Thursday Boot Company

I've had these for a couple of months now. I own better boots, but they cost twice as much. With these, the leather is a little thinner, and the rubber is a little harder, and some seams might not be triple stitched, but all in all, it checks the boxes for a good city boot. They wouldn't be my choice of boots for slogging through slush, or tramping through the bush, but they're very wearable on a day to day basis. They're comfortable enough to wear all day at the office, or to walk many kilometres in a city, where a big stompy boot is going to be excessive. The rugged and resilient leather in Tobacco is a nice sharp oiled leather, which might not be something to wade through ditches with but it does a great job of beading and repelling water. It broke in easily, and scuffs tend to disappear with a bit of rubbing with one's fingers, which is handy because I often wear these while cycling and I'm always banging them against the pedals. The cut is sharp and trim, and lends itself well to being dressed up a bit even if not a proper dress shoe. And even if they're a city boot, they're not flimsy. If you use shoe trees and let them dry out between wearings, clean them, and apply a little Cobbler's Choice leather protector from time to time, the uppers should last a good long time and it's just a matter of getting a cobbler to put a new sole on them when they wear out. In terms of sizing, I've found that the best fit is my true Brannock size, where with many Goodyear welted shoes and boots I'm a half size down. This sees to boil down to the last used by Thursday for this boot being a little less roomy in the toes, perhaps relating to the focus upon a very trim style. I think Thursday has done a pretty good job here. It's a real leather boot. There's better leather out there, but this one is good. There's better soles out there, but this one is good (and an actual 360 degree Goodyear welt with a cork bed midsole).

I’m regularly a size 10.5 in shoes so I ordered the 10.0 as advised. When I received the 10.0 it felt a little too snug on my feet. I then ordered the 10.5 which I received today and they fit perfectly. The boots themselves are perfect! Look and feel great! I hope there won’t be any issue with me returning the size 10 as they were not worn. Overall very satisfied that I chose Thursday Boots! UPDATE: boot return went extremely smooth

Just received my pair of Captains in Arizona Adobe. I took the companies advice and ordered on half size smaller. I am a size so I ordered size 9 1/2. These boots feel great right out of the box. The look is amazing and they start to form to your feet right away. I like to keep things for a long time. I bought my last pair of boots bout 7 years ago so I want things to last. These look like they will last a long time.

First purchase of boots from any company, did a bunch of research and watched online reviews and rankings of boots and decided to pull the trigger on Thursday Boot Company's Captain boots. I initially ordered the brandy boots in my true size (12) and returned them because they were too large. When I re-ordered, I decided to go with the Arizona Adobe and 11.5 and the boots both look and fit great. I wore them to a conference with jeans and a blazer and it they were a perfect combination for a more formal business casual look. I plan to wear these with both jeans and suits and I am very happy with my purchase. The boots are comfortable, fit well in having sized down half a size and appear to be well-constructed through and through. I received several compliments wearing these my first time from both friends and strangers. The price is also super great on these.

I prefer boots over shoes even for dress wear. I bought these boots for dress wear and I have worn them about 20 times. They look nice and are light and comfortable to wear. Very little break-in needed. They are not as quick to get on and off as dress shoes but I knew that would be the case. I bought my normal dress shoe size 8 and they were a perfect fit. Quality is good and they are holding up well. The flat waxed laces are a nice touch. This is my first pair of boots from Thursday Boots and they are exactly what I wanted.
