Great review. I’ve got a pair of the scouts with the weather safe suede and it is mind blowing how water beads up and runs off. If you’ve got non-weather safe suede I highly recommend saphir’s water proof spray. It does a pretty good job at mimicking the weather safe suede of Thursday’s.

Haha! I didn't but Australians do do that. I actually had a whole paragraph about this phenomenon written out in my script for this video but I wound up editing it out, here it is for you: As an Australian I should make it clear that where I’m from, Chelsea boots are more ingrained into Australian culture because the RM Williams Chelsea is part of the country’s DNA. So down under, people are lot happier to wear Chelseas them with a suit than a lot of Americans are. Obviously it comes down to personal preference and the environment you’re wearing them in, but the cavalier Chelsea is the boot to dress up or to wear with more form fitting outfits, liek slimmer jeans. Baggy cuffs don’t work so well with a boot as lean as this.

I have the Dukes in that same dark olive color, but haven't tried the Cavalier. I may have higher sensitivity for big toe rub, but I found that I had to go up to 1/2 up from my Brannock length in the Duke to prevent my big toe from being bent inward. This was a full size down from my casual athletic shoe size. This is quite a bit different from Red Wing Heritage, at least the #8 last. I've found the size 13 Thursday is about the same as the 11.5 Red Wing # 8 (Iron Ranger, Blacksmith, etc). I've also found the Thursday boots to be a LOT more comfortable and don't have any out of the box pain that one deals with on the harder-soled Red Wings...

I got kind of a bad taste in my mouth from the Thursday boots I ordered a couple years ago. I think it was the President, they were black suede and looked sick. But they started delaminating after just regular to light use in a few weeks or so (like the area between the sole and suede upper, by the toes). I guess I probably just got a lemon pair but it's just kinda hard to shake that experience. Maybe I should give them another try though. I'd like to get some Chelsea boots. I will say their customer service was top notch.

Can you really say that Thursday started the "work-dress hybrid" trend, as you call it, when the Captain is just a slim service boot in the style popularized by Viberg? There's a nice visual comparison here for anybody who hasn't seen one: imgur.com/a/QGYkE6u . Thursday seems like one company in a long line trying to capitalize on Viberg's success by selling something very similar at a much lower price. (To be clear, I think that's a good thing. Viberg is priced way outside of most people's budgets.) It's also a bit weird to say that dress boots are usually Blake stitched when basically all high-end American and UK dress shoes and boots are goodyear welted. And hard disagree on ordinary suede. Suede shoes are super easy to care for, since you don't need to condition or polish them. Water marks brush out immediately with a suede brush, and any other marks are usually easy to remove with a suede eraser. And you can hit them with nanoprotector to make them waterproof. (Sorry for what seems like a lot of criticism. I actually really dig your channel!)

Higgins Mill came after Thursday! Viberg does good service boots but not as dress-up-able as Thursday, not as slim/sleek. I think it's still fair to say most dress boots/shoes are Blake stitched, especially European ones. Annnd. Suede? I think it's pretty easy to wreck them, at least if they're dressy shoes you don't want to get an undulating patina on. I guess that one's subjective but if you want dressy you've got to be careful with them. A nanoprotector helps though!
@japesss

@@Stridewise Worn/scuffed suede has its own charm, much like a good patina, and it's basically impossible to wreck with water or liquid - all you need is a suede shampoo and brush to fully restore it. Even strong denim stains can be shampoo'd out and the boots are good as new (my RMW Turnouts in Putty Suede copped it..) I'll never have a pair of Vibergs because of the price of getting them into Australia (despite /r/goodyearwelts obsession with them), but saying they aren't as dressable as Thursday despite the number of last and makeup options available through Viberg directly and their various collabs/MTO's is a bit unfair.

@@Stridewise Yeah I remember watching this and I eventually picked up a pair of the 101477 Balmorals with the pebble-grain upper section and slightly dressier. They are absolutely flawless finish, which for under AUD$400 to your door is ridiculous. I feel like all of the cheaper manufacturers are going to be a bit hit or miss, and I know we've discussed this previously but Grant Stone seems to have the best QA around that cheaper side of the market. My Thursday Rogue's had a heap of loose thread and a couple of loose welt stitches so it's really just a lottery. If you can get your hands on a pair, I'd highly recommend checking out The Thomas George Collection by Fugushin, which is an Australian company that partnered with the Japanese/Vietnamese manufacturer and sells some incredible quality shoes and boots for around that same price point (in AUD). I've got a pair of the Freo Service Boots and they're immaculate.

I've got a pair - not a bad boot but the studded rubber sole inlays wear through very quickly. I'd guess they run about half a size large, and even with very thick ankles and calves I find the straps on my US12's to not go tight enough so had to drill my own holes. One definite positive is they use suede lining in the heel to stop slippage. Honestly I wouldn't buy them again as I picked them up in Dark Olive Suede and struggle to dress them - I've got two pairs of Jodhpurs (RMW Buckle Boots being the second) and they're much easier to dress in a full grain option rather than suede as the higher heel makes them a little bit dressy. Taupe would be more versatile. I know they've had issues with fraying of straps around the ankles with some batches but mine have held up pretty well, but probably looking to sell them as I just don't wear them anymore as I tend to stick to Chelsea's and Service Boots for work and casual due to the versatility.

@@Stridewise cheers Nick, I have my heart set on the RM, can afford them but I have a thing about buying "almost" equal quality for a good price..... AKA "Value" 😂 Maybe worth investing in the Thursdays, see if I can get a few years out of them and they won't break the bank, that being said the RM is £100 more so not so bad. The issue with Thursday is as you mentioned shipping overseas is tricky for returns, I had no issue with my Captains shipped to UK and ended up costing £180. Need to see how they fit compared to Captains so I can get the right size first time.

your reviews are great, Nick :) always appreciate the depth and breadth of your perspective I wanted to ask: how is the width of the toebox? I have a pair of Presidents from Thursday, and while I like them, I think the toebox is slightly too narrow for me even after sizing up .5 sizes from brannock (I have between a D and E width foot). I have a pair of Red Wing Rovers in 7.5 that are basically just right for toe box width How does the Duke's toebox compare to the President or, let's say, Iron Rangers? Thank you!

Hi! I know in the video, you say that the Cavalier looks better with khakis and slacks than with jeans. Would you say that the Duke boots do not really go well with khakis and chinos? If most of my outfits include khakis and slacks, would you say that I would be better off going with the Cavalier? Thanks for putting together such a helpful video!

Hey Jack, that's a tough one. I'd say it depends on how skinny they are. if they're very slim or if they're slacks I'd go with cavalier, otherwise the Duke is fine!

About to pull the plunge on some Dukes. Interesting you say to go true to size on the Dukes but half size smaller (as usual for Thursday boots) on the Cavaliers. You think it would be the other way around because the Cavaliers are a slightly tighter fit. Do you still recommend this?

You think this boot is fairly water proof? Im not planning on jumping in puddles but sometimes water can get flooded and walking in deep snow at times. Will water punch through that fabric/ elastic layer? Ill treat them accordingly before then ofcourse.

I just bought a pair of cavilers and got a half size down from my normal size and they aren’t tight but aren’t big. Should I return them for a whole size down from my normal sneaker or should I keep the ones I have now that are only a half size smaller?
