison between Thursday's men chelseas vs women chelseas! The chelseas for men are Goodyear welted, whereas for the women's equivilent, they are cemented. Would love to hear your take on it.

[deltaniner]

I really wanted to see the shank of this boot, as well as to see what the counter was made of. Thought it was a little weird how these details were skipped on a sponsored video.

[TatyanaHallMusic]

I'd love to see you review and cut in half Thursday's Vanguard boots! They're supposed to be more rugged and resilient and I'd love to know what the difference is between them and their regular Captain boots.

[jaslarue]

Another great review. The Thursday last isn't great for me, but their products have been a great influence in the market. This one seems to address the heel counter weakness. I appreciate your knowledgeable and fair analysis.

[derekchastain]

I 've had a pair of Captains for two years they are very comfortable and are holding up well. They look great and I will buy them again.

[JoeBlunt]

I have these in black for the past 3 years or so and they have held up well they are great for the office when it gets cold

[johnbuchanan]

Thank you for disecting my exact boots! I love the lack of a break in period! Walked 3 miles on city cement sidewalks the first time I wore them without any blisters or pain. During the last major weather event I became rather disappointed with the Goodyear whelt. Put my foot into about 3 inches of water and immediately felt water seeping into the seam. As you state, these are casual (lifestyle one could say) boots better suited to pounding the urban and suburban environments than a job site. Good value shoes overall.

[mattmason]

I love Thursday boots. Fashion over performance. Sleek, anti clown boots. Reasonable priced..

[nripendratamang]

i brought these boots from the New York Store, worth the visit if you in New York

[Lmolina]

My first pair of welted footwear was a pair of Thursday Captains that my parents sent me after I landed my first real job out of school. The version they chose looks good enough to pass as a dress shoe. They held up to a resole better than I ever thought they would.
I also have a pair from a similar brand called Wilcox that is also made in Mexico. Slightly higher price point but you get some interesting features $30-50 more than a pair of Thursdays.
