I was having trouble putting my foot into the cavalier but when I bought my shoe horn all the problems went away immediately. I also had the dukes but I gave those away since the pull tab was annoying me. Overall 10/10 for the cavalier for me, good price for a quality pair of boots.
Mine arrived two days ago. I like a looser fit and have a wide foot so ordered true size. I was alarmed when I had difficulty getting my foot in. Finally got in, and was surprised to have a good fit after the initial drama. I need one of those shoe horns!
Can you please provide guidance on the black leather cavalier? - Largest concern is whether it is able to resist water - Does it hold up or will socks get wet?
still boggles my mind why make shoes and then tell people to order a half size smaller when you can just make your sizes match the right size from the get-go. I just bought a size 10 and its too big, now i have to return them and waste my time. Many brands do this and it just makes no sense to me.
What do you recommend for care/cleaning? This will be my first pair of truly nice boots once they arrive and I want to make sure they’re taken care of. Excellent video!
If you've got the suede, then a suede brush and eraser are the way to go. You can also spray on scotch gard if you want to weatherproof them. I don't, but it's an option.
Hate the pull tab. I always cut them off of my Beatle boots. For that reason, however, I advocate FOR the pull tab. Some people like them, and I can just cut them off. Who’s going to notice?
I don't like the look of the tabs, but not everyone has a shoe horn handy, especially out of the house. Edit: I ordered a black leather Cavalier, and all I do to put on/off is pull back the heel a bit. It stretches enough for me to fit my foot inside with ease.

My biggest question is how is the creasing ? I have a leather pair of Chelsea’s and they crease almost instantly and it’s very bad for my ocd. Not sure if it’s the quality or just the leather. (They aren’t Thursday brand) cheap H&M brand.
Cheap leather on the HM boots will crease immediately because it’s crappy leather. The better quality the leather, the less creasing. Also wholecut shoes, like chelsea boots, will crease more than something like a captoe as the captoe part helps add structure to that part of the leather. Also, your foot size and gait will impact creasing too
@@WD.909 thanks for the reply. I went and bought the Thursday’s in hopes it was infact the crappy leather making the ones I have now crease instantly. They will be here Wednesday so I’m looking forward to the better quality
@@dusdincobain1191 Get shoe trees. They are a MUST for any shoe that you want to minimize the creasing on. Boots, dress shoes, heck, even expensive sneakers, put a shoe tree in them!
I had to order a full size down even at their recommended half size down it was to much room in the shoes. I'm a 8 in sneakers I got a size 7 and I still have a little room.
If it's going to be the cavalier then its going to be the shadow grey for me. I really loved the look and the shade of grey on the boots. I agree with you if you have to choose one then the choice would be the cavalier but if you can i would suggest buy one of each.. the cavalier and a pair of duke too. Both are great options.
@@BootSpy Damn they lose their shape that fast? Isn't that indicative of a cheap shoe? Another thing how is the opening at the top I like a Chelsea with a snug opening not loose.✌️
I've had the Cavalier boots in black leather for a while now and overall I'm a big fan. My number one gripe has been how easily the black dye came off the outside edge of the heel and sole. I can even see the brown spots on your boots as well. Relatively simple fix but still not something I've experienced with more expensive brands (or even other Thursday boots of which this is my 4th). Overall great boots and I'm sold on no pull tab chelseas.
Hey Jason! Thanks so much for your support. We make our boots with leather-wrapped heels so every now and then you may need to touch up the heels and edges. It will help if you apply some heel and edge polish. Feel free to contact us if you have any concerns!
How is the creasing on your leather ones.? I love the suede shadow look but I also love the leather shiny look. But i feel like creasing will be terrible with the shiny leather
The lack of pull tabs on these Chelsea boots is fine. You can invest a small amount of money in a good shoe artisan, and he will add these tabs. Also, I like your review video about the cavalier style. I recently reviewed the Thursday online store and wondered which boot to choose, but now I want my first Thursday boot to be the cavalier.
How do the cavaliers fit compared to the dukes? I have several pair of the dukes (and find a difference even between the duke 1.0 and 2.0), so I was curious if the cavaliers fit like the duke. I like Thursday boots, but the sizing has been a nightmare for me, with sizes varying between lines and even within lines (at least what I've found). Thanks for your time.
Love their boots and shoes. As of now I have 2 pairs executive shoes, 2 pair scout chukkas, 1 pair cavalier chelsea, 2 pairs of boots for the wife, and as soon as I get my moneys worth out of the J&M grey chelsea boots I will buy a shadow grey pair of the cavaliers. One thing that I did NOT like, is the color of the elastic that was used on the cavalier dusty color. Way too dark compared to the boot. Stands out and distracts from the clean design of the chelsea.

Pull tab or no pull tab? That is the question. Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're listening in the comments!
Make the opening smaller and have a pull tab at the back and it's perfect!
No pull tab!
no pull tab!
No pull tab makes it look classier!! Better for dress shoes to NOT have the pull tab. In my opinion.
No pull tab. Owner of black cavaliers

Love the shadow gray cavs!
Is it weird that I like when they start to look deflated
Just FYI - the Cavaliers in sandstone are not weathersafe suede. So you need to “waterproof” them with a spray or avoid any real wet weather in them
I wear a 14 with a little room so I got them in a 14 n they fit perfectly
So frustrating that almost all boot companies don’t do 1/2 sizes past 12. 14 is too big, 13 too small usually.

No thought on the pull tab but grab yourself a good shoe horn
True that!
@@BootSpy I see the issue. The pull tab is always there. The shoe horn isn't.
@@jameslarue2878just pinch the back of the boots with two fingers. They stretch, it's not a problem
Try a shoe horn, I like the long ones I can use standing.
Pull tab every time please
Hey! Which size would you recommend for me?
I'm wearing EU 45/ US 11 in Air Max 270 and EU 44,5/ US 10,5 in Jordan 1... 🙂

Why Are You Typing Like This?
please review the wingtip boot on color 77
The cedar "boot" trees work better 👍🏼 I got mine on Thursday's website.
I've been interested in those.. might have to try them!
Hey there bootspy. I'm considering on buying the Captain. Should I get it half a size down the same as the caviler?
yep, that's what I personally recommend if you don't have wide feet
Are these as narrow at the toe box as the dukes?
You should try the Thursday Boots Explorer! Haha

Im a US 8 as well for sneakers and im contemplating if i should get a 7 or 7.5. Do u have to wear thick socks with size 7?
Is the boot snug on the ankle? I find it hard to get one that is snug on the ankle.
Yes, it's fairly snug around the ankle. More than their Duke. Also check out the Ace Marks Troy for a more snug ankle
I thought you were gonna say your dog pissed on’m.
Show the shoe on yo foot with an outfit buddy. Damn. We came here to see the color.
Sizing compare to cole haans
Maybe

You need a shoe 👞tree with all your shoes. That's not a issue for me . Mine is sizing. I'm a E/EE wide. Great video as always
Thank you for watching!

I think the fit feels the same, but I also have the same size for all my Thursdays. Don't know if that helps, but it's at least my experience
Are there any weight difference between duke and cavalier?
Cavalier is 10/10. I also own (2) pairs of dukes. I love them. Love the rugged boots more.
What jeans are you wearing in the photos on the website? Thanks
Which color is the cavalier boot on the bottom left of the picture you put up??
Do you recommend suede or standard leather for all year wear if live in south Texas?
Love their boots and shoes. As of now I have 2 pairs executive shoes, 2 pair scout chukkas, 1 pair cavalier chelsea, 2 pairs of boots for the wife, and as soon as I get my moneys worth out of the J&M grey chelsea boots I will buy a shadow grey pair of the cavaliers.
One thing that I did NOT like, is the color of the elastic that was used on the cavalier dusty color. Way too dark compared to the boot. Stands out and distracts from the clean design of the chelsea.
