Thursday Boot 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.

Didn't know what to expect when I ordered these from Amazon. I followed the advice and went down half a size over what I would normally buy. I ordered a UK 9.5 (US 10) and the fit for me was perfect out of the box, which was great. The other surprise was how little break in they required, almost none. I put them on and took the dog for a 2.5 mile walk with them on, and within about 10 minutes they felt like I'd had them for months. The footbed isn't removable but the poron/ cork insole they use certainly works as well as any of my other boots. Quality wise they seem very good for the money so far. The leather is soft and breaks in really well, the lining is of good quality. The only thing I could see was one of the nails on the heel wasn't punched down far enough, but so far that was it and an easy fix. Everything else, stitching, eyelets, sole etc. seem very well put together and the comfort so far has been extremely good. I walk about 10km a day and so far in the last 3 days, they have been near perfect, the heels showing little wear. I own a lot of boots some more than double the price, are these finished as well as my Trickers, Loake 1881 etc? Probably not, but for the price they are very good and significantly better than the Timberlands I own, which are a similar price range and slightly smarter. So far a good buy!

Fed up with boots with fake welts which fall apart. Researched various YT channels (thanks Stridewise and Bootlosophy) and as cant afford a pair of Trickers took the plunge with Thursday's with Amazon as not sure on sizing. Turns out they are true to size for me, took minimal breaking in as so soft, super comfy and well made. Four stars as colour more natural/tan than colour shown (brandy) but rather like the lighter tone and can always get some dark polish on them if necessary. NB pretty heavy boot due to excellent sole and heel block but worth it and expect them to last...and resole when necessary.

Very impressed out of the box. Lovely leather smell and clearly high quality and well made, makes what most are selling on the UK high street look like junk. Took the punt buying online as I seem to be a standard size 8 and don't have any issues with sizing (I can buy branded trainers without trying them on). I didn't size down 0.5 as recommended by Thursday Boots and believe that was the right decision as they are a very good fit. I ordered from the site as UK size 8 and they are labelled as US 8.5 as they should be Worn them around the house for a few times before going out. I suspect these will taker significant time to break in, although I don't have any concerns. I suspect reviews saying they didn't take much breaking in may be from younger guys - Been a long time since I had to break in proper leather boots! I'll be interested to see how this process goes over the next week or two and I'm going to go very gradually with it. Other than that the only other test will be how they last over time, and on first impressions I think that will be very well. I will return to review again once I have had them for a while. Definitely recommended

Excellent quality product and really comfortable boots.

Great fit, super comfortable and they look badass. Highly recommend!

Thursday Captain Boots are excellent boots that are a perfect fit, very good quality, especially for the price, and I would highly recommend these as a great choose for a dress boot.

Very sturdy and given its ruggedness I’m expecting it to take a wee while before it’s really comfortable - but looks great! Fit was as my usual size. Looks a tiny bit chunkier than I expected; mainly the sole, but still more streamlined than most other service style boots. All in all a great boot and worth the money. Hoping I’ll have it for years to come.

Size spot on,quality materials & leather,very well made
