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.

@TheComebackKid made a comment in GYW about why I don't like TBC a few years ago. TBC sent me this message.

The Thursday guy showing up to defend himself on MFA was a real fever dream
TMNY
TMNY16mo ago
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
Sal
Sal16mo ago
They're not exactly putting that money to good use
TMNY
TMNY16mo ago
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
TMNY
TMNY16mo ago
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

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
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae16mo ago
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
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae16mo ago
Some of their women’s boots are GYW, some are cemented, but IIRC they all say “stitched”
TMNY
TMNY16mo ago
It used to be that they were all cemented Women's only
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae16mo ago
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
jawntanamo_bae
jawntanamo_bae16mo ago
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

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?
TMNY
TMNY16mo ago
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?

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 😂
