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!! 😀

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,

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.

The hardest thing about buying clothing and shoes online is getting proper fit. Once you get dialed in with a specific brand, then it's easy to move on from there. I see a lot of conflicting information online about how Thursday boots (and every other company) fit, especially because some people wear shoes that are too small for them and think they "fit," and others get shoes too large and put in insoles and/or wear thick socks. It's subjective. The words "true to size" are meaningless unless there is a frame of reference. No two companies have the exact same last (shape of the footbed), some are longer/shorter, narrower/wider, taller/shallower footbed, pointed/rounded, etc, etc. For a frame of reference, I measure a 12.5 in the Brannock device for length. I wear 14 in Puma and Nike, 13.5 in Adidas, 12 in most Clarks, and anywhere from 11.5 to 13 in other men's shoes. I tried 11.5, 12 and 13 in Thursday Boots. 13 seems to be a perfect fit, with room for my toes. Long story short: For Thursday boots, I wear 1/2 size LARGER than the Brannock length measurement. As far as the boots go, they are obviously well made and you will get way more compliments than you want. If I have a suggestion, it's that the leather inside the boots and on the footbed is quite slippery, so you'll slide around at first until they shape to your feet, lending the idea that they are too large for some. Get past the break in (typically 5-7 days of use) and you'll realize how nice these boots are. I've worn everything from expensive boots to Red Wing Heritage (beautifully made but rock hard soles except for the Moc Toe boots) and these really are a great value. They are cheap enough that you won't feel sick if they get ruined, but expensive enough to be well made and to remind you to take good care of them. Get your size right and you'll be happy: 1/2 size over Brannock device length measurement.

Heavyweights but nice boots could be lighter

It’s a very good-looking boot and feels durable, sturdy, and secure when walking—it doesn’t feel slippery at all and fits well. However, it’s quite uncomfortable for daily use. After wearing it regularly, it caused a blister, which makes it hard to recommend for extended or everyday wear.

Amazing quality!

I'm VERY happy with my purchase. The leather has a beautiful, deep color - deep chocolate brown with a bit of red to it. The heel is just a little taller than I'm used to, but after 1 day I'm used to it. The sizing on these boots does run large, but just a little. I usually wear a 9 in boots 9 1/2 in tennis shoes, and I ordered a 9. They fit slightly large but I don't think I would have sized down to an 8 1/2 - that would have been too small. They are very comfortable, and you can tell that these are meticulously built with a focus on quality. In the last 2 weeks, I ordered 2 less expensive pairs of chelsea boots from different brands and returned them. These boots are well worth the price, and I'll be wearing them for years to come.

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
