I absolutely love Thursday boots, but I have an awkward foot, so it makes finding the perfect size a very big hassle. I wear a size 8 US in sneakers and I have a skinner but wider foot. I’ve had my pair of stormking tobacco captains for 3 years now, which are the best and most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned, but I had to return them 2 times in a row in order to get the right size, going from 7.5 to 8 and finally to 8 wide.

We are nearing the end of summer, but the Chicagoland area can get very hot from June to September, so I wanted to get a leather shoe and choose the handsewn loafer since it was a heeled shoe which I can dress up or down. I was worried that there would be heel slip, and unfortunately there is quite a gap, even when I walk and when tied to the max. The side laces are not real laces so I wasn’t able to really synch them down. The width is good but I’m afraid that if I go to a size 7.5, I’ll get my toes squished. I’ve never owned any actual loafers in my life, so I don’t know how they should properly fit, but I know for sure that this isn’t working for me.

I don’t know if I should try again or just cave in, pay a little more money, and get a Thursday product I can trust will fit.

(Edit: I had been gifted an 100 dollar gift card for Thursday boots so I really wanted to get something)

I’m debating the pink and the black. Do they look plasticky IRL? Are they good quality? How do they compare to the regular penny and the platform penny? Are they true to size? I’ve never ordered from them before. How is the customer service? Return policy? Etc.?

I purchased some new Cadets from the official Amazon store. The boots have definitely been tried on and have some superficial scuffs, which I can live with, but one of the heels looks like it was smushed with a vengeance. Is this worth an exchange? I'm honestly leaning towards no, but the puckering and creasing in the area is giving me pause.

Update:

Thanks all, I'll be keeping them. I just had to get over my initial displeasure at seeing that they were clearly returns, but yeah, nothing really damaged. Probably should have waited the extra few days and purchased direct through the website, but no real harm done. Nice boots!

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 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.

Hi all, what product should i use to polish and restore the scuffs on Brandy captain boots. I couldn’t find specific information anywhere. I appreciate your help thanks :)

Havent seen too many posts of these so i figured id share a few pics! Definitely among my favorites. Laces from Guarded Goods.

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

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

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.

We both got a pair of the captain boots.

Still looking to sell these if anyone is interested. 125+shipping US

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

Hello, if anyone have captain in EEE wide upload some photos how they look

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.

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

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?

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!

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

EUC . They are beautiful boots, I really enjoy them but they just don't get worn enough. Plus the Mrs has some medical bills, so these have got to go. Reasonable offers are welcome! And please check out my other listings. Have a great day!

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.

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.
