The owners of TBC have been real weird to me. One told me they fired somebody at their showroom because of my experience but I've never been to their showroom.
Also their boots are meh
Oh whats the story there
I honestly have no idea. Lemme find the screen shots
@TheComebackKid made a comment in GYW about why I don't like TBC a few years ago. TBC sent me this message.
funniest thing i've read all day
The Thursday guy showing up to defend himself on MFA was a real fever dream
yeah, imo thursday boot company is okay
but to me the company was started by tech bros who wanted to make money and decided to settle on selling mediocre footware

They're not exactly putting that money to good use
oh yeah that was a fun one
true
Lol
I used to talk to gyw people a lot more and they were telling me the founders have an almost delusional confidence in their shoes
Yeah, I agree with that statement
When they released shoes that's where things went wonky
The leather choice+last choice+sole was weird combos
And the styles
Excuse you, this is the pinnacle of style
No plz
Trying to find pix of the shoes early on
They had a pay what you want structure where you could pay like $70
It was for black Friday or something
I’m assuming you very much got what you paid for
I will admit I bought the Thursday loggers without looking at the side profile because someone kept telling me they’re amazing and I was curious if they’re actually as good as $400 boots like they claim. They’re not. They’re barely $200 boots
Also their women's boots aren't a stitch construction
They may have changed that
Some of their women’s boots are GYW, some are cemented, but IIRC they all say “stitched”
It used to be that they were all cemented
Women's only
Looks like the cemented ones are not marketed as stitched anymore, at least
But on the other side of that if you look at a men's boot and you want the women's version bc smaller feet or something the. You go from welt to cement
And might not notice
Plus their schtick is supposed to be about their construction
It has to be because their lasts are unforgivably awful
Tbh most people wouldn’t notice and most people wouldn’t care because they’re not going to get a resole. Still, if I was spending $200 on a boot, cemented construction would feel rude
Wish we still had access to modmail re his heavily implied threat to sue.
God imagine if he actually did
That would've been a way better going out story
Aw man he never threatened to sue GYW
TBC is garbage buy Meermin or Grant stone instead
I love when people would post reviews and trash their boots and Thursday would reply in almost every thread lol
Them letting you know they fired an employee based on non-existent 'feedback' and then following that with "Happy Labor Day" is peak USA lol
It really is

If I basically just wear my shoes walking from my house to my car and casually walking around the city are Thursdays a good option for their price range?
They're just okay. I'm more of a sneaker guy if that's what I'm doing activity wise
Why spend $200 on junk right-wing shoes when you could buy much better Grant Stones or Meermins or Rancourt or Rider Boot Co. or used Aldens or Quoddy or yuketens for the same thing?
Myrqvist, Yanko, Skoak, Fugashin, the list goes on….
Right wing?
You mean like wing tip
Politically
Damn I’ll look it up
There's a link here too the thread on MFA
Ben Shapiro’s gotta wear shoes too ya know
You expect him to wear woke boots?
Yes
Thursdays have some of the worst lasts I’ve ever seen. I’d go with almost any other brand for a more comfortable shoe.
I'd be interested in some inspo around this kind of boots, though. I bought similar ones from Bobbies a few years ago and I don't wear them anymore. Lack of inspo, I guess.
Thursday is more fashion-oriented — I think they have some okay fits in their various instas.
For more workwear, there’s a huge subculture of vintage denim / jackets / etc that probably maxes out with @almostvintagestyle, and probs a more generally wearable middle ground with @dirtbag_aesthete in Instagram.
For more upscale stuff (read: not Thursdays), there’s oodles of dress shoe content from Kirby Allison and many others over the years.
I checked and i'm much more into what dirtbag does than almostvintagestyle
AVS is very hardcore haha
But the brands he buys from are all good brands. It’s just the styling he selects that tends to make it less accessible
Same with dirtbag, minus the inaccessibility
Look like my style is more aligned with dirtbag too
Avs stuff is cool to look at sometimes but i feel hot most of the time looking at his post 😂
whats dirtbags IG?
