WHITE SNEAKER FINALE TOMORROW!!! Leave a comment here if there’s something specific you want me to cover.

I hope you read your comments because you are putting a spotlight on these companies and showing the consumers if they are a scam or not. Thank you for what you do. Please NEVER stop doing this series

Owner update: got a pair of the black and white in December '20. I am famously hard on sneakers. These have been worn daily for neighborhood walks, yard work, vacations in New Mexico and Virginia, and puttering around the house. The sole has thinned at the ball of my foot, but there have been NO cracks, no separation at the toe creases, no issues in any way. They still look fantastic, even still smell of fine leather. I could not possibly recommend these shoes enough.

Shout out to the homie, Tyler. Hope for a rapid recovery.

Don't stop with the shoe series! I really enjoy the breakdown of these high quality products, it really helps people sort out what is worth paying for.

I'm starting to think Rose Anvil is actually having an impact on the overall shoe market. Before this channel there wasn't really any accessible way for average people to learn about shoes boots and their construction and comparisons between them. It was all mysterious. We were totally at the mercy of the manufactures hype and lies. For years I've been struggling with shoes. I've bought boots and shoes of all different brands (aside from handmade custom stuff cause I didn't even know it existed much less why I would buy such a thing and what to expect) and I've always been dissatified with quality. Seemed no matter how much money I spent or where I bought sneakers or boots or casual shoes they all fell apart and were total garbage. Now I know why. Know I'm ready to order a pair of Nicks boots and happy to shell out the money for them. I understand that all modern sneakers are just junk and the only value in any of them is fashion. These boutique little custom shoe companies are crushing it. They're getting a lot of business which should lead to more companies popping up to take advantage of the new demand. I think this is going to lead to a renaissance in our modern shoes. People are becoming educated and aren't going to be satisfied with the mass produced garbage. I'm excited. I like nice things. And I love nice shoes. Also, soon as my current mass produced garbage Nike's are wore out i'm ordering a pair of these Thursday sneakers. Thank you Rose Anvil!!!!! You're providing a legit valuable service to the community and I do hope you're getting rewarded for your work. Great job!

“They emailed me on Thursday...” Does Thursday only do business on Thursdays? 🤣

I do love my Thursdays. My sole came funky, and Thursday offered to replace them, or pay to have them resoled. I got them resole (they were fine otherwise), and even the cobbler was impressed by them. Cool they're making shoes now, too

Mexico made is the difference. Some made in Italy stuff is just overpriced hype.

This is great! Glad they made a sneaker and you got to review it! Keep up the good work man! Happy Sunday

Thanks to you, I discovered so many high-quality shoe brands! I wish your editor speedy recovery.

Oh those look clean! First time I've winced at you cutting apart a pair of the sneakers. Thanks for the vid!

I received my Thursday sneakers a couple weeks ago. They are the same color and size as those in the video. I tried to order them when the video came out but there was a delay as they were out of stock. That and bad weather kept me from experiencing them until very recently. The magic heel counter seems to have done its job. I applied some White's Boots leather preservative to help soften the tongue. That said, these have become my favorite footwear (ignoring when I NEED my Nick's or White's boots!). They fit my feet well and are comfortable. In fact, they make my New Balance walking shoes look bad in terms of comfort! I rewatched this video after having some experience with the sneakers and I cringed seeing them cut up! LOL

Chromexcel is combination tanned, so chrome tanned first and then vegetable retanned. It's the vegetable tanning part that makes chromexcel so unique (at least according to Horween, and how we can't find leathers very similar to chromexcel - imo).

Now that I have watched the video, I am even more impressed with you and your dedication to your subscribers and to Thursday Boot. I have 4 pairs of their boots and I really want several more and some of their dress and casual shoes and now these sneakers are a must have for me! I can’t wait to grab a pair! Thank you again! I plan to leave Thursday props on their site for getting behind this as well.

Thank you SO MUCH for this Thursday Boots sneaker review! I was very much hoping you would do this!

Love your videos. I came to see Thursday boot reviews but stayed to learn more about leather quality than I ever would have. Thank you!

Immediately in love with these sneakers! I really like CXL and my favorite boots in my collection make use of their waxed rough out. These are going to be a great get

Awesome video. I hope Thursday appreciates the good press, and you just need to keep doing what you’re doing. This is a guilty pleasure channel for me for sure.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on these videos. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a pair of "White Luxe Nappa Leather" sneakers from Thursday Boots. LOVE your "Cut-in-Half" series !!!

Way to go Thursday and you for such a quick response and great video. These sneakers appear to be a great value.

Thursday's rock! I have some Captain boots, some wingtip shoes and (since yesterday) - some white sneakers from them. Great quality at great prices! Thanks for a great review!

love to see a breakdown of some of their boots too! great vid! Hope the editor get's well soon!

Thanks for the good work on your channel. I’ve been impressed with Thursday boots, so I’m now willing to try those same sneakers...

I found your channel because I was looking for boots. I've never worn boots before but after that intro I'm definitely going to get my first pair from Thursday and I'm going to subscribe for more amazing content, thank you!

Thank you for the review. I hope your editor/friend gets better from virus soon. Can you please do Thursday boots review? I recently bought a pair of presidents from them. I am going to pick up a pair of these sneakers(white) next year for the spring and summer. This review definitely helped me in my decision.

Wore my first pair today. I'm impressed already. Already thinking of getting a second pair. I'm sold on the Thursday brand. Bought 2 pairs of boots for my special lady. She absolutely loves them

I didn't anticipate this review to be this quick! edit: and thank you for your hard work you're awesome

Thank you for this review. Thursday are the best pair of boots I've ever owned. I have two pair. now I'm torn because I wanted to buy another pair of boots but these are some really cool looking sneakers...

Kudos to RA for finally giving people a good resource to find quality shoes. The tricky part here is that there is a dizzying array of different leathers for the different colors of this model and according to Thursday, they should all be 1.2 - 1.4 mm in thickness. I asked them how a pair may be thicker than that and they said quality control. So besides not knowing which style of leather wears the best and whether the pair you buy will actually have thicker leather than average, it's sort of difficult to know what you're buying. In terms of production location, apparently the white pairs are made in Portugal and all the rest in Mexico. So overall, it's complicated

Good looking shoe and the value is outstanding. Great job Thursday..

Thank you for sharing. I bought this particular THURSDAY shoe direct after your video . I am exited :)

So excited this happened so quick. Great content, as always from you and the team, Weston.

After watching and rewatching all of your white sneaker videos I purchased the white Thursday sneaker & wore them for the first time today. I'm so impressed by how quickly they're forming to my feet & at the suppleness of the leather. They feel fantastic & seem as though they're going to last a good long while. Thanks for the recommendation!

$130 for chromexcel leather.In a mean time Jordan keep giving a synthetic leather for $200-$250 price tag.Talk about quality over legacy

Ordered these exact ones from here in the U.K. on the strength of this review and they arrived all taxes and duties paid in under a week. Absolutely fantastic sneakers which feel and look wonderful. Just need to spring weather to get them out and about!

Great video as always dude! Love your work

Thank you very much for all of your reviews! Im hooked to your channel amd I learned a lot from it.

Thanks for this video! I just bought some Thursday boots last week because of your other videos and I saw they just released sneakers and was hoping you'd make a video on it. Will definitely pick up a pair now, they look great!

Just got mine yesterday. Well worth the restock wait! Thursday’s are the best

I'm on the wait list for that colorway now!

I’ve got a pair of these and love them! Quality is outstanding. A bit snug at the toe box for my size, but after breaking in, conditioner and using shoe trees, they are my go to sneakers. Also have the black ones that are a little different construction, but equally comfortable. Great value IMO.

With your video review... you SOLD me on getting these vs the common projects.

these look like a decent value. I like the color you disected the most. thanks man, I just bought a pair of solovaire boots in the crazy horse after watching your video and now I am pretty sure I picked out my summer shoes for next year off this one. Good stuff.

I have a pair of Thursday boots and I highly recommend them. They're very comfortable and look great.

Had these sneakers for two weeks now (different color) and they are amazing for the price. If you love clean leather sneakers like I do myself these are a must have. Only one small caveat, they seem to run slightly narrow. I’m a bit flat footed but I’m overall a slim person (5’9”,~142lbs for reference) so I’ve never really had issues with the width of other popular leather sneakers such as Koio. However these shoes do feel slightly snug on the sides, nothing uncomfortable or deal breaking for me. But I feel that someone with wider feet might want to size up.

These are beautiful. They look like the quintessential minimalist sneaker for me. The all white ones, the tan, the dark brown pair are all a must.

Now this is really impressive for the price.

Yes I couldn’t wait for him to review this shoe

I am very impressed by these. At this price it is way better than I expected. With it's construction and the foam insert I don't think that a long time from now I might see the high spots as an issue. By then I would be ok with just buying a new pair.

Found your channel recently and have watch a ton of older videos already and I want a pair of these. One of the few shoes like this that I can afford and with your approval of the leather makes me feel safe with the purchase. Your awesome man! Keep it up. If I get a pair at some point(probably will) I'm getting the coffee low tops for sure. Love the brown leather upper with the white on bottom 🤩

Thank you for review! i got a pair of the white sneaker from Thursday b/c of your review! my pair said it was made in Portugal

I just received these today and they are great! Felt uncomfortable for about 2 minutes because of the thick leather but already started feeling great after that. The leather also smells so good! Super high quality.

I bought a pair of these sneakers in Toffee leather because of this review and WOW! BEST PAIR OF SNEAKERS I'VE EVER BOUGHT! The leather is thick and tough yet soft and comfortable plus it smells incredibly good! Everything is nice and comfortable and I love their presentation, I'm blown away by this company and I highly recommend any of their products 👍

Great video, never thought I would sub to channel like this, but this content is really good!

I couldn’t help but comparing these with the Ariat Two24 sneakers which are also excellent but cost around twice as much. Either way, I really appreciate how soon the company responded and I truly will consider getting a pair of these when the Natural color ones are back in stock. Thanks Weston!

Now these are some cool shoes. They already have a waiting list, so apparently a lot of people feel the same.

Awesome, as always mate👌 Hmmmm.... The branding on the heel spoils it a little but no doubt they will be a great seller👌

Im so happy videos are rolling out in a regular again 😂🙏

I got a pair of Thursday boots for Father's Day, a request I made because of your review. No regrets they fit great and look freakin cool AF! :-)

So cool! I love Thursday boots and even more after seeing these.

Thanks for the video. Watched a few now and great content as always! I'm in the UK and when I checked these out on Thursday's website, I thought the international shipping was going to be prohibitive but full marks to Thursday - Free shipping on anything over $100! Even anything $99 and under is only $8 (between £5 - £6, depending on the exchange rate) for shipping which is amazing really when you consider that I've seen some brands offer international shipping at upwards of £20 and some UK companies can charge £5 for domestic shipping!

I just got these. I also picked up a pair in natural and white. The cacao are by far the best. The leather is exactly as he said. It is thick and sturdy. It doesn't create easy. The natural creases as soon as you take it out of the box. That is not a lie. But it adds character to the shoes. The cacao are rock solid and I freaking wish they could do the same construction but all white.

I'm glad they sent these to you. I wouldn't have been keen these unless they did. I want a pair so bad now.

Can you do a video comparing women’s boots to men’s boots? I’ve seen a lot of your videos about the breakdown in construction in the men’s boots but I’m curious if they make the women’s boots differently

I love my Thursday Captain boots!

I’ve been looking at these for a while! Now I’ll have to snag a pair. I love my Thursday boots

Hehe I hella shouted you out on their Facebook post , keep up the good work!

Fantastic breakdown, thank you! Could you do a breakdown of their captain boot?

Man, I was just on the market for some new shoes like these. Solid price too

Bagged me this exact colorway/leather option. Have to say I love them.

Wow: price, top quality materials and sticking, unique design. You've convinced me from an Instragram add to the best review of shoe's quality out there. They'll be my next purchase and I'll look at other products from the company. Thank you from Toronto, Canada.

Really glad we got your take in these. I have a feeling we will see improvements on this first iteration. In the past they have made changes based on customer feedback. I’d love to see your take on some of Thursday’s boot offerings.

I'd love to have a pair of these on hand. Wonderful build.

I have the Old English because I like a sneaker with a matching gum sole. Like them a lot. As far as the counter it is really comfortable. I have to wear custom orthotics and they surprisingly fit in the shoe perfectly. Will definitely be buying them in white for summer. I also own a pair of Thursday boots too and am getting one of the leather jackets when it comes back in stock. Big fan of the prices and quality of everything. Lucky to have been to the store in NYC. Definitely stop in if you are in town because it's just really nice to actually be able to compare everything to find out what you like best.

I just fell in love with shoes and your channel, so I just subscribed.

Could you do a review on the white version of the Thursday sneakers? I watched your white sneaker finale and you mentioned there were differences between the white colorway of this shoe, versus the Caocao color you've reviewed. Curious on your thoughts regarding the quality of materials used on the white version (the nappa leather vs horween) and if it's still a good shoe at the $130 price point. Or have they compromised on the materials a lot for the white pair

This sneaker is just oozing leather, I love it. I recently got a pair of Allen Edmonds sneakers but now i want to get a pair of Thursdays, seams worth it for the price

Thanks for the vid... I do have a pair of their boots " captain dark olive suede" and love them! I must also point out ....top notch customer service !! I couldn't be happier with my experience with them ! I do have a concern about the possible creasing with them sneakers tho .

Great review and info! thank you sir

Damn, well Thursday should sponsor more often because this just sold me to replace and upgrade my aging leather sneakers

Those are really nice looking shoes. Love all that Horween leather goodness. 👍

First off, I really appreciate your videos, all the knowledge you share and how very genuine you are. I started watching a few months ago and am hooked. I've been getting more and more into the minimalist sneaker look and after I saw this and the white sneaker series 2 months ago I ordered these Thursday sneakers. I just want to share a few thoughts about them and the company. As far as looks go they are quite interesting when you see them in person. The leather is somewhat varied depending on the panel of the shoe. It varied from a matte, smooth finish to an almost shiny, cracked appearance. It wasn't too drastic but still something I noticed and seemed sort of odd. I wore them for about an hour in the house and you weren't kidding, the leather is THICC lol. They had a very "clompy" feel and were generally stiff. I can appreciate that this kind of leather will last a long time but these definitely don't have that sneaker feel, if that's what you're looking for. I also wore them to the mall for about an hour. After getting home I noticed the stitching that connects the upper to the toebox was unraveling, on both sides. Not good. I took pictures and sent them to Thursday and to my surprise they said they would send me a new pair immediately, free of charge! Even with the stitching issue I kept wearing them and noticed a few more things. The insoles are quite "slick" feeling and begin squeaking if you have even a slight amount of moisture...and you will as this leather is THICC:) They don't seem to absorb any of the moisture either. Could be a sock quality issue, who knows, but I haven't had this issue with any other shoes. I ended up buying some cork insoles and like them a lot better. The shoe also doesn't seem to break in easily as far as the stiffness of the leather goes. Yes, I've only been wearing them for a few months but it still feels like I'm wearing a low-top thick leather boot to be honest. Anyways, on to the new pair...they arrived about 2 weeks after my first pair and the first thing I noticed was that the leather was shiny, almost reflective, and had an obvious cracked, almost "scaly" appearance. Not at all like the first pair. I didn't like it and continued to wear the other pair until recently. Unfortunately, the stitching has gotten much worse and now I've noticed that the heel of the outsole has really begun to wear down. I've worn these maybe 15 times total and pretty much only inside at work on polished flooring. I've decided to start wearing the new pair, perhaps a good polish and conditioning will dull the sheen a bit. Anyways, sorry for the length of this post. I'm honestly very impressed with the company and their customer service. I've actually ordered a pair of the captain boots and may end up getting another pair of sneakers with some more supple leather. We'll see how it goes. Cheers!

Bought a high top version in black because of this video. Keep up the good work.

I think they are able to keep the cost down by using the same lather in there shoes as they do in there boots . That way they can make even bigger orders and get a bigger discount. Not just the leather but the lace holes and the leather laces. Also making in Mexico can be cheaper but it depends. Also like you mentioned they are more direct to consumers.

Being from the part of Mexico where Thursday products are made, the labor is cheap but it is known as the Leather Capital in Mexico. Only the best luxury Mexican brands get their leather products made there you will find "Shoes from Leon, GTO MX" advertising all over Mexico.

just ordered a pair in tan essex - thanks for posting this

I got them on order same shoe can’t wait to try them out thanks for the video

It would be interesting to see a dress shoe be cutted in half!

Yesterday I received my first pair of Thursday Boot men's white premier low top sneakers and so far I do like them. But I've noticed some differences with materials and the made in country (Portugal). The tongue is double leathered with padding in between, beneath the insole is a squishy white material. I was just curious as to what these materials may be. Because of your video I purchased a pair for myself and my wife. Thanks again, great work.

I have 4 pairs of greats and I wear them for work and play and I am blown away with Thursday leather quality and comfort, best bang for the buck.

I’m so excited to try mine on. They just came in this afternoon while I was at work, but they look just as good as I’d hoped in the box. Thanks for what you do man

I love Thursday boot company, just wish they would make the sole of those shoes a little thicker with more cushion for us big guys. Besides that I think those are dam good leather shoes !!

Bought myself a pair!

They are already on a waiting list! I have a pair of triple white Beckett Siminons and tan Ace Marks, so these are a no-brainer for my closet. I have three pairs of Thursday boots and dress shoes, so I can attest to the quality, fit, and value. They are just awesome!!

Love your video's ...! Great review....! I'm an old timer now and we didn't have these great reviews of shoes... We wore Penny loafers and Wing tips in HS and then added some Beatle boots when they hit the scene but it was by reputation... I bought a lot of Florsheims when they were top of the line... Still love shoes and have over 50 pair and thinking about a pair of these Thursdays in the natural Horween leather, as I already have a natural belt made with Horween leather...(Need another pair of shoes like a hole in the head but I love shoes)...LOL... GG... IN

You know I'm not really a fancy sneaker type of person ... I have Chucks and some shitty Sketchers but this is the first sneaker in your whole series that I have considered buying ... and not just because they are cheap! 😁

Gotta admit I assumed they were a shitty Instagram brand because they advertised there and I read some bad reviews, but this has convinced me to check them out. I'd love to see you cut up a Dalgado sneaker! Similar in looks. I can't really justify getting a Thursday cause I already have a v similar looking Dalgado, so be great to know if my choice was the right one lol

Neat looking shoe and well priced🙌🏻 maybe the best of the series. Great video to top it off

Rubber, leather, and foam. Not sure what I was expecting but I watched it. Good work. I have 3 pairs of Thursday boots.
