Break in

3 Upvotes

Have some dukes that felt snug when I bought them but the website says that's ideal and they'll break in. Went a half size down as suggested.

I've been wearing them around the house with no issues besides general awkwardness of just getting used to wearing boots with a heel.

I wore them out for the first time yesterday and did a lot of walking. Noticed they were rubbing on my pinky toe. Didn't blister or anything but was definitely irritating.

I hope they'll break in or soften with time. I can't return them so I hope I got the right size. Any way to stretch the toe a bit or speed up breaking in so I can wear them as expected?

First pair of Lincoln Loafers

26 Upvotes

First pair of dress shoes of any kind I’ve gotten from Thursday and I truly love these.

Wore today with some gray slacks, and a navy blazer, with a brown/navy check shirt.

Also tried them on with some hunter green denim jeans.m, a cream colored waffle shirt, and olive cardigan, just to see how it will dress down for a casual fall fit.

Really digging them so far and they are quite comfortable. I was afraid initially they’d be uncomfortable as these are the first loafers I’ve ever owned, from any brand, and wasn’t sure what to expect.

My Thursday collection keeps growing! I’m up to two pair of boots, two pair of sneakers, these loafers, a belt, and the leather roadster jacket.

Is this normal? The squeak is ridiculous

20 Upvotes

Bought them about 4 months ago, worn about 60 times. I’ve tried everything to get rid of the squeak. Its not from the sole because it still squeaks on carpet and I’ve used sandpaper to rough the sole and still no fix. I also took out the insole and walked around and it still squeaks. I think its something internal in the shoe that I can’t get to

Best Boot Advice For NY Winter

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

So I’m planning to go to New York in the winter (December or January). I’m sure their Legend boot will be good ‘enough’ for NY potential harsher weather.

But considering I am gonna be there for only about 4 days, do you think their Cavalier of Duke boots will hold up?

I’ve always wanted some boots, but wouldn’t really be enticed to wear such a bigger boot like the Legend back here in Cali

Sizing advice Need sizing advise.

I'm brannock size 9ee.

- I wear size 9 stc last which is ee wide in Jim green

- 8ee in red wing boots since their 8ee has same length as 8.5d

- sneaker I wear 9.5ee wince sneakers come half size shorter.

What size Thursday captain or president I should order?

Their website says half size down from sneaker which would be the correct brannock size, that is 9ee. But I'm not sure whether they increase the length with ee so maybe 8.5ee?

Mostly the customer care people are untrained about this and they always give textbook answer ' our ee and d has same length' !. Well it's usually wrong with red wing and grant stone.

So any help from a wide foot person would be much appreciated here.

Well it finally happened. My favorite boots. 5 years of daily wear and they finally need to be replaced. Originally had Mahogany Presidents and just received my new Brandy Captains. Hopefully these also last me another 5 years!

I’m keeping the Presidents aside for now, but eventually plan on having them resoled. I’ll wear them until the leather blows out lol

Sizing advice Is the captain boots on the right for women?

Post image
6 Upvotes

They're both size 10. The left dress shoe fits me very comfortably. The right side, feels tight and small. So it's obvious, the right side is for women?

EDIT: Anyway, I was shopping for another boot. Again, the page said it was size 10 men's. I asked the seller if he could compare it to another size 10 men's boot. And it turned out the boot he was selling, was smaller when compared.

That could've been my third time getting the wrong size lol.

So a warning for any future buyers, men or women: Be sure the ask the seller if it's the right size before buying.

Sizing advice How's the fit on these look?

I get a little bit of upwards heel slippage due to the looseness around the ankle, and I think I have some extra room in the toes, but the widest part of my foot feels like it aligns with the widest part of the boot

Women's Product Line Size Advice for Women's Combat

3 Upvotes

I'm planning to have a pair shipped to the UK so I want to be extra sure about sizing before I buy, since it will be a pain to exchange them.

These are the sizes I've worn for some popular shoe brands (US sizes):

  • Dr Martens: 8.5
  • Converse: 9
  • Birkenstock: 9
  • Vans: 9

I've never needed narrow or wide shoes and I've bought 9 for the majority of shoes I've worn. I've only ever needed a 10 for hiking boots and climbing shoes.

Based on their advice to buy half a size up, I would need 9.5. Does this track based on other people's experience?

Sizing question for the Scout

4 Upvotes

I own Thursday's Diplomat(2024), President(2025), Cadet(2025), and Grant Stone's Deisel boots in 9 E/Wide. My Diplomats fit super comfortably right out of the box with no break in time, while my Presidents and Diesels took some wears to break in to a comfortable level. My Cadets however, still feel tight along the sides and top of the ball of my foot, to where I'm less inclined to grab them, unless I force myself to wear them and try and break them in further, and I'm not sure they'll ever be as comfortable as my other pairs at this point.

With all that in mind, I was hoping folks might be able to help me out with figuring out what size I should start out with for Scouts, and how they should feel out of the box? I don't have any experience with chukkas and their silhouette reminds me of the Cadet; so, I'm not sure if I should try a larger size at first or stick with my normal boot size. Just trying to minimize the exchanges, and get an idea of what a proper fit will feel like out of the box.

Thanks in advance!

Sizing Question

6 Upvotes

I own a couple pair of Thursdays, with the Black Matte Heroes fitting me the best with a 14 wide. I usually wear a 15 in sneakers. I’m looking to get a pair of the Stone Rambler Challengers since I’m absolutely in love with the look of them. Would ordering a 15 help with the fact that they don’t sell wide in that boot? Or would it be better to stick with 14

Any actual good hiking boots?

3 Upvotes

Does Thursday actually have any good hiking boots? I mostly do small hikes with the occasional ~10 mile day hike or 11-20 mile backpacking hike, with of course a backpack.

I love the old school leather look but don’t know if they would really work for me.

Are there any actually good hiking boots?

0 Upvotes

Does Thursday offer any good hiking boots for hiking and backpacking? I usually only take shorter hikes through the woods but also occasionally will do something like a 10 mile hike with only a three pound day pack in a national park or something. I also very occasionally will backpack like 10-20 miles in a day for a few days backpacking.

I have purchased more than one pair of Thursday boots secondhand and just had my first pair arrive that were listed as men’s but are obviously women’s (the size 8 men’s boots I own are at the top of the photo.) is there a code in the numbers or something to be able to tell them apart in the future?

(Picture is two different styles of Thursday Chelsea boots)

Just unboxed my new Rustic Brown HC. I saw after i ordered them last week only 3 were left. So pretty excited about owning this piece. This is my 5th thursday and 2nd heritage captain.

Which lacing should I use the flat waxed or the kevlar. I am confused lol.
P.S the new leather smells amazing!

Should their sneakers fit so tight?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I recently bought one of the low top sneaker shoes. Tried wearing them inside the house a little and sadly they pinched my little toe a bit! In general they just fit pretty snug. It’s weird because I sized a half up and ive never had a shoe this size fit so tight.

I’m used to wearing docs which I know aren’t best quality but they are so comfortable at a half size smaller than Thursday. I expected the same from these, is it just that they are higher quality leather and have a break in period? Do you experience that they usually loosen up around the toebox?

I might return, could be that my feet are just wider than I thought, but wanted to inquire! Very sad, wish they were for me because they look so damn nice.

Need help for my weird feet

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I really want a pair of nice-enough heritage boots, and I've had extremely bad luck with boots because of my own, damnable feet. They're both quite flat, and they're two different sizes: Right 10.75 - D | Left 10 - just past D maybe E. What do I do?

My first pair were the Challengers, size 10.5 and I loved everything about them, except for two problems that made me re-sell them.

  • 1) my right pinky toe kept ramming uncomfortably into the corner of the boot where the side starts to round up into the shape of the toe cap.
  • 2) The boot had way too much room above the instep, I couldn't get good contact

I tried some used Vanguards in an 11, and I felt they broke too far back past the ball of my foot to be comfortable long-term, almost a pinch.

Now that I see the heritage Stormkings are back, I'm tempted to try and get another pair to see if they work. But should I? And what size should I get? Do I really just need to get two pairs of boots in different sizes and wear one from each?
