Thursday Boot Company Duke Men's Chelsea Boot

The quality is top notch. They are a little tight on the neck when putting them on and taking them off. But once on, you wanna keep them on. They don't only look amazing, but they feel amazing also. THANK YOU... better than my Chelseas!! That was hard to believe!! 😀

Great boots. Obviously well made by a company that cares for quality. I hjad to wear them a couple of times before the molded to my feet. I wear size 14EE, and these are super comfortable. They feel like a solid boot.

I had already purchased a brown pair of Chelsea boots from another brand at a lower price. After purchasing these, the difference is astounding. First the packaging. It was like an early Christmas wrapped gift. Upon opening, the smell of genuine leather was pleasantly profound. The weight of these are also much heavier. Fit is great. I can’t wait to wear them after the Christmas break,

I love my boots, but definitely do some research on how much to size down. I'm sizing down about a full size from my normal sneaker size, and even a half size down from Thursdays "Cavalier" Chelsea boot

First pair of Thursday boots and I really want to like these. I needed smooth toe black boots that were dressy enough for use with a pilot uniform but also durable enough for banging around flight deck and outside ramp use in the elements. Time will tell whether they are durable but they certainly are handsome looking. My biggest concern so far is sizing. They run big. I have a somewhat narrow foot, I would say US8.5 C width, although I wear US9 in sneakers and US8.5 in other dress shoes or boots and have for 40 years. Unfortunately Thursday does not offer any choice in widths. I communicated my concern with Thursday via email a couple times and used their size calculator. In every instance they recommended a US8 in this boot and that is what I ordered. The boots are huge on my feet, not in length but in width. I have 2 sets of insoles installed and still my foot rubs around when walking. I'm not sure if I will be able to use these for work as they are rubbing blisters so far. Almost makes me wonder if I got a mismarked pair of boots (8.5). Pretty sure a US7.5 would be too short. Wish they offered C widths.

Original review - Size 9 1/2 Boots arrived in an amazon box not a Thursday Boot Company box. The box itself noted "this item has been repackaged in recyclable packaging because the original box was damaged in transit." OK, well that box was too small and the boots were crammed in there. The boots were also not wrapped in plastic bags inside the box for protection as they are when shipped by Thursday. They also did not come with the quality guarantee card signed by the person who inspected the shoe when shipped by Thursday. (See Thursday boot unboxing vids for reference). For spending $200 on boots, I'd prefer to receive exactly what I paid for in the condition it is intended to sent from the merchant; not a hastily repacked item. I could overlook all of this if the boots were a home run - more on the fit below. I typically wear a 10.5 street shoe. I ordered a 9.5 and they were too big. The boot is high volume. There was extra space on the in the heel and on the top of my foot. Pushing my foot forward in the boot made it feel more fitting; however, this would induce pretty bad heel slip and be a general annoyance (enough that I would never want to wear them).The opening of the boot is also a bit larger than expected. If you wear slimmer jeans, theres a high chance you may see the boot outline at the bottom when walking and/or standing (if you care about that sort of thing). I may try a 9 after the return is complete (which seems a bit wild as I've never been close to a 9 in any other footwear). The boots themselves do seem well made and have a nice look. The jury is out on whether the last/design is just built for a larger, more high volume foot or if a smaller size will provide a good fit. Updated review - Size 9: Shoes arrived in a battered Thursday boot box but were individually wrapped with the quality assurance card. Size 9 did fit better; however, it was tight in the toes while still having too much space surrounding the heel (which would cause slippage and blisters). The boot opening was still a bit too large to fit nicely under slim jeans (you could see the boot outline around the cuff of the pants). The color of this boot was also a flatter brown with minimal texture and the maroon elastic fabric did not look as vibrant. Again, they do seem well made, but the fit isn't for me.

Boots came within 2 days of ordering. If I ordered off their site, I would have to wait at least a week or two. They are comfortable right out of the box. Sizing is pretty accurate. Maybe a little bit on the larger side. Not as light as my Blundstones. A bit on the heavier side as they are Goodyear welted. Solid construction and the water resistance suede is a bonus.

The Thursday boots Chelsea boots I ordered were very good quality, but unfortunately they didn't fit my foot. It was no problem at all to exchange the model for the Thursday boots Captain, which are also high quality and fit my foot very well. During the entire ordering process, I was assisted by very competent and friendly staff who monitored the delivery and offered immediate solutions when difficulties arose. I would like to see such a reliable and transparent service from many German companies. Thank you!

Order your true size if you have wider feet, took a little breaking in as the suede is hardy stuff. Well worth it !

I bought a pair of these in Camel in April of this year, and they have been a big hit based on their looks, and the quality of the manufacturing. Better yet, I took them on a long trip to Europe, and wore them on a 9 hour flight from Vancouver to London, with a 3 hour layover, and then a 3 hour flight to Barcelona. The boots were super comfortable, and easy to wear the entire day. Love these boots so much that I have ordered another pair. Highly recommended, and best of all, Made in the USA.

Love the shoe High Quality just shame that honey suede doesn’t come in bigger sizes on Amazon
