What size men's boots/shoes should I order?
While fit may vary by style, we typically recommend ordering ½ size smaller than you normally wear in sneakers, or the same size you wear in other high quality leather boots or dress shoes. If you are between sizes, order the smaller size. (We recommend sizing down because leather naturally stretches to form to your feet over time. An initially snug fit is the best way to start off a long-term relationship with your boots.)
Still unsure? Send us an email. We'd love to help you find the right size!
What size women's boots should I order?
While fit may vary by style, we typically recommend ordering either the same size or ½ size larger than you normally wear. If you are between sizes, order the larger size.

What width are your men's boots/shoes? Do you offer wider/narrower widths?
Unless otherwise noted, all men’s footwear is listed in our custom ‘Standard’ width. The Standard width most closely conforms to a traditional D width, which fits about 80% of the United States population. It’s also slightly wider in a few areas to make the fit more comfortable. We also recommend the Standard width for customers who commonly purchase E widths.
In select models, we also offer a ‘Wide’ width option, which is best for customers who wear EE or EEE widths. (See a full list of styles available in Wide here.)
Many customers who wear EE widths have had success ordering ½ size larger than their normal size in our Standard width. Similarly, many customers who purchase C widths have had success ordering ½ size smaller in our Standard width.
If you wear a size or width that is not currently available, let us know by filling out this form. We’re always evaluating what sizes to add, and this really helps us decide what to do next!

What width are your women's boots? Do you offer wider/narrower widths?
All of our styles are currently available in a traditional B width, which fits about 80% of the United States population. If you are slightly wider (C width), we suggest trying a ½ size up. If you are slightly narrower (A width), we suggest trying a ½ size down. We don't currently offer wider or narrower widths for women's boots.

Why do Thursdays cost so much less than other brands?
Our footwear is handcrafted alongside similar products from other brands that charge you in $300-800 per pair. Through responsive production, a lean business model, and long-term thinking, we’re able to make zero compromises in terms of quality materials, manufacturing, or business ethics and provide you a best-in-class product at a good price. We believe that offering you a great value is the foundation to long-term business success and is the right thing to do.
What makes Thursdays so comfortable?
We build our footwear with comfort in mind. In our core line, we use a glove leather lining for a soft touch, a cork bed midsole that conforms to your foot over time, and an EVA foam comfort strip (used in athletic shoes) to provide shock absorption. An anti-fatigue steel shank embedded between the insole and outsole provides arch support and additional stability. The end result is a comfortable footbed and a very smooth ride.
What type of leather do you use?
All of our leather starts with hides from the USA, France, or Italy. These premium selection hides are then tanned in North America or Italy at some of the most renowned tanneries in the world. Our two largest partners include the gold certified Le Farc tannery in Mexico and the world famous Horween tannery in Chicago. Le Farc was a finalist in the Americas region for the Tannery of the Year award in 2013 and is gold-certified for environmental sustainability by the Leather Working Group. Horween has been in operation since 1905 and is one of the best known tanneries in America. Aside from making the revered Chromexcel leather that we use, they are also the official leather provider to the NFL.
What should I wear my Thursdays with?
We started Thursday to bring quality and versatility back to footwear. We put an enormous amount of effort into making footwear sophisticated enough for special occasions but still dependable enough for everyday wear. For some style ideas from other customers, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or check out our blog!
Is your footwear waterproof/water resistant?
Our boots and shoes are water resistant and will keep your feet dry on typical rainy days, but we wouldn't recommend standing around in puddles in them. Products with welt construction feature a leather welt between the upper leather and the sole. This helps create a barrier against water entering the shoe (and makes them easily resoleable).
Note: Our suede products use the same top-tier construction methods and feature some added preventative protection; however, these leather types don't play as well with water, so we recommend trying to keep them dry.
What is Goodyear welt construction?
Goodyear welting is the gold standard method for footwear construction, and used in only the top 1% of men’s shoes. It creates a virtually waterproof seal at the insole and makes your shoes completely resoleable. In a Goodyear welt, the thread is sewn through the welt, the upper, and the insole rib. Through a separate stitch, the welt is attached to the outsole. For both of these stitching points, a lockstitch is used. While it is time intensive and requires specific machinery, it prevents the stitch from unraveling if it breaks down at any particular point in the shoe. This means that with proper care, the Thursdays you buy today will last you for years to come.
While most of our footwear features Goodyear welt construction, we also use Veldtschoen, stitchdown (The Scout) and Storm welt (The Explorer) constructions. These construction methods are also resoleable and highly water-resistant.
What is WeatherSafe™ Suede?
Soft and supple with surprising strength and longevity, it’s suede with an upgrade. Starting with natural suede from Tier 1 USA Cattle, the WeatherSafe™ collection features a blended solution of waterproof and hydrophobic compounds introduced to the leather at the start of the tanning process. This slower and more methodical approach allows the proprietary blend, rich in oils and waxes, to penetrate deep within the leather.
When introduced to water, a clathrate-like structure is created between the molecules of liquid water to reduce the surface area tension between the liquid and leather. In simpler terms, our WeatherSafe™ solution helps prevent water from penetrating into the leather.
While the effects are long-lasting, this is still natural suede we are talking about. We don’t want people to think there will not be some water absorption after standing in a puddle, trudging through snow, or the passing of time. The top-layers of the solution will be broken down after repetitive wear and exposure to liquids, especially alcohol.
One of the features we are most proud of is the maintenance of every characteristic of premium suede. We always hated being afraid to wear suede to a crowded venue or whenever we saw a rain cloud. We've been enjoying our WeatherSafe™ suede for a while now, and are excited to give people a chance to lace up their suede footwear with a little more confidence.

Currently, this option is only available to customers in the contiguous United States. (Note: Expedited orders placed after 2pm ET will process the next business day. Orders do not ship on Saturday, Sunday, or United States holidays.)
If you need your order even faster or have any special circumstances, please send us an email and we will see what we can do.
Do you ship internationally (i.e. outside of the U.S.)? How does it work?
Yes, we ship internationally! Although it’s more expensive and logistically complex, we work hard to ensure our products are available in as many locations as possible and are constantly evaluating ways we can improve the experience for customers around the world.
For more details on shipping to your location, please visit our International Shipping & Returns page here!
The product I want is sold out. What should I do and how often do you restock?
While our products can sell out fast, we regularly restock most core styles on a rolling basis. Though we aren't able to provide exact restock dates for individual styles, the best way to be notified of a restock is to join our waiting list for the size and style you want. This way, you will receive an email as soon as we receive them in stock! To do this, click the “Join Waitlist” button on the product page and we will automatically notify you when your pair is back in stock.
I haven't received my order/shipping confirmation email. What should I do?
If you haven't received an email confirmation yet, there are a few things you can do:
- Check your spam folder. Some email providers might mark our emails as spam.
- If you're using Gmail, check your Promotions inbox by clicking the “Promotions” tab at the top of the page (see image here).
If neither of those things work, send us an email. We'll help update you on your order status. To ensure delivery to your inbox, please add teamthursday@thursdayboots.com to your address book and safe-sender list.
How do I track my order?
Once your order ships, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email and tracking number. If it has been more than two business days since you placed your order and you still have not received a tracking number, send us an email and we will gladly assist you!
My tracking number isn't working. What should I do?
New tracking numbers usually take up to 24 hours to activate from the time you receive your shipping confirmation. If it's been more than 24 hours and your tracking number still isn't working, send us an email and we'll help get you a status update!
I am missing something from my order. What should I do?
Many of our accessories ship separately, so it's perfectly normal for items to arrive at different times. If it's been a few days and you're concerned about the rest of your order, just send us an email and we'll be happy to check the status for you!
How do I change my address once an order has been placed?
Our orders are packaged and shipped out quickly after they are placed to ensure that your boots arrive as soon as possible. Because of this, all address changes must be requested as soon as possible after your order has been placed. We'll do our best to change the shipping address. Depending on the amount of time after the order has been placed, address changes may be subject to a change order fee of $15.
