Duke Men's Chelsea Boots

These Chelsea boots exceeded my expectations! The leather looks premium, they fit true to size, and they’re very comfortable even after wearing them for hours. The craftsmanship is excellent, and they pair perfectly with both casual and dressier outfits. I’ve already received several compliments. Highly recommend these boots to anyone looking for style, comfort, and quality

My body is broken after 40+ years of shoeing horses but I still have managed to walk good “ These are quality shoes that I haven’t seen since the 1970s I’ve always worn good footwear and my feet are in great shape. I’d like to keep this succinct so as to talk about the shoes, some of the finest footwear you can get for that amount of money.well done Thursday footwear!!

One of the nicest shoes I've gotten. I've gotten several compliments on it. You do need an outfit that matches, so don't go out too underdressed with these on. Otherwise, no scraping at the heels, easy to put on, doesn't get too big with time. Mine are finally starting to get a little scuffed on the front after over a year, but that's my own doing/natural wear and tear.

The quality is top notch. They are a little tight on the neck when putting them on and taking them off. But once on, you wanna keep them on. They don't only look amazing, but they feel amazing also. THANK YOU... better than my Chelseas!! That was hard to believe!! 😀

Very nicely made, but heavier than wanted. Fit was spot on., wearing a size 9 EE.

Original review - Size 9 1/2 Boots arrived in an amazon box not a Thursday Boot Company box. The box itself noted "this item has been repackaged in recyclable packaging because the original box was damaged in transit." OK, well that box was too small and the boots were crammed in there. The boots were also not wrapped in plastic bags inside the box for protection as they are when shipped by Thursday. They also did not come with the quality guarantee card signed by the person who inspected the shoe when shipped by Thursday. (See Thursday boot unboxing vids for reference). For spending $200 on boots, I'd prefer to receive exactly what I paid for in the condition it is intended to sent from the merchant; not a hastily repacked item. I could overlook all of this if the boots were a home run - more on the fit below. I typically wear a 10.5 street shoe. I ordered a 9.5 and they were too big. The boot is high volume. There was extra space on the in the heel and on the top of my foot. Pushing my foot forward in the boot made it feel more fitting; however, this would induce pretty bad heel slip and be a general annoyance (enough that I would never want to wear them).The opening of the boot is also a bit larger than expected. If you wear slimmer jeans, theres a high chance you may see the boot outline at the bottom when walking and/or standing (if you care about that sort of thing). I may try a 9 after the return is complete (which seems a bit wild as I've never been close to a 9 in any other footwear). The boots themselves do seem well made and have a nice look. The jury is out on whether the last/design is just built for a larger, more high volume foot or if a smaller size will provide a good fit. Updated review - Size 9: Shoes arrived in a battered Thursday boot box but were individually wrapped with the quality assurance card. Size 9 did fit better; however, it was tight in the toes while still having too much space surrounding the heel (which would cause slippage and blisters). The boot opening was still a bit too large to fit nicely under slim jeans (you could see the boot outline around the cuff of the pants). The color of this boot was also a flatter brown with minimal texture and the maroon elastic fabric did not look as vibrant. Again, they do seem well made, but the fit isn't for me.

Comfy and classy. What else could you ask for.

Bad Quality and terrible customer service!! DONT BUY!! I would give a ZERO star If I could. Received the shoes on Wednesday evening, 08/17 with quality issues (see the attached images) and called Amazon Customer Service on Thursday, 08/18 for exchange. I was told by Amazon Customer Service to wait for 48 hours for Thursday Boot Company to respond. I had to contact Amazon Customer Service for the 2nd time on Monday evening, 08/22 and did not receive any response from Thursday Boot Company between 08/18 and 08/22 until Tuesday morning, 08/23. That's been over 60 hours, not including Saturday and Sunday. By that time, I had spent over 1 hour explaining the situation to 2 different Amazon Customer Associates and 1 manager. So, a guy from Thursday Boot Company emailed me and kept asking for images of the shoes only for their evaluation in the morning, 08/23. At that time, he did not offer any specific solution but consistently asked for images in two sperate emails already, and I emailed him that I was already out of town for the week, but I sent him the images on Monday, 08/29 when I got back. All his said all the time was that the shoes are good and shouldn't be a cause for concern for the spot (it has a small hole/crack/missed a small chunk), NEVER address the paint issue at all. He offered a solution that I drop the shoes to UPS location before sending me a new pair. So far, it has been 13 days in dealing with the issue. It took 7 days for me receiving the shoes. With that solution he offered, I will have to wait for at least another 14 days for receiving a good pair of shoes. That would be 27 days total, almost 1 month. Imaging you spent $200 for a brand new boot and expect it in a perfect condition but found it has quality issues, and the company customer service is SO HARD to reach and AVOID addressing quality issues properly. And you have to wait for at least 27 days for exchange with multiple calls to Amazon and emails with the Thursday Boot company. Plus taking an additional trip to local UPS. DONT WASTE your money and TIME. NOT WORTH IT.

The Thursday boots Chelsea boots I ordered were very good quality, but unfortunately they didn't fit my foot. It was no problem at all to exchange the model for the Thursday boots Captain, which are also high quality and fit my foot very well. During the entire ordering process, I was assisted by very competent and friendly staff who monitored the delivery and offered immediate solutions when difficulties arose. I would like to see such a reliable and transparent service from many German companies. Thank you!

Great boots. The leather is good quality and the construction is solid, with sturdy soles that can handle moderate winter weather. Thursday hits that sweet spot in the ratio of price-to-quality. Also very comfortable right out of the box - hardly any break-in required. Very happy with them.

My first pair of quality shoes and I was really surprised at the difference! Leather feels strong and looks smooth. Everything just feels stronger if that makes sense. The fit for me is as expected. I am a 8.5 sneaker and 8.5 works for me here too. I tried size 8 first like others have said and they were too tight. I have owned them for two weeks now. They get more comfortable everyday as they get more broken in. I would recommend.

Order your true size if you have wider feet, took a little breaking in as the suede is hardy stuff. Well worth it !

Boots came within 2 days of ordering. If I ordered off their site, I would have to wait at least a week or two. They are comfortable right out of the box. Sizing is pretty accurate. Maybe a little bit on the larger side. Not as light as my Blundstones. A bit on the heavier side as they are Goodyear welted. Solid construction and the water resistance suede is a bonus.
