First Handmade Heritage Boots

Great gateway boot, I want to buy my wife a pair of combats from them. I'm definitely moving into the mid-range of boots, so I most likely won't come back to Thursday unless I have a specific need only they can fill for cheap. Definitely won't get suede again, at least not for a long time. I am interested in their sneakers, so I'll probably look into those first before more Captains. Overall, my verdict is: good, not great. It's mostly a stepping stone to try GYW boots and either stop or dive deeper. I'm definitely plunging into handmade heritage boots, and I'm grateful for Thursday to be that first step.

Q&A

Why did you choose this item?

Availability: Stock Model
Style

I wanted to start the boot journey gently with my wallet. I chose Thursday because of the reputation, build quality, and price. I wanted a yellow-brown leather similar to baseball glove leather, like yellow straw or hay.

How did you determine your size?

I measured myself on the Brannock device and followed Thursday's instructions referencing the Brannock. BootSpy, Carl Murawski, RoseAnvil, and Stridewise all influenced my sizing decision and I'm grateful for their help.

It was easy to buy online and obtain. Thursday is very streamlined. I was disappointed that the boots did not look like the pictures online, though I don't expect them to be exact.
