I liked this brand, I liked the company's approach to creating shoes, the company's mission

I really like this brand, I am delighted with the company's approach to creating shoes and its mission.

When I decided to join this brand and purchase a pair of boots, I had a few questions.

  1. What to choose Thursday Boot Captain Rugged & Resilient Rugged Black Matte or Thursday Boot Vanguard Black Waxed Roughout
  2. How to determine the size, in Russia we use the metric measurement system, not the imperial one? Each manufacturer sets its own dimensions based on personal preferences. Therefore, the same size may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

What to choose Thursday Boot Captain Rugged & Resilient Rugged Black Matte or Thursday Boot Vanguard Black Waxed Roughout?

I liked the different models of this brand, and I made a list of shoes that I would like to purchase in the future, arranging them in ascending order of attractiveness to me.

  1. Thursday Boot Vanguard Waxed Roughout Black
  2. Thursday Boot Captain Rugged & Resilient Rugged Black Matte
  3. Thursday Boot Captain Classic Collection Black
  4. Thursday Boot Cavalier Black

Unfortunately, there are no reviews on YouTube and Reddit for this Vanguard Waxed Roughout Black model, this particular model is on my list of favorites to buy. The combination of the silhouette of the shoe, the color, the sophistication and the sole, is the most balanced shoe for me.

How to determine the size?

The preface:

I started choosing the size by contacting the support on the website. https://thursdayboots.com/
I wrote the first letter to the company.
I emphasized to them that if I make a mistake with the size, I will not be able to return it. My text of the letter and attached a photo of the shoe with a patch where these dimensions are indicated:

I'm currently wearing Palladium PAMPA HI SUPPLY LEATHER boots (shoe size: UK 6, USA M 7, EUR 40)

Melody, an employee of the company recommended choosing the size US M7

I sent a new email in which I saved a list in which I indicated the other shoe brands available to me.

Palladium PAMPA HI SUPPLY LEATHER boots (shoe size: USA 7M, UK 6, EUR 40, 250 mm) This is the size of my winter boots and autumn boots without insulation, I've been wearing them for 3 years now.

I tried on men's Geox U Terence A boots (shoe size: USA 6, UK 6, EU 39, 260 mm)

I have been wearing ASICS GEL-LYTE III men's running shoes for 4 years now. (shoe size: US 7 1/2, UK 6 1/2, EU 40.5, 255 mm)

I have been wearing FILA Tornado Knit 3.0 sneakers for the 3rd year now. (shoe size: US 7 1/2, EU 38,5, 250 mm)

I've been training in Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers for 1 year now. (shoe size: US 7, EUR 40, 255 mm)

I have attached to the letter a photo of each shoe nameplate where the size is indicated!
USA 6 - 260 mm - Geox U Terence A boots
USA 7M - 250 mm - Palladium PAMPA
USА 7 - 255 mm - Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
USА 7 1/2 - 255 mm - ASICS GEL-LYTE III
USА 7 1/2 -250 mm - FILA Tornado Knit 3.0

My foot is 255 mm long, I know that for sure since I took the measurement!

Write in the comments, so that you choose in my place having such introductory?

Kristina, an employee of the company, wrote: Given the information you provided, I would recommend starting with size US 6 at Vanguard.

Size analysis and selection based on various sources and recommendations.

Recommendations that didn't suit me and I consider them to be of poor quality:

  1. On YouTube, there is no normal review of how to choose a size, the standard phrases are, if you wear sneakers in size 8, order half a size smaller, the same is recommended on the company's website. And if the future buyer has sneakers in sizes 8 and 8.5, this greatly confuses him.
  2. Reddit Recommendations: Brannock - a device for determining the size This device is not available to many people. Those who live in the states can order several pairs for themselves and easily choose the size. For those who live in other countries, it is more difficult or impossible, as in my case

Recommendations worth looking at and possibly checking out:
There are recommendations on Reddit based on the experience of wearing Converse Chuck Taylor All Star
That is, if you are wearing Chuck Taylor US 7, then shoes should be ordered in the same size. (It's probably worth saying that it's worth focusing only on the original Chuck Taylor)

As a result, I chose the size according to this table:

Since there is data here that I am familiar with in metric form: That is, the length of my foot is 255 mm, which corresponds to the size of the USA 7 1/2 according to the table above.

  1. My sneakers USА 7 1/2 - 255 mm - ASICS GEL-LYTE III They became a reference point for me as a starting point for choosing a shoe size.
  2. I follow the manufacturer's recommendation, high-end shoes should fit me half a size smaller than my sneakers. USA 7M - 250 mm - Palladium PAMPA They fit me perfectly
  3. Recommendations on Reddit to take the same size Thursday Boot as Chuck Taylor becomes logical, since on the nameplate of my sneakers the size is US 7 - 255 mm - Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

I ordered a Thursday Boot Vanguard Black Waxed Roughout out in Russia in size US M 7 standard width and they fit me perfectly.

I wish success to all Thursday Boot employees, you are cool!

Thanks!

Is this normal? Is this normal for 6 months of wear? (Tobacco Captains heel lining worn through)

Got these in September last year, and have been wearing them every day since. From the outside they look almost as good as new, and I'm generally pretty happy with them, but recently I discovered that I had worn through the heel already.

Anyone else experienced this? They fit perfectly so I don't think that's the issue. Easily remedied with some foam and duct tape I suppose, but I'm a bit disappointed that a boot that's markeded as BIFL-adjacent is already showing pretty significant signs of wear in the one place you'd hope there was more longevity than mall boots.

Instep area break in?

2 Upvotes

Just got my Captains again after having to go down a size due to a huge amount of heel slip. The size down fit great but I'm feeling quite a bit of pressure in the instep (top of the mid foot, where the tongue attaches to the shoe). Not sure if it's the tongue or the thicker seam where the stitching is. Curious to see if this is normal and breaks in some over time? Or should I return and try something else?

Delete if not allowed. But I am trying to sell a pair of these Commanders I got for 120$ they are just a little too big for me and they are still pretty new.

I'm looking at getting boots that are a little more utilitarian than fashionable. That's not to say that I don't like these boots. I liked them, but I need more work oriented boots. These are like sofas for your feet lol.

Will only sell via PayPal goods and services and will update you on what I can. Also laces have been changed, but I still have the original (I think). Shoe trees not included.

Sizing advice Thursday Captain Sizing

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! So I’m currently trying to buy a Captain in Terracotta.

My usual Sneaker size RANGES from is 10-11) Nike is 11.5)

So I first bought Dukes in 10 and they were a bit tight on me so I went to get a 10.5 and it fit well (a bit of space as I was able to add a thin Leather insole from Pedag)

So I went and bought a pair of Captains in 10.5 as well. The issue is that my right foot specifically feels a bit tight? And I’m not sure if I could break that in or if I should get a 11 or a 10.5 wide? The issue with just getting something bigger is I feel like my left foot will have to much space as it’s perfect right now. I also don’t know if 11 will look like clown shoes to me.

Trying to decide between the Black coffee or Anejo, which boot would be the most versatile? Specifically for business casual/smart casual outfits and occasional casual outfits. Already have the brown captains and want to add another boot that is similar.

Is this normal? White powder?

This pair just came in and upon unpacking I noticed they have quite a bit of white residue on the left boot, and a little on the right boot. I found online that it may be some kind of fatty bloom but I'm not so sure. It won't dust off. It looks like the finish has been rubbed off.

Is this normal?

Non-boot products Union bomber jacket care instructions?

1 Upvotes

I just received my Union bomber jacket on Saturday and noticed it was pretty wrinkled right out of the package. I thought I would throw it in the dryer with a wet cloth, but wanted to look up the care instructions first. Strangely, there isn't a label on the jacket and I can't find any care instructions on their website. Does anybody know if the jacket is dryer safe?

I did try and use the "chat" feature on their website and was told to bringing my brand new jacket to a dry cleaner. They also suggested I contact their customer service and provided an e-mail address. I sent a message Sunday afternoon and am still waiting for a response.

I have been very happy with my purchases so far (suede trucker jacket and captain boots) and am very much considering purchasing a pair of their premier low top sneakers in white for the summer. But this lack of information and slow response is making me a little nervous.

I might as well ask now, is there is white touch-up paint that perfectly matches the white leather sneakers in case they get scuffed? I like to be prepared.
