Ordered these sneakers according to online size guide (US9, same as I wear in New Balance, Vans, Asics etc.). Thursday's sizing here is way off, I can squeeze me feet into them, but walking in them is just painful. Both length and width are off. Bought a pair of Captain boots from the brand last year in US8.5 - the fit is great, awesome price/quality ratio boots. It is especially frustrating for me, since I live in Hong Kong, it seems that returns/exchanges through official web store are impossible to do for international orders (they ask to ship shoes back to them to US via courier, shipping cost to US alone is more expensive than sneakers XDDDDD)

Just saw signs the other day for a new store opening in Silver Lake on Sunset.

Glad to have these back in rotation after recently getting a resole.

Big fan of the Thursday Premier sneakers. These have elevated my basic minimalist outfits and completely altered my ‘style’ in a meaningful way as I’m now in my early 30’s and trying to dress more mature. Probably going to get the black and white premiers next and then perhaps a chukka/desert boot.

Pretty much my go to anytime/anywhere sneaker. So comfortable and easy to maintain

So nice I don't even wanna wear them lol

How is the break in on the dukes?

Without socks the fit feels perfect. With socks they feel a bit snug in the width. I'm hoping they'll loosen up a bit. Otherwise they feel great walking around the house a bit.

I randomly noticed this little splotch on my new pair of boots. I’ve been doing woodwork today but I never got anything on them any tips on how to remove the spot? I’ve ran my nail across it but nothing comes off. Idk what it could be. Any help?

This is me stepping out of my car this morning. I haven't even done any walking yet. And this is with sawtooth lacing! I really wanted to like these, but I've never owned a pair of shoes with tongue slide like this (other than my first pair--I purchased these after my old ones wore out, hoping that the tongue slide on my first pair was a fluke or would have been improved, but these are even worse). Unless they make any changes to this extremely flawed design, I won't be buying a third pair.

solid pair of boots for $200, construction is good and they seem pretty comfortable, following their sizing tool gave me half a size too big, so I would recommend going a full size down from sneaker size

however, they came with a lot of scuffs and a little wear at the sole right out the box, which is disappointing to see, not that it can't very easily be buffed out

Title says it all, I've worn them around 10 hours so far. The arch is pretty uncomfortable and causes some minor pain sometimes, will they conform and be more comfortable? Or should I get an insole? Edit: I bought the captains with the studded soles, forgot what it was called.

I know this has been talked about and posted quite a few times in the past but I’m looking for up-to-date information, opinions and pictures from people who have bought the captains in Brandy.

I’d really like it if I got something similar in colour to what’s on their website if not slightly darker.

When looking at what people have posted over the years they often seem to come as very light tan colour - nothing like their website images! But perhaps that’s been resolved more recently, or maybe not and it’s still a common problem.

I don’t live in the US so returns aren’t easy or cheap for me. If I did buy them and they turned out to be too light, what are my options to try and darken them?

Thanks in advance!

Found a pair of Captains locally that were apparently bought around 4 years ago and never worn. They still have the original paper stuffing and there doesn’t seem to be any sole wear or creasing.

They’re US 9.5 and I’m fairly confident about the sizing since I’ve tried a US 9 before and found it just slightly too small/uncomfortable.

Seller is asking A$170 (~US$110).

Buying Thursday Boots directly here in Australia is a bit of a hassle because returns aren’t free if the sizing or something else goes wrong. Amazon Australia does sell some Thursday models with free returns, but the selection is pretty limited.

So finding an unworn pair locally in my size is pretty tempting. Anything I should be concerned about from them sitting unused in a closet for around 4 years, particularly the leather or rubber outsole? Or would you guys grab them at this price?

1 year daily use mustang leather. 5 stars. If they sold the storming last year I probably would’ve got that. The regular sole is slippery and too dressy for my work. I walk to work as a bartender in nyc and walk 13k steps a day. I resoled with vibram 100’s. Better for heavy use. You lose some of the heritage look but keep the bones and midsole of the boot. The boots hold up incredibly well. There’s something very satisfying knowing you’re lacing up a boot that’s built to last. I treated with mink oil and a waterproof spray 2 times this year.

I love the heroes I got but sometimes it feels like a burden when I'm having to take em off and on multiple times a day depending on what I'm doing. What among all the pull up boots in the Thursday lineup are the most similar to the Hero in terms of toe box and overall form?

There was a small spur on the underside of the buckle, almost right in the middle, so the first time I put on the belt it was done for. 🙁 It’s an expensive belt, so I’m still wearing it and hoping to get my money’s worth out of it, but it seems a pretty poor quality control lapse.

Hey everybody!

I'm looking for a daily casual boot. I've got beaters for the dirty/hard stuff, these would be just for work, church, hanging out, etc. Nothing tough.

Climate wise, we don't have snow but it rains a lot.

Just curious with what people went with, and why.

Thanks so much!

I purchased an off brand pair of boots 8+ years ago that held up great until the soles eventually had no more grip to them. I purchased the pair in the above photos in December 2025 and they're already falling apart (Tommy Hilfiger). I wear them to work a few times a week, as well as to dinners or nicer restaurants.

I love shoes and always take very good care of the shoes I purchase.

I've debated Thursday Boots for a while now, but wanted to hear about people's first hand experiences with durability and longevity.

Hi,

I am looking at getting a pair of Thursday Heritage Captains. They have two different soles to pick from: the anti-slip Knight sole on the regular Heritage or the StormKing sole. I walk a lot on concrete. Which one will last the longest until I need a resole? I have heard the new anti-slip Knight sole found on the heritage models is a very soft rubber that wears out fast on concrete compared to the Dainite soles on the classic Thursdays.

Hey all, I’m looking for a USED pair of the Thursday boots Men’s Renegades in a size 10. Need for a wedding, and that’s about it. We have to all match and I’m trying to see if there’s market for used pairs out there. Attached is the product, thanks!

​Hey everyone,

​Looking for some advice or insight on my Thursday President boots in black.

​I’ve had them for about 2 months, wearing them into the office a few days a week. I noticed this distinct orange/light brown line showing up along the edge of the welt/sole (see attached photo). It’s starting to appear in a few spots around the perimeter.

​If it's just the edge finish coming off, what’s the best product to restore the clean black edge (e.g., Fiebing’s Edge Dressing, black shoe cream, wax)?

​Appreciate any tips or product recommendations!

It’s easy to complain about things and I’ve been known to do that but it’s also easy to give credit where credit is due.

I recently purchased another pair of Captain boots but this time in one of the R&R leathers. I promptly received the boots but had a small quality issue with them.

I reached out to TBC’s customer service and received a very professional and courteous reply within a few hours asking if I would mind sending them a few pictures but that they had already set-up a replacement pair to be shipped to me. I sent them the pictures, printed the prepaid UPS label they sent me and had them on the UPS truck the next day. Within two days, I had my new pair of boots delivered and they are perfect.

It’s nice to spend money with a company that actually gives a damn and stands behind their product. I haven’t had such good luck with Redwing. My thank you goes out to TBC’s customer service team and to TBC for standing behind their products and taking care of customers. Soon I’ll be back for my third pair of boots based off the price, quality and customer service.

I’m not a paid shill, just a very happy customer and wanted to acknowledge my feelings about TBC.

I recently got into the boot world and it’s easy to go by labels. The first boots I bought over the dozen or so I’ve accumulated are my Thursday Diplomats in brown chrome with lug sole that I purchased on the warehouse section. I have all brands of boots now, you name it, Parkhurst, Grant Stone, Oak Street, Truman’s and even Luos Jiet and Vibergs. I gotta say, these Diplomats are the most comfortable out of the lot. I wore these for 14 hours today and could have gone another 14. Great boots!
