ThursdayBoot Company Men's Captain Cap Toe Lace-up Boot

If you live in the UK don’t size down. Order your true size. I usually wear a size UK 9 and know they fit as I already own a pair . I wanted another pair in a different colour so ordered a size 9 uk (us 9.5) and also uk 9.5 (us 10). Amazon sent me a US size 9 which equates to uk 8.5 by accident but I know it would be too tight from a previous purchase experience so there was no point of even trying them on. I kept the size 9.5 because these are slim fitting boots and I wanted just a little more room for thicker socks. If you have a slim/medium width foot buy your true size. If you have medium/wide width foot then go half size up; this will allow for a thicker sock in the winter. Either size will fit depending how much extra room you want. They do look brilliant; they have a very good profile/last and are very versatile and can go with either jeans or chinos/trousers. They are not too chunky but not as slim as some dress boots which I find too slim. The quality is okay. We are so spoilt in the uk as there are so many fine shoe brands from Northampton. I have boots from Loake, Barkers, Trickers etc and compared to these brands the quality is not as good when you compare the stitching and leather quality if you examine them side by side. I would rate the Thursday boots as 7 out of 10 and our UK Northampton brand boots between 8 to 10 depending on which model you buy. The creasing on Thursday boots are more noticeable when compared to our Uk boots. You can see more ripples on them. However for style and the way they look I rate the boots 9 or 10 as they are a really nice looking boots. I am just waiting for my refund and I will buy another pair in a different colour. I just hope this time Amazon sends me a UK size 9 which is what I ordered instead of a US size 9. I would condition the boots immediately to avoid the creasing ripple effect. Use a spray conditioner if you are buying the rough and rugged models. I also hope Amazon stock the other colours/model in the UK9 or UK9.5 as there is not much choice; Amazon please sort this out. I intend to buy more in other colours. The price is also reasonable compared our UK Northampton shoes and boots. I would wear the Thursday boots every day and Northampton boots on special occasions. Thursday boots are everyday boots that are comfortable, reasonable good quality, extremely versatile, very handsome. Every stylish man should have at least a Thursday Captain boots in their arsenal.

These feel and look like really nice quality boots, however the advice to buy 1/2 size smaller is strange. I take a UK10 and I followed my instinct and ordered the correct size, tried the boots on and they were tight across the foot at the base of the tongue, and also depth between the base of my foot to the area behind my toes. I have returned these Captains and couldn't get the size larger in Captains but also liked the looks of the President which I have ordered because they do look and feel nice boots. The UK 11 in Presidents were too big unfortunately, so these also had to be returned.I have now got a UK 10.5 on my feet in the captain, these feel snug and I am sure that these will be the right boot size for me, which again makes the go down 1/2 a size strange, I've had to go up 1/2. I'm going to wear them in the house for a few days before the ultimate decision as to keeping them which I do hope I do, if not then that'll be an end to this make of boot for me. I'll update in a few days, but must say I do like these boots aesthetically and the way they look to be built well (fingers crossed).

Black matte 7uk/7.5usI was in the market for a pair of new boots and after some research on YouTube, Thursday seemed like the way to go as they received almost universal praise. Here are my thoughts :Quality/Construction- Reasonably thick leather upper, free of marks or scratches which is always positive.- Pretty standard round laces that apparently are Kevlar reinforced….Annoyingly they tend to come loose for me a lot..- Eyelets and two speed hooks- Leather heel stack and rubber top lift- Goodyear welt construction, which from my limited knowledge on the subject means the boot can be easily re-soled- Black studded rubber sole- Leather insole with nice soft leather liningOverall I felt that the quality of the boot was great, no issues there at all. Easily the highest quality boot I’ve ever owned. Can’t really comment on how waterproof they are with much authority but I’ve worn them in fairly heavy rain a few times now and my feet have remained dry. I would say that unless you are treading through puddles or streams or something you should be fine.Style- Medium profile- Black matte leather- Toe cap style stitching on the…toe….shocking.I have had Dr Martens in the past and I’ve always felt that they were quite bulbous around the toe and had no real shape to them, all the review videos I watched on YouTube remarked that the captain boot had a slim silhouette - a big selling point for me. Once I opened the box and actually saw the boot in the flesh I was a little disappointed, I wouldn’t say that it’s slim or low profile at all. It has a slimmer profile than a Doc Marten boot but I certainly wouldn’t really describe the profile as slim.I ordered the matte black leather version of the boots, which at the time I felt would be the most versatile and I think they look great, very understated and don’t draw a lot of attention which I like. It remains to be seen how they will age and patina over time…hopefully nicely. The type of leather is also very resistant to scratches and marks, I think this is due to the leather being quite oily, which is an added bonus.Comfort/Fit- 7uk/7us- Solid, stiff upper and soleI usually take a 7.5-8 in trainers and usually a 7 in boots. I ordered a uk 7 and received a us 7.5 (as expected) and they fit me very well and for he most part are very comfortable. I do think the YouTubers making videos on these boots do exaggerate the comfort level somewhat but they are certainly comfortable boots. For me the break in period was pretty rough, it took around about a week of daily wear to “break” them in and get them to a point where they didn’t hurt me. Perhaps I just have delicate feet or ankles but I had several blisters for the first couple of days. One issue that I did notice, which could be totally unique to me, was that the left boot in particular for whatever reason was very uncomfortable for the first few days and rubbed against my ankle bone ALOT.Sole/ Grip- Adequate grip in good conditions- Poor grip in bad conditions- Sole is slim in profileThe grip level has been the biggest let down for me with these boots, it is adequate in dry weather but as soon as it rains or I’m on a less than rough surface the grip is very weak. I regularly find myself sliding all over the place while just walking around city centre…ground. I have not slipped to the point of falling over yet but I fear it will come and it will likely be embarrassing. I’ve never had a grip issue with any other boot I’ve owned. Grip aside I actually really like the look of the sole, it’s got a slim and low profile which I really like in comparison to the chunkier soles found on doc martens or timberlands.Conclusion- Fair price for the quality- Once broken in are comfortable- Grip is lacking- Feel like the online hype is probably a little exaggeratedOverall I’m pretty happy with the purchase and would recommend them to anyone wanting better than normal quality boots. Just bear in mind that there will likely be a break in period before the boots are comfortable and the rubber studded sole can have appalling grip.

As the title says, I absolutely love these boots,Amazing quality, next day delivery, super comfortable. I now own three pairs of Thursday footwear.I would say that ordering a 1/2 size down from your UK size would be optimal. I am a ten, and ordered a ten, and have to wear thick socks to make the boots fit. I'd also point out that having bought two pairs of the cap toes, one in tan, and one in matt black, the sizes differ slightly. My black pair are looser than my tan pair.I also own a pair of their leather high tops in a 1/2 size smaller than my usual UK size and they fit perfectly in thin socks.

This was my second attempt at a pair of Thursdays. My first was the Dukes on the old RT3 last. These Captains came on the new Kingmaker, which is rounder. I don’t wear the Dukes because of too much pressure on the tops of the toe box, a problem which unfortunately seems to replicate itself here, despite having ordered a different boot, in a different size, made on a different last. But, I can’t fault the obviously high quality and build of this product. So I will speak to that first.I loved the workmanship on the Captains. I ordered these in Arizona Adobe. The leather was beautiful, thick, and durable. I would agree with other recent reviewers that it was definitely more of a chocolate brown than the burnt orange that is pictured. Some folks have theorized that a certain batch of Arizona Adobe leather came in darker that others this time, and that this batch just needs to work its way through the product line. If you’re looking for something closer to the burnt orange pictured, try another color or wait until other folks (or the company itself) can attest to a batch that more closely matches the Arizona Adobe pictured. That all being said, I actually liked the chocolate brown these turned out to be, so your mileage may vary.Regarding construction, there’s no question they would hold up to years of hard wear, the studded sole is tough and the leather remarkably scuff resistant. Laces felt strong and durable. Welt was clean and there were no errant stitches that I could find anywhere on the boot. The rubber studded sole was beautiful and high quality. The quarters seemed a little flimsy, I was expecting something similar to cowboy boot quarters which are often firmer leather or reinforced with plastic, but these felt more like dress shoe quarters to me. Obviously in a boot like this, and any shoe really, your heel doesn’t bend or flex or move much compared to your instep and forefoot, so the need for super tough heel quarters may be unnecessary, I only mention it because it felt strange given the heavier duty feeing about the rest of the boot. Apart from that, craftsmanship was truly punching above its weight class on these, and they represent a great value on construction quality alone.The problem, and it’s why I returned them, is the shape and design of the last does not work for my feet for some reason. I’m a 10.5E on a Brannock device but I fit a 10D in most shoes and cowboy boots with a few exceptions depending on the boot maker. 10.5D in Vans. I followed Thursday’s recommendation of sizing a half size down and ordered a 10D. The resulting fit was appropriate for most of my foot. They fit well everywhere, perhaps even a little wide in the midfoot. Heel felt comfortably snug despite my reservations about the quarters. The issue is the toe box. I can feel the toe box with the tops of my toes and it exerts a mild to medium but constant pressure on them. I’ve had trouble with ingrown nails in the past and after a few days, my toes just hurt and I start to feel that if I keep wearing them, my ingrown nail issues will return. Maybe I have abnormally large Big Toes on both feet, but this issue is usually not a problem with other shoes in similar sizes, including multiple pairs of Dan Post and Capitan cowboy boots with R toes and cutter toes respectively. Never had a problem. Going a half size larger with these, (as I did with my other Thursdays Dukes) makes my foot swim in the boots, they are much too large. Half size down or wide size wouldn’t fix a toe box that isn’t tall enough.The only thing I can chalk it down to is that the shape of the last just doesn’t work for my feet. Every bootmaker and shoe maker has different lasts around which they build their shoes to make a consistent product across multiple size and width configurations. I’m sure last development is very difficult, and based on the huge number of five star reviews on these things, Thursday has obviously created a great product that works well for a lot of people. I wish they had worked for me.I suspect I might have more luck with the heavier duty models that come with lug soles and puff toes, but I find lug soles unfashionable for my sense of style. It may just be that I’m out of luck on Thursdays. I really wanted to like these and to have them work out, but for that reason I had to return them.
