Thursday vs Nicks Boots | The Pacific Northwest Challenger Boot Review

* Team Nicks: https://stridewise.com/nicks-handmade-boots-urban-logger/ * Team Thursday: https://stridewise.com/thursday-challenger-boot/ * Full article + pics: https://stridewise.com/thursday-challenger-review-nicks-boots/ Thursday has taken aim at the Pacific Northwest boot — but what does that mean? The world of boots has a lot of sub-categories and then there are the SUB-sub-categories like World War service boots, midwestern work boots, and then the Pacific Northwest boots: meaty monsters typified by big heels, stitchdown construction, and multiple midsoles. (There are exceptions, of course.) Nicks Handmade Boots is one such "PNW" brand and their Urban Logger is meant to be a fusion of legit loggers and more city-friendly casual boots, and the first release from Thursday's ultra fancy Black Label Collection is their own take on the hybrid PNW-city boot. They're calling it the Challenger, and I wore both to give you my thoughts. 00:00 Intro 00:41 What's a Pacific Northwest Boot? 01:54 What's a city boot? 02:37 What is Thursday's Black Label Collection? 03:49 Thursday's Challenger vs Captain 06:00 Thursday's Black Label leathers 08:14 Goodyear welt vs Goodyear welt construction 09:06 Thursday vs Nicks boots 12:02 Thursday vs Nicks price 13:53 wrapping up
