[@stevotloaded6288]

You said ultimate guide but you didn't talk about basic sizing with Thursday boots. How do they fit in terms of size.

[@MensFashionFiles]

@@stevotloaded6288 oops sorry I thought I did. Anyways, I went TTS (size 9). Thursday recommends half size down because leather tends to stretch over time so it'll feel snug on you at first but once you break it in, it'll be comfortable but I didn't want to wait for the break in period.

[@Thursdayboots]

Thanks so much for your detailed review of our Matte Captain! As you continue to wear the boots the leather develops more character overtime so that you can enjoy your boots for years to come! Best, Kendra from Thursday

[@marti_micfly7416]

Will the water stain the boots For other colors such as the terracotta. ?

[@azrlrff]

Hi Kendra, if I wear UK7 for Dr Martens classic boots, what size should I buy for Thursday Captain?

[@Thursdayboots]

@@azrlrff I think I responded to your request in another video comment. We typically recommend going with the size you wear in other leather dress shoes and boots. If this is your size in most shoes and boots, it sounds like a US 7.5 would be a great place to start!

[@Thursdayboots]

@@marti_micfly7416 Hey Martin! This shouldn't be a problem. You can add additional protection if you're going to be in heavier rain or snow conditions. This is still a leather boot so in general, you should be careful not to overexpose your leathers to water.

[@azrlrff]

@@Thursdayboots Really appreciate the replies! Is it possible to change the size if it doesn't fit? I am from Malaysia.

[@JohnMichaelsHeyGirrrllThe3rd]

Great video. You showed these off perfectly, not only by showing us what they look like on foot but also not going all out with the outfits and keeping it simple unlike most videos attempting to show off the boot. Great points and also great editing showcasing the look's. Been eyeing these for awhile, might go for em.

[@dudejmmp]

Just got mine today! Can confirm...they did listen to you. They are now ridiculously stiff and will require a lot of break in. I, personally, love that they are handmade and that you can tell by looking at them. They have what some might call slight imperfections, but I call it character.

[@MensFashionFiles]

[@slowandpainless]

Hey, I just received my captain boots and I have a question about fitting. I ordered half a size down from my shoe size as recommended on their site, but there is a bit of heel slippage and the place where the boots bend is closer to the laces than it seems like it should be. Overall they actually fit well and I know I can't go smaller because they're already pretty tight to put on, but do you think most of the "issues" will go away with more wear?

[@Ricky48785]

Just got my first pair in today in Arizona Adobe! They smelled so good as soon as I opened the box and they look so nice. Do I need to apply any water proof to it or anything before I wear them?

I want to buy these but website says get 1/2 size smaller then sneakers is that true I have other type of boots that are 9 1/2 and fit me that’s my normal size sneaker don’t want to get a 9 wait for them n have to return for different size I’m impatient lol want to get them and wear them please help someone ???

Leather tends to stretch a bit after wearing. If you're impatient then you should go with 9.5

Do these boots fit to actual size ? Or do they run big or run small? Generally I’m a 9 1/2 but with chucks i run an 8 1/2..

Just curious how is the size for you? My shoe size is 10.5. So I got size 10. Way too tight. So I ended up with 10.5 wide and fits just right for me. 🙄

[@MensFashionFiles]

hey Thomas! yea I didn't listen to them when they said to get half a size down lol. My boot is in a size 9 which is what I normally wear. I think Thursday recommends half size down because leather tends to stretch over time so it'll feel snug on you at first but once you break it in, it'll be comfortable.

[@hugocorrea8426]

I know what you mean, I love Thursday boots but sizing is all over the place. I wear a 10 in sneakers, and in the Burnt Ginger Captains the 9.5 fits perfect, so I ordered these Matte Blacks in a 9.5 and they were way too tight, exchanged for a 10 and still too tight, so now I will try a 10 wide and see if that does the trick, my feet are on the cusp of being wide so we'll see....do you have wide feet?

[@DanielFreakinAwesome2]

How did these hold up? Did you have to do much maintenance to keep the black looking nice and matte?

Ok quick question. What levi jeans do you recommend the most with these? If you could give me a top three list that would be so helpful. I just got the 512's but then just saw your jeans review, and saw that the 511 and 502 would be good contenders as well. Please lmk your opinion. Thanks!

I've experienced quality issues with their Rogue boots. Maybe their Captains are better or I've just had bad luck with the Rogue. Although the Captains look mean in black. 🤘

[@MensFashionFiles]

aw man what kind of quality issues did you have with your Rogue boots? Hopefully you were able to get an exchange.

[@stylewithaltitude]

@@MensFashionFiles Upon trying to find my right size, I've seen melted/warped TPU studs on the sole, a boot fitting much looser than the other boot, goodyear welt stitching issues (holes missing stitching) They did offer me to take it to a cobbler with reimbursement or another exchange. But that's just more wait time and time in traffic when the exchange might not work out again. So I'm thinking about what to do. A return might be better after my experience in quality.

[@kn3954]

Thanks for the video. Are they true to size or did you go half-size down per the website?

[@MensFashionFiles]

hey Kyle, the pair I got is TTS and it fits very well right now. Since these boots are made from leather it will stretch over time. If you buy half size down, it'll feel a little snug on you at first but after you break it in, it should be fine.

[@hugocorrea8426]

I have the same question. After reading a lot of reviews it seems like different colorways of the captain fit different. Some run big and some tru to size. After wearing these more do you still recommend going TTS?

[@MensFashionFiles]

@@hugocorrea8426 Yes, if I were to buy another pair, I would go with TTS. Hmm interesting, I would think that the Captains would fit the same despite the different colors as long as its made with the same cattle hide leather. If I were to size down, these would for sure be very snug on me and I'm a pretty impatient person when it comes to breaking things in. Hope this helps Hugo!

@@MensFashionFiles It definitely helps. Thank you very much for the prompt response 🙏

[@Stabzcell97812]

I know I'm probably too late. But I had to go down a full size from my usual. I'd buy one in half a size for and one a full size and return the pair that don't fit.

What about size please does it feel tight or loose thanks in advance

[@MensFashionFiles]

Feels a bit tight at first but Thursday recommends you to go down a size because real leather tends to stretch over time. I chose to go TTS because I didn't want to deal with the break in period.

Update?

[@nottsforest69]

My first pair of Thursday’s are the Matt black captains. One boot fits fine but the other rubs my heal a bit too much for my liking after a few wears. Hopefully it will break in over time. The feel of the boots is also a bit stiff as you walk. So much so that how the foot plants on the ground is not a natural relaxed process and more like walking in ski boots. So right now I have mixed feelings about Thursday’s boots.

[@MensFashionFiles]

How long have you had the boots for? I haven't got the chance to wear them out that much since quarantine but I do agree with you on the stiffness. I do expect them to break in since real leather tend to soften over time.

[@brookeggleston9314]

@@nottsforest69 It's not the boots, my friend, it's your feet! We all have one foot that's slightly larger than the other. Most of the time it's not an issue, but for some of us, the larger foot is *more* than slightly larger. I once knew a man who had to buy two pairs of boots/shoes inorder to get one pair. His right foot was a ten and a half, while his left was an eleven!! Most people aren't that different, and can correct the problem by taking the boot/shoe to a cobbler, who can stretch the boot. Often, they can stretch the specific area, and leave the rest of the piece as is. Good luck!!

They need more cork to make them more comfortable, but besides that, the boots quality control is very poor, as they are shipped full of defects, for example, uneven heel heights (some by a lot), dents and missing or chipped parts in the sole's side, uneven stitching of different heights in the back part of the boot, which the company will try to claim are acceptable standard deviations defects in the manufacturing process since they are handmade, which is an outlandish claim for a boot at the $200 price point, which demonstrates an overall negligent and poor customer service strategy to push defective pairs on customers, which is adverse to the company's marketing strategy on first-hand testimonials. If one is lucky enough to get a pair without defects in the first shipment, they are nice boots but for most customers that is not the case, for this company to ship a pair without defects can be a real challenge full of headaches, especially since it will take three or more exchanges to get a decent pair with little defects, noting that they will not guarantee a pair without defects in writing via email, which shows a poor branding management and integrity by the management of the company.
