Thursday Boot Company Men's Scout Chukka Boot

After owning these pair of boots for 6 years, I can say I’m pretty happy with the quality and how they have held up. I own 3 pairs of Thursday boots and they all seem to be very well made. I think as long as you take care of the leather properly and make sure to condition it and maybe apply a shoe cream to protect the color it’ll actually wear very nice and look better with age. My only complaint with Thursday boots in general is that they don’t offer a whole lot of cushion and there isn’t much space in the shoe to add your own but even still it’s plenty comfortable for walking around in, just not for like hiking or all day kind of walking. I’ve been wearing these shoes as my daily work shoe since they look pretty good dressed up or dressed down. I’ve also worn them when traveling and exploring new cities, dancing around at weddings and parties or just going shopping and I don’t have many complaints as they are a very versatile pair of shoes. I’d recommend these to anyone looking for a solid quality boot that can pair with many outfits but I’d recommend looking at other shoes if you prefer more a rugged boot or need more cushion support in the heel and midsole.

Great boot and quality. Fits perfectly and looks amazing

classy yet understated... there are quality boots/shoes/shoeboots. Obviously they are dress boots and will get broken in regarding the fine conditioned leather. I found the laces too short and will be buying longer ones to suffice my needs. Them stating choosing a half a size smaller is dead on for myself anyway. These are quite lovely, highly recommended. Edit: second purchase for different/smaller size. My foot measures 10.7 inches and previously I'd ordered size 10 which I can wear but they are too big leaving almost and inch room at the toes. SO, I ordered 6.5 which would correspond to my foot measurement, way too small and almost couldn't pull them on, so I returned for size 8.5 and they fit perfectly. These are lovely boots, not too showy but classy and well made. This size leaves about a fingers width room for the toes.

First, and foremost, this shoe hits all the marks for the price. For $150 you get a very stylish, slim looking chukka. The brown color is rich and will age well. The sole has a Dainite style sole that helps with water resistance and traction, as opposed to a leather sole. All around, a solid shoe to fill the gap between casual and formal occasions. The most difficult thing for me before purchasing was figuring out the sizing. I looked at their website and reviews on Amazon, and ordered a size 10, which fit perfectly. I wear a size 10 in my Wolverine 1K boots, 10 D in Allen Edmonds Neumok and Strand, and a 11 in Nike Free Runs. I think people run into trouble when they're used to choosing their shoe size based on shoes that are NOT higher end shoes...? If you know your size for any of the shoe companies I mentioned or others such as Red Wing and Alden, just order your usual size and it should fit perfectly. Thursday Boot Co. designs their shoes in the USA, then has them made in Mexico. If these were made in the USA, the price would go up, but I'd be more than happy to pay the difference. With that said, Mexico is a much better choice than say China. I think the Scouts will serve me well, as long as I give them some TLC, because they definitely do NOT have the same level of quality and ruggedness as Wolverine or Red Wing, and that's okay. These shoes are not perfect, and the quality could be just a notch better, but for the price and looks/comfortability, they're an awesome choice for chukkas. Well done, Thursday Boot Co.

The best quality "Chukka" boots I have ever owned. With decent quality cleaning products they clean up very well and last (so far 2 years) a long time.

Unbelievable quality for the price. The interior of the shoe is soft leather, the sole is much more durable and reliable than the crepe sole found on Clarks desert boots. These boots can be worn with a suit or with jeans. The sizing is very accurate, I do not recommend ordering a size down as some people have mentioned. I wear a size twelve in Clarks, Nike, New Balance etc...I ordered size twelve in these boots and they fit perfectly. I recommend getting some leather conditioning wax or oil for proper maintenance. I expect to have these boots for a long time, if they fail to live up to that expectation I'll update this review, but in the meantime, I'm stunned by the awesomeness of the scout boot. Pictures cannot describe how good these look and feel when you open the box. Update, customer service is incredible at Thursday Boot co. I had a small defect on the toe of the boot, I didn’t notice it until the third time wearing them, I contacted Thursday Boots and they shipped new ones out immediately!!!!! I’m sold! UPDATE: These boots have separated from the rubber sole at the toe, after only two months of wear. They began separating after a couple days, and Thursday boot sent me a replacement pair, no questions asked, excellent customer service. The replacement pair had the same issue!!! The third replacement pair also has the same issue. I wish the durability was more substantial on these boots, because they’re extremely comfortable, they look like they’re 3 times the actual price, and the company has provided the best customer service I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t heard any issues regarding the president, or the captain. Maybe the issue is only affecting the scout. UPDATE: one year review...I’ve been wearing these for a year now, and the toe issue has proven to be not an an issue at all. These have stood the test of time, I’ve worn them to work (I walk outside all day) all year, they’re still in perfect condition!

Size guide isn't the best: I've ordered three different kinds of their boots, and I've consistently needed a size 9 (my normal size) even though it says to order a half size down. Besides that, I have zero complaints. They are excellent boots that I will continue to buy.

Built well and look great. I would buy these again in a heartbeat.

I wasn't so sure about the limited material/colour options available here on Amazon, but given the absolute ball-ache that would've been ordering from Thursday in the US without knowing my size and risking their returns process which would've turned out very expensive if they were the wrong size, I conceded to get the cognac suede (really I wanted mocca, but none in stock). I have to say, I'm massively impressed and pleased with my purchase, and actually with the shade of brown the cognac come in. Very well made and they feel "special" in a decent-quality sort of way. Though Thursday's recommendations for sizing are specified, I just bought my usual boot size and they fit brilliantly. Now I want more of their range! Well worth the price.

These boots are great. Well made, not perfect. Look great. I wear US 11.5 (2E) in runners and purchased US 11. Size is perfect. Comfortable out of the box. I think a lot of the critics of Thursday Boots are shoe snobs. I don’t want to spend $1000 on boots. Best not to compare these boots to those boots. That being said Thursdays also look super cool compared to to snobby cousins! I’ll be buying more of this companies shoes.

amazing and excellent boots quality and price I’m getting another colour

I am really happy with my Thursday boots. They fit true to size and (once broken in) are very comfortable. Perfect for a smart casual look and are also water tight and durable which is very useful in the UK.
