Thursday Boot Company Duke Chelsea Boot Review

[@StrayReviews]

How do you feel about dark olive suede?

[@Blasfemurr]

Absolutely love these boots but the previous last was too uncomfortable - I will be trying these on the Kingmaker... do you find that, if you get your true size that there is any heel slippage? Also, do you know if Thursday's EE is a standard 4 1/4" vs 4 1/8 for a Standard D?

[@StrayReviews]

@@Blasfemurr I haven’t noticed any heel slippage but results may vary. Great question about the EE sizing. You may have to reach out to Thursday for that one. 👍

[@prabhdeepdhahan1147]

In real life, do the boots look green, brown or a sort of grey?

[@StrayReviews]

@@prabhdeepdhahan1147 All of the above, depending on the lighting. I'd say they look really dark green most of the time though.

[@jarekgonzalez12]

​​​@@prabhdeepdhahan1147 the dark olive color is great if you're not sure whether to choose black or brown. At a glance they look brown in my opinion. The dark olive looks great and the video does it justice with the color in person.

I have black leather Dukes that I got ~5 years ago. They still look and feel great. I have three other pairs of boots from Thursday’s but these are my go to pair for just about everything.

[@StrayReviews]

Very nice! I was actually thinking about picking up a second pair.

[@kitcraft9516]

Nice review, I will let you know how comfortable my Thursdays are, if I ever get them, lol. A week later and they still haven't processed/shipped. :P

[@StrayReviews]

Wow! I hope they ship out soon!

[@kitcraft9516]

Thanks, me too!@@StrayReviews

[@kitcraft9516]

Finally got them and a 20$ gift card since they were delayed. @@StrayReviews

[@victorlinge92]

You must have gotten them by now?😋

[@kitcraft9516]

@@victorlinge92 Sorry, I intended to come back to this! Yes, my order was deemed unable to ship for whatever reason and they sent a reshipment. The whole thing took about three weeks including the new shipment.

[@prabhdeepdhahan1147]

Can you do light work in these boots like shoveling snow or helping someone move or are the Blundstones better for that?

[@StrayReviews]

I prefer Blundstones for that, for sure.

[@prabhdeepdhahan1147]

@StrayReviews I like wearing Blundstones in size 11 ( usa)...what size in ThursdayBoots Duke do you recommend?

[@StrayReviews]

@@prabhdeepdhahan1147 I prefer getting the Dukes in my normal Brannock size (10).

[@CommanderPicard1]

If I wear a size 8.5D US in Red Wing Iron Rangers what size please would you suggest that I could get with these?

[@StrayReviews]

For me, I would probably go with a 9.

[@CommanderPicard1]

Thanks will consider getting this size.

[@CommanderPicard1]

@@StrayReviews I meant to order a 9 but I accidentally ordered a 9.5, and it seems the 9.5 are for me a comfortable fit. Happy accidents!

[@StrayReviews]

@@CommanderPicard1 Excellent!

[@alexsherel3344]

So how much would that side panel cost to make right?

[@StrayReviews]

Good question. If you have a local cobbler, maybe they can give you an estimate.

[@DMorgan77]

Do you ever review anything that isn’t sponsored? That’s a sincere question, I’m not subscribed, but I have watched a few of your videos and they have all been sponsored. Thanks for your time.

[@StrayReviews]

Great question. There’s a big difference between sponsored videos and videos where the product being reviewed was supplied by a brand for free. With sponsored content, the brand pays the creators to make the content, and approves of the video before being published. For the latter, it’s just a matter of providing the creator with a review sample, and the creator can say what they want with no strings attached. To date, I have never done a sponsored video. However, about 90% of what I review is sent to me by brands. It would be way too expensive for me to personally purchase all this stuff. But I do share my honest opinion.

[@DMorgan77]

@@StrayReviews thank you for the clarification. It is good to know that the brand does not have a “say” in your review.

[@CarlosValentor]

@@DMorgan77every boot he reviews, he’s been wearing every day for the past few months 🤔

[@StrayReviews]

@@CarlosValentor😅 Since I work from home, I’m able to change my shoes as often as I like. The downside is that reviewing this stuff is a huge distraction from my actual job.

[@CarlosValentor]

@@StrayReviews you know I do watch your videos but they all mostly feel sponsored, overly complimentary and they all feel like a commercial. I believe you could improve a lot by being more critical and real 🤙 just my opinion anyway, you might be actually just promoting sponsors in which case it’s working. Take it easy
