Thursday Boots Review

I prefer Chelsea boots to have a more sleek, slightly dressy look compared to a rugged Chelsea. I think the Cavalier gives the best version of a Chelsea. Not TOO dressy but definitely not rugged.
kodiakthejuggler it’s fat
The Duke was almost to wide looking imo. I'm short so wide looking boots is not good for me 🤷🏾♂️
I like that they ditched the leather strip around the elastic panel. Looks much better now imo.
I agree. That leather strip does not age well as the boot is worn more. It ends up looking a bit ragged.
Actually, Thursday did a blog post on this and it said the Duke was based of the captain last, while the Cavalier was based off their oxford last! Goes to show which is dressier and which isn't.
They are both beautiful boots . But the Cavalier would be my choice . The grey suede looks a good quality boot .
Its not a bad boot, but I wish I could have the best of both combined. The gusset pattern is better on the Duke in my opinion, but the leather accent around it makes it look even chunkier than it actually is. The actual profile of the Cavalier is better in my opinion, but I dislike the slanted angle of the shaft. I also dislike the white stitching on the Duke.
Cavalier profile, the Duke shaft with the better posture, and Duke gusset pattern (without the leather accent) would be awesome, especially with a little extra height to the boot, so it looks better while sitting down.
Maybe we can get them to make a “Kavalier” combining both of them as you describe. That would be cool
So Duke is more casual and Cavalier more formal?? I like the Cavalier more than the Duke but would they look good if I wear them casual with jeans or should I go with the Duke.
I would say the Duke is more casual because of the contrast stitching and the rubber sole.
I would love to get my hands on a pair of Thursday dukes, but with school and a baby on the way, they are just outside my price range for now.
I feel ya. They do have the Afterpay option. It would come out to giving up eating out for a week or so. And I think the payments are due every 2 weeks?
I just have a difficulty finding Chelsea boots a 13 w. I like the higher end fashion but sizes are difficult to come by. Lucky Taft and Thursday Boots are improving.
I've recently ordered my first two pairs of Thursday Boots! Got the Cavalier Sequoia Buffalo and Vanguard French Roast on the way! So excited to try them on and make a video!
Sweet! We're so glad to have you a part of the Team. Thanks for all your support! Best, Kendra from Thursday
kodiakthejuggler Did you have to size down for the cavalier at all?
@@dylanlundgren No, I went with a 10 on that too. Fit felt a little more loose as the leather is more pliable. Both fit great.
love the shirt and sweater combo, stylishly classic
Thank you Caroline! Love my cashmere 😍
Ha ha love it, saw the cavaliers a month ago and picked them up in pebble brown and black leather. Definitely toward dress boots easily paired with a suit. Love the minimal design. Fit is perfect for me at 10, same size as my three chukkas... Also from Thursday. Might get a suede pair to round out the set.
@DavidSaintloth - Thanks so much for all your support we truly appreciate your feedback :) Best, Kendra from Thursday
I have the cavaliers in black leather. I highly recommend going for the suede. The leather creases very easily and it's very visible.
Do you use shoe trees?
@@marinko1862 yes I do. The creases came only a day after wearing them. I’ve also seen other reviews from their other boots with the same issue.
Hi! Thanks for making this helpful review and comparisson. Do you recommend going a half size down on the Dukes from your normal sneaker size?
Don’t waste your money on Thursday boots. They’re garbage. Save your money and get shoes from Allan Edmonds or any other reputable brand.
You need better lighting
I just bought a pair of cavilers and got a half size down from my normal size and they aren’t tight but aren’t big. Should I return them for a whole size down from my normal sneaker or should I keep the ones I have now that are only a half size smaller?
My girl just got me those cavaliers for Valentine's day,a really comfortable boot and stylish
I got mine a pair of the downtown grey suede boots from Thursdayboots! Really nice
Best girlfriend ever! Welcome to the Team :) Best, Kendra from Thursday
@@Thursdayboots oh these ain't my first Thursdays, going on my 4th pair and won't be my last.when you have the quality and price to match it's Thursday everyday lol
The Duke is too thick chunky with a female height heel and silhouette. The window elastic panel is too much going on there. Pass on the Duke
Hopefully they make a boot with removable insole that way i can put on my memory foam insoles
Donnie Aloot what memory foam do you use? Got a link?
Happy to pass your suggestion to our team! Best, Kendra from Thursday
I absolutely love a Chelsea Boot, esp when traveling, so handy at airports and gray suede is so versatile! Great review Jon!
Why airports?
@@HeavyProfessor Easy removal at security.
@@HeavyProfessor TSA security theater makes you take off your shoes. This doesn't necessarily apply for the rest of the world.
I think the brown boots actually look more sleek and elegant because is leather even though it may seem more utilitarian compared to the suede.
Chelsea boots are great! Another great vid bro!
They should have spelled it with a K Jon. That would have been a total homerun. Great video as usual. Thanks for keeping us informed and up to date.
✊🏿
As a Mexican, i've visited some places in Guadalajara and other states where small businesess manufacture dress shoes and boots and I can guarantee anyone that those are really high quality
100%
My coworker has alot of boots from Mexico and they are really nice and high quality
Cavalier all the way
I'm a weird boot size. Usually somewhere between 9 and 9.5 and I've found I love the laceup Thursday boots, but I've tried 3 pairs of Thursday chelseas and none of them fit. 9 and a 9.5 in the Duke and a 9 in the kavalier and none of them fit right. The closet fit for me was the 9 Duke, but it was too tight and pinching my big toes. I love boots, and I love Thursday but I just can't wear their chelseas unfortunately. :(+8
Dang. Is it a width issue? Might help to go wide.
Have you tried any of their new jackets?
Carl Murawski has, and has posted a review. I’d check it out. Spoiler: Not worth the price.
@@Hypee559 Beat me to it. Would recommend Carl's video
I have the chukka from Thursday boots but unfortunately even with conditioning the leather looks really bad with scuffs and scratches after wearing it for few times. I am not sure if thats the case with everyone or is it just mine
@Fouad AL Hatian - Did you try using a leather polish? Naturally, the leather will crease and with wear you may get scuffs and scratches. If anything penetrates the leather too deep it may leave something permanent. We'd be glad to take a closer look and offer some additional shoe care advice. Feel free to reach out to us directly at founders@thursdayboots.com. Our team is happy to address all your concerns! Best, Kendra from Thursday
I juuuust ordered a black cavalier as my first boot but now I'm thinking about that grey... I wish they made a tan cavalier tho
Happy to share your suggestion with our team! Best, Kendra from Thursday
cavalier :)
Mesh underwear be better air fresh
Yes!!! I've been waiting for something like this!!!!
What about the comfort & traction with their leather soles? I’m familiar with the rubber, but I don’t believe you addressed the comfort factor
I've got them and for me the fit is excellent. The upper is soft but firm and flexes readily around the foot. I haven't worn them yet but expect all day wearing with no discomfort from day 1. As John mentioned, the fit is slightly more snug when compared to the same size in their chukka boots but it's actually a pleasing snug.
The soles are actually a combination of leather and rubber recessed lugs. Rather unique... As I'd expect traction to be between full leather bottoms and rubber bottoms.
Hey! Which size would you recommend for me if I want a pair of cavalier's?
I'm wearing EU 45/ US 11 in Air Max 270 and EU 44,5/ US 10,5 in Jordan 1... :-)
What about the width on these boots ?
@Prajal! Our men styles made in the standard D width but we do have a few styles available in a wide width. If you reach out to our team directly we're happy to help with sizing and any other questions you may have! Best, Kendra from Thursday
I would love to hear your opinion on their logger boots
Thank you for this! I just purchased the Cavalier via your link. Keep up the great work kind sir.
Enjoy your boots :) Best, Kendra from Thursday
Excellent video! What do you think of the wingtips at $235?
What pants are you wearing in this vid? They seem to fit great
Woodies Performance Chinos
Do you recommend leather or Swede cavalier brown boots for all year wear with jeans in south Texas?
Hi! I know that in your video, you said that jeans would pair better with the Duke boot. However, what would khakis and chinos better pair with? Would they pair with the dressier Cavalier, or would they pair better with the more casual Duke? Thanks!
If I wear only denim and chinos,what shoe will be more versatile. Duke leather brown ones or duke suede tan?
I ordered a pair of the Dukes due to all of the positive press they have been receiving online, and they just arrived today. They are beautiful boots, and they appear to be very well made. Unfortunately, they are not for me. I got them in an 11 Wide, & they are actually slipping at the heel, but too narrow at the front of my foot. It's also a shame that out of all of the RUclips videos I've seen, not a single one mentioned that the insole is not removable. I actually have prescription orthotics I will not be able to put into the boot. They are certainly fine looking boots, I just wish they made a wider size, & had a removable insole.
Dukes are too heavy. They are ok but the cavalier is lighter and more comfortable
The contrast stitching on all the dukes ruin it imo. Like work boot vibes.
Really want a pair of the cavalier. I have a pair if the Scout boots, and two pairs of the executive shoes. My wife has two pairs of their boots also. Problem for me is that I already have a pair of dark grey suede chelsea boots from Johnston Murphy. Very comfortable boots though
Update: still no Cavalier boots…LOL. I do have another scout in the lineup. I had ordered a duke preowned, although basically new, but the size was incorrect from what I was told. Unfortunately those couldn’t stay. Looking to grab either the grey cavalier or a dark brown duke soon.
Hello, how much does a boot weigh? I am interested in this data because if it weighs a lot it can be bad for my back.
How much bigger is the heel on the Duke? I prefer the bigger heel being a shorter guy, and I cant find anything in the difference in height.
Great explanation of the differences in these boots because I surely couldn’t tell lol
Chelsae boots just look too long on big feet. I wear a 14 and i look insane.
Yes, big feet..... big problems
Lmao, your comment made me laugh, I wear a 12 and I was thinking the same thing. Damn, you're in a 14. I have to agree, you might look like you have clown shoes on. 😲😂
If anyone has experience with fitting the cavalier with a size "E" please let me know.
I really like the Cavalier, I just wish it had the pull tab because I feel like it would be hard to slip on these kind of boots.
You won’t miss it. I have the Cavalier and gave my brother the Duke. The pull tabs constantly caught the helms of my pants. I cut them off on all my boots.

The inside sole is removable?
Mate, what pants are you wearing?
I’m sorry but why go with Thursday Boots when you can buy Meermin. Anyone know?
I had repeated bad experiences with Meermins customer service especially before they opened their NYC shop. The ease of purchase and returns via Thursday is nice but you can go with any one you like. I have both but tend to grab my weatherproof Thursday’s for most situations.
Definitely some badass boots worth the money but you should invest in some shoe trees to make them last longer
Great vid. What brand is that sweater?
Naadam
Thanks for your review. I just ordered the Cavalier in brown.
what about morjas chelsea boots?
I own a pair of the Arizona Adobe Captains and I love them. Really looking at a pair of the Shadow Gray Cavaliers
Did you end up getting it?
How are the sizing of both pair?
Awesome I've been waiting for something like this!!! Keep up the great work
Media offline at the end :p
WTH
Which is the more comfortable one?
Great video, a comparison between these and the Liverpool Chelsea boots from Allen Edmonds , $500 vs $200 would be great showdown and would love to hear which you would buy if you were back in your college years
100% Great idea Julian!
5:43 "I'm really excited for a big 2020 for you guys..." That comment didn't age well--for anybody in the world lol XD
What about Ace Marks boots?
👀
how do you fill about the born shoe line
Needed this video, couldn’t decide between the two. Thank
So helpful!
Ugh. The Duke was one of the ugliest boots I've ever seen. I ordered a normal size 12 and it looked like a giant rain boot. No last shape, no elegance, just a gigantic blob of a shoe. Easy return for me
It's a little bulkier than the Cavalier but we understand that it may not be something that goes with your personal style or taste. Have you tried the Cavalier? It's much sleeker like a dress boot. It might be what you are looking for! Best, Kendra from Thursday
Exactly. I ordered the duke in 9.5 and it looks big, wide and bulky compared to my cavalier 9.5. I don’t know if they sent me a wide 9.5 duke instead of a standers 9.5 but I am returning these bulky things!
So if I'm an 8 in the Duke, I am an 8.5 in Cavalier?
Hey Raphael! I'd recommend going with the same size in both styles! Best, Kendra from Thursday
Cavalier formal enough to wear with a suit/tux?
If I'm a size 10 in converse what size should I get the Cavalier in?
What did you end up with ? Im a 9 1/2
@@stevesteve9719 I ended up not buying the shoe so idk sorry
How high up the ankle does the Cavalier come up? I've been looking for brown Chelsea's for ages but anything in my price point seems too short for what I'm after
Not too high. About 1" above my ankle. Not sure how high you're looking to go
@@The_Kavalier thanks for replying! That sounds about what I'm looking for!
@JamesCaims - The shaft height for the Cavalier is about 5.5". Please don't hesitate to contact us directly if you have any other questions. Hope this helps! Best, Kendra from Thursday
I love a Chelsea boot!
Belt roundup coming soon?
Read my mind
i liked before i watched. wahha
Appreciate it Johnny!
I’d rather something that doesn’t have the typical Thursday drop after a year.
What does the typical Thursday drop mean?
@@pschlick4 I was wondering the same thing.
There's a brand that I'd like you to review, they're called "Barbanera." More of a casual European brand but nonetheless, their products - particularly their Cash boots - look really, really nice but they're expensive. Can you take a look?
Cheap leather and they cut corners on many things to get to this price. Great entry level to AE and 1k wolverine. These definitely are better then garbage Clark’s
For another $90 the Carlos Santos Chelsea blows the Cavalier away.
I enjoy my Thursday boots, yes good for the money. As well made as my AE ....nope
Yup.
Every time you talk about boots I think of that pair of boots I saw on a website you suggested, and damn if I remember the name of that site. They were a 6" boot , brown, and had that wing tip design on it, but only slight. That probably doesn't make sense, but I'd love to look at those again. Even the guy from the website commented to me about buying them.
🤔 could it be Idrese?
@@The_Kavalier No, but that company has some damn nice boots. I have to figure out how to retrieve messages on YT. Thursday has some damn nice boots esp the President boot in tobacco. It's not as dressy as the one I'm thinking of , but that boot will look good with Khaki's etc.
