I can say firsthand, I haven't watched the video but I own these boots. I've worn them pretty much everyday for 3 years. They're on their second heel. I wore through the original heel pad until it was flapping off. Additionally, the leather in the heel counter area inside I have worn through. I use them to work on trucks, ride motorcycles, chop firewood, off roading etc along with everyday use. I condition them before every winter as we get snow here. Awesome boot, and I'll continue to wear mine until the upper fails. If you're interested, I could send some pictures of them if you'd like to see what hard wear has done to them over that time.

Can you do a what’s inside on motorcycle boots? Would love to see how they’re constructed!

With winter coming, can you do a series into winter boots? Insulated boots with lugs for snow. It's really hard to tell what is cheaply made when serious winter boots have such a msrkup to begin with.

Thank you for removing the laces instead of slicing them this time! I really appreciate your channel and the education it's providing me about footwear construction. Keep being amazing!

Rose Anvil hitting it out of the park with these reviews. These boots and the Wolverine’s were always on my wish list to get chopped. It’s like he read my mind!

Where I think the Thursdays Logger really excels is for a dress boot that looks the part of rugged. And while I own many of the real work/rugged boots, I've been looking for something similar I could everyday wear for time at the Office. Thursdays Logger is a winner for me.

I love how objective and informative these reviews are! So many reviewers will never go this in depth on products as it's just not worth the time and effort. This genuinely has influenced on what I want to buy for future shoes and boots. Bravo to the class, style, and meticulous effort to do all these tests. Reminds me alot of tech channels that really stress test their products while also give their objective opinion on the products. Nicely done and can't wait to see more reviews!

Love this new model. Definitely will add it to my wish list. Also, thanks for removing the laces before cutting the boot.

I love seeing the quality and care Thursdays put into the build. I was wondering about the women’s collection since you did a couple other women’s boots to see if there is a difference in quality. Great video!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for a quality boot at a reasonable price. Something that also fit my style. I went and checked out Thursday and love their stuff. Ordered a pair and can't wait to start wearing them. I've actually found several pairs I'm planning on purchasing.

Damn that’s really interesting. I’ve never been too impressed with the look of the1000 mile boots But to see that the American made Thursdays are just better built is crazy

Back when this channel was young you used to tear apart one of the boot halves and always commented on the individual quality of the parts…stitching, leather, sock liner, etc. Can you do that again? I think it’s really interesting seeing how easily a heel block pops off or how many nails are used in the construction.

I got the logger based off this video and after about a year of use I gotta say this boot has been superb. As shown in the video, it handles wear and tear very nicely and the scratches do add some nice character to color of the leather. They took about a week of pretty heavy walking to break-in but are now very comfortable and fit well. Speaking of fit I would recommend a half size down from what you typically wear in sneakers. The only minor gripe I have is that I had an aglet on the laces break within about 2 weeks of purchase but thats small caveat in an otherwise great boot.

I suspect the Redwing Iron ranger would win this mid range competition. At $350 they come in under the $400 price ranger you are targeting. The only other real competition I can think of would be the Whites Millwood or the Whites Chore Boot.

I really love Thursday boots. Whether they are made in Mexico or USA, they are excellent boots at a very reasonable cost.

Wow, this is the first Thursday boot I would consider buying. $285 is extremely impressive for the quality of materials, and I despise over-reliance on synthetic materials.

I bought the Vanguards a few years ago. Another made in USA boot from Thursday. I really like them.

I was waiting this video for over a year. Thanks

Great video, and just for the record I trust you’ll put out honest content so please keep taking sponsorships that you feel good about like this one!

Love these series you do, can’t wait for moctober! Got my first pair of boots because of that series last year.

Just got a pair of Thurday dress boots. Best dress shoes I've ever had. Broke them in during a work trip in England walking 2-3 miles on cobblestone and slate streets/sidewalks, and my feet never got tired. Really worth the price of entry.

I bought the Wingtip and the Captain a year ago and i must say, that these boots are the best that i have worn till this day. Great material for this price and the best comfort that i ever had. Looking for a next pair of the brand.

Always thank you for wonderful boots information!!

Love this new MITUSA list. Keep up the great work, Rose Anvil!!!

Good boots. Thank-you for saving the laces too. Interesting series.

Entertaining series! Looking forward to the next installment.

I thought I was two days late for a new segment lol thanks for another well produced, informative and entertaining video.

Love the no crap disappointments you let out in this one, like the split pig skin luchesse boots. Lol. Excited for this series dude. Keep em coming.

Been waiting for this series for awhile!

Recently picked up a pair of Loggers (thanks largely to this video) and I'm happy to report they seem to have made the top lift thicker and given it lugs, probably in response to this video.

Nice boot. Think i will look for them. Thanks for the review. Great content.

Thursday has been my favorite leisure boot company. First pair of boots I was highly impressed at the price point. I may have to check out these logger style.

Was interested in watching this as I bought a pair of these from Thursday a few years ago. This is my favorite boot for casual wear, glad to see it was money well spent! Very comfortable boot. I was going to say you should do Parkhurst next but I see they’re not producing in the US anymore.

Thanks so much for the review🙌

I just got my pair of loggers after watching this video. TheLogger is the best boot that tbc sells. The leather is super thick and so is the outsole. The outsole is like 1/2” of vibram so it’s super padded when walking around the forefoot. I love any and all boots with a toe cap and out of all my Thursday boots these are my favorite for the simple reason of the leather, the Cuban heel stack, and the thick outsole. TBC definitely gives you the best materials your money can buy without it costing an arm and a leg. They are sexy, comfy, and nice Cuban heel. I was trying to compare the 1k mile boots vs the Loggers and I picked the Loggers because of the look, the leather, the heel stack and the fact it does have a shank whereas the 1k miles don’t have a shank. The 1k miles are well over $100 more and the quality is NOT there. I like the 1k mile boots too but they don’t have any with a toe cap in stock with a heel like the Logger. I have found that plain toed boots don’t break in as well and doesn’t look as good as cap toe boots worn in. I think the cap toe hides a lot of the creases compared to the plain toed boots. Just mo.

Great video, loving this series!

I've been waiting for this! Thanks Weston.

Another great video Weston. Bring on the rest!

Another great video Weston, I love my Thursday Vanguard Made in the USA with the Horween Blue Indigo leather boot.

I’m sold. Excellent review ! Thanks🥃

The Frye Prison Boot is a great boot for this series. It claims to be a made in the US boot and they claim to be a heritage brand! Definitely consider it.

I'd love to see a video on $400 or less steel toe/composite toe work boots.

LOVE that you’re doing the snake bite test on the shafts!!!!!

Love the channel. Have you seen any changes in the construction after you cut them apart? Like adding a full sock liner to the 1000 mile, or adding better leather liners like in the Lucchese?

I love that style of leather on the Thursday Logger. Its beautiful yet rugged as hell and thick. Now if only the cap toe was real so I could use it when I'm working down low or on my motorcycle. The insole not being removable sucks but if its like the Mexico version at all it should be comfortable right out of the box. I definitely like it more than the 1000 mile boot.

Another Successful Boot Surgery, good evaluation Doc!!

Hey weston! It'd be interesting to see what's inside "hunting" and winterized leather boots, like the irish setters by example!

I've owned these loggers for over a year and I like them a lot. My only complaints are with the identity confused design - like the fact that they have the dress style heel top lift, it is an 8 inch boot with no speed hooks, and as you can see at 8:27 they have no tongue gusset at all, so even though they have good waterproof materials and construction, if any water splashes on the laces it goes right into the boot. At least the heel and hooks can be fixed by a cobbler, not sure about the gusset though. Overall they are great materials and build quality, but I would change those few things if I had my way. The Whites Sawyer probably would have been better for what I wanted, for ~$100 more.

Get a bi-metal blade with around 14 tpi for your new bandsaw blade & get it in as wide of a blade that your saw is designed to use. That should quickly & easily cut through the boots & shoes you use it for while being able to safely handle cutting through the steel shanks.

I like the look and value of Thursdays. I've owned two pairs, but I ended up selling both because they are just super narrow and I never could get them stretched enough to be comfortable. I even contacted them about sizing before ordering and just never could get them comfortable. It was a shame.

I have these same boots in the Vanguard. The upper is just a bit shorter, but not a short as a Chukka. I absolutely LOVE them. I own them and a pair of Presidents. The raised heel is a BIT different, but the construction of the boot is insanely good. I love boots, so I was looking at some others, SPECIFICALLY the 1000 Mile Boot. I am glad I came across your last video, because I don't need to spend money. I already have the superior boot and am happy with it! Also for me, they fit true to size. I wear an 8.5 in shoes and these!

After wearing them for 2 days the Logger is super comfortable and it doesn’t crease as bad as the Mexican made boot like the captains. I bought some Nick’s leather laces and it matches perfectly. I can’t wait until I can get the nap to show through. It’s definitely the best Thursday boots ever made. Definitely better than the 1000 mile boots or with any other boot under $400.

Just got my Vanguard color # 8 today! Really excited

I'm still in the 200 and under price range but if I can swing it I'll definitely take a good look at the American Thursdays. Good video.

Looks like a solid effort. Thanks!

Those Thursdays look sharp! Love that leather.

I like the thursdays but I wish they would have used a vibram top lift and gusseted the tough a little. Also I want to see the JK 300 boots on this list

I like it when you mention the fit and feel, be cool if you could mention those in the next ones. Even if its just like a half hours wear to get a feel for the toe box and flex etc.

For the price, I've no complaints. Comfy and stylish, I don't use them for rough work, got my Whites BHs for that.

I got the thursday captain based on that tear down, and was going to get a second pair in another leather, but after seeing this I had to order a pair of these loggers. Really impressed with the leathers they use

appreciate YOUR vids, Sir !!! i dont buy me next shoes without find it on your Vid first !

I was thinking, Wow! Cut in half expert was struggling to cut this boot without taking the laces off, this must be one hell of a boot. And then came the disclaimer about the band saw 👏

Great video as usual! Solid comparison, and fairly-measured. Have three types of 1K boots, and like them all. It was the first, and maybe the only pair I have I bought new. I was always struck by the thinness of the leather outsole. I had Tulsa Shoe Rebuilders re-sole one pair with a fine pair of Dr. Soles outsoles, which increased their use and durability x 10. However, it’s undeniable that this Thursday has some great components, and that leather is gorgeous. I’m beginning to feel that waxed flesh is becoming my favorite leather in my boot corral. I picked up a pair of Wesco Warrens in INDIGO waxed flesh, which are a stunning pair of boots. Wesco suggests Leather Honey for a conditioner, which-as your advert for them says-“does not darken the leather” as much. I like this as I hate to see the leather on a pair of my boots lose their leather’s “depth” be lost to conditioner. I won’t let that happen with these Wesco boots, as the leather is just too pretty in Indigo. However, Thursday’s heel stack on this video is just looks abominable. That creepy texturing looks like plastic. If I copped a pair of them, I’d break out the sandpaper immediately. They’d look phenomenal “done up” like some of these swank-looking Indo-Boots, with that shiny heel/sole job they do!

I’d love to see you do a tear down of Thursday’s women’s boots. Are they as good as their men’s?

Ive had these for a month now and i love them. Great boot.

I got excited when I saw the acronym… I thought you might be taking to my alma mater.

Could you try puncturing the same hide of leather from both sides? I suspect having to push through the intertwined fibres of the flesh out side makes it tougher to get to/break through through the grain side, while on the other the hand if you slice through the grain side, that fibre structure falls apart, possibly explaining why rough out would have a greater puncture resistance

Good video. I would be (very) interested in some of the Truman's out of Oregon. I have two pair theirs and I love them.

Love your channel! Subbed and addicted. Love Thursday Boots. Have several pairs. I have the U.S. made Vanguard version of this boot. Identical. But shorter. Incredible value at the price. Horween, wax fleshed leather, Vibrwm sole. Cuban stacked heel. Wore it yesterday. LOVE this boot! Keep up the great work with your videos!

the non-gussetted tongue is very weird to me. Also even if it's a "dress" logger boot the fake toecap is disappointing

Thank you for the visual representation of the ranking. My favorite part of your older series videos was the recap video at the end to officially close the series and group all the good and bad in one spot for easy choice making in a boot purchase. (Maybe the group in depth recap could be on Rose Anvil 2 channel) It was because of all your videos that I made the best footwear choice of my life so far, in purchasing a pair of nicks builder pro about 5 months ago. Keep up the content, really enjoy these boot series.

Been waiting for this one

U just helped me decide on these boots over the 1000 mile. Love you content man! How about the Sutro Alder Vibram?

Great vid Weston. I’ve owned a pair of these Thursday loggers since early 2020 and worn them ~4 times a week since. I know a lot of people hate that stacked heel look but I love these boots, especially how that waxed cacao leather wears in. My main 3 complaints are the fake toe cap, thin top lift and un-gussetted tongue (tongue slid to the side while wearing). After 2.5 years I just replaced the top lift with a thicker one, and fixed the tongue in place with a small rivet. They’re also my most complimented boots. Would recommend for casual wear.

I have both versions of the Thursdays Captain - the regular (made in Mexico) and the vanguard (made in USA) and I can fully agree. The few extra bucks for the vanguards is well spent money. The leather of the regular version is by no means a bad leather, but it's a bit thinner and tanned in another way. Also the soles on the cheaper ones had to be repaired three times already, since they use softer rubber that wears off faster and tends to detach from the tip of the toes over time. The made in Mexico boots are still in very good condition and will last me a few more years, but if you compare the money spent on those repairs then you'd be better off on just buying the vanguards. Both great boots for the price tho.

I hit my vanguards with Saphir renoveteur when i got them and they are amazing boots. Very comfortable

I have the French Roast Vanguard, which is Thursday's other American made boot. They look great and I love the boots. I think they will age really well. They can dress up but they also really have a quality and weight to them that makes them really feel like good boots. I think the Horween leather options for the Logger and Vanguard make them stand out from the Captain. And they come with fully leather laces and the waxed ones also. So you can use either.

These boots look so cool!!!

Also love the top gear metal board with magnets haha

Dude another video same week? What a treat.

For this series please include Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill Chromexcel 🤙they are always on sale under 400

These are very nice, Love the leather.

Thanks for your video on this-just bought my very first pair of nice Thursday boots based on your recommendation! I'm wearing them and I'm wondering...what would these look like cut apart??

I need a pair of the boots you wear in the intro! 👍😮

Might not fit perfectly but my favorite pair of boots is Truman boots. They are an absolute tank and the 20 last feels made for my foot.

Can't wait to see the lap times of the other boots.

Love this series! Can you do a review of Thursday Vanguard French Roast? They cost $265 and are Horween Chromexcel. It would be interesting to see how they stack up to The 1000 Miles and The Logger.

First of all, I’ve been loving this channel! So much great information and great vibes! So I’m picking up a pair of loggers and I was wondering what the difference between the Arizona Adobe and the waxed Cacoa. I chose the Arizona Adobe but after watching this video I’m starting to think I should have gone with the Waxed Cacoa. Is there a significant difference in durability between the two leathers? I’m pretty rough on my boots and want to make sure It last awhile.

Love my Thursday sneakers. The company definitely seems quality. But my Whites are my go to boots. Wouldn’t mind a nicer dress up style from Thursday

Hi love your show I found some Paladium canvas boots in a thrift shop and to my surprise 2 years latter they are still going strong half of that time I was a bicycle messager in Sydney where I thrashedem . I had never heard of this brand before .

I'm excited to see the Origin boot analysis.

I'm convinced, totally grabbing some Thursdays! Thanks for the hard work and effort you put into making these videos man! Can you test the Ariat Moctoes for Moctober?

These are the first ones I’d really consider buying

Another solid video

Grabbed a pair of Vanguards, love em'!

Huge fan of the MITUSA. As a broke forester this is very helpful.

Weston, you get better looking every video. Oh, and your videos are great too. Lol

Awesome series! Can you compare a new pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers? Thanks

Thursdays just the reasonably priced gift that keeps on giving
