Thursday Boot Company Captain Men's Lace-up Boot

I bought these given the price, and needed them asap for a trip to Utah. I wear a size 14 so walking into a local retailer and finding a suitable pair is rare.I wore them out and about, all over Salt Lake City, even did some climbing out on Antelope Island, craggy rocks and trails, 35-45 degrees out. This is an excellent boot, very comfortable, very sure on the feet, excellent grip, and look nice enough for dinner out. This is a well made, well priced boot, much nicer than the price would reflect.

Why is this not a normal boot? Well, if you are a shoe person at all, I'll tell you in a second. If you just want to slap these on and roll, know that Thursday and their products are awesome. Also, know that their "half size down" sizing was accurate for me.. I tried several, and stuck with this original recommendation.Now for some juicy details (which I'm only able to bring to you because a guy on YouTube cut one in half) *go check it out, very cool*. First off, pros:- Quality, supple leather uppers- Relatively short break-in time- Goodyear welt construction (superior to Blake stiching for water resistance and reworkabiility *resole friendly*- Leather soles with proprietary grips- STACKED LEATHER heel block, good for longevity and comfort, made of lesser materials (like compressed cardboard) from other companies.- long, sturdy laces- cork filling- classy look/silhouette- sturdy hooks/hardware- great return/exchange policy, which is great for ordering online.The cons:- the leather creases fairly quickly, because it is so supple. I'd invest in boot trees (the pair from Stratton fit perfect)- it's not a "true" cap toe, they mill down one layer to seamlessly blend in with the next, unlike a traditional cap toe being two full layers.- the black oils on this pair were laid on thick enough that they'll stained my fingers after putting them on and feeling the leather. Might stain light colored pants.- sizing was a little inconsistent from boot to boot. Tried my size in a different color before this one, left boot was more snug than the right, then that reversed when I got the second pair.Other info:- These are made in Mexico, but they do have a Made in USA line on their website for less than a third of the price more.- they are "designed to fit snug, but not uncomfortably tight".. mine felt tight walking around for the first few wears, then they got exponentially more comfortable.These have quickly become my favorite shoes to wear, they get more comfortable after every outing. They look great, they feel great, and at this price, you get some premium options that even some $400 shoes don't have.

I own several pair of Thursday boots. They are the same price here as they are directly from Thursday .These boots will last forever and they are comfortable and stylish . Worth the spend 100%

I love these boots. I ordered the regular black captain boots. They look amazing, have excellent workmanship and are probably the most comfortable boot I have owned. That being said the toe box is cramped and my pinky toe is in pain by the end of the work day. I did order by their sizing guidelines by ordering half a size down, so maybe ordering my regular size would have been better, but I've worn them for 3 weeks so I could give an honest review. I will keep them and take good care of them, but maybe won't enjoy them as much as I hoped.Edit: I bought a second pair of their captains in the Arizona Adobe and they look stunning. Not to mention I lucked into a pair that used their 2nd last that they stopped using that has a wider toe box. They feel heavenly, and I now understand why others rate them 5 stars. That being said, they discontinued the last they used to make these, so don't get your hopes up that they won't have a smaller toe box.If you look at the picture attached you can clearly see the difference in the narrowness of the toe box, and the general shape of the toe of the boot. I'm not sure if my original black pair are the original last, or the most recent last. The most recent last is supposed to be in between the really narrow, original toe box, and the wider toe box of the 2nd last. I'm sure if you order from the website itself, you will get the most recent shoe shape.

The Captain boot is the only wide width boot they make. I bought a brown Captain boot 2 years ago and they are holding up well. A few items to mention:They are a little stiff when you first put them on but they loosen up quick. Nice leather.The heel feels a little raised which is awkward at first, but I got used to it.The boots are heavy compared to my other boots but for the look, they are worth it.I have a wide foot and these boots are just right. The boot strings are wide to start with but with wear, they loosen up to have the streamlined look.The boots are good quality leather.After a few months of wearing, they get the worn look which is the biggest reason I bought them.I believe these boots will last a very long time.

Le scarpe sono bellissime e davvero ben fatte con materiali di alta qualità. Sono soddisfatto. Il venditore è molto gentile e super disponibile. Servizio davvero Top

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.

Tolle Verarbeitung und sehr bequem.

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.

Love the boots.... great fit, great look and excellent “fit ‘n finish “
