Thanks Nick your recent videos have been a godsend with Christmas around the corner. I was having trouble on deciding which Thursday Chelsea to get and my son was trying to decide which Huckberry waxed jacket to get. You helped make the decisions much easier. The random pistol squat keeps the videos interesting.

Thanks so much for the support🙌

been watching some of your videos on thursday boots and i gotta say you sell the shit out of them! you’ve helped me decide thank you! videos are fantastic

I have a pair of Thursday boots. “The president” boots. I filled them with socks to break them in a few days before spending a week in Paris (20k+ steps per day) and they were great. Comfortable and good quality. Just bought another pair today.

Interesting timing. I just got my Shadow Grey Cavaliers yesterday. Instantly became my most comfortable boots.

I really want a pair of these and this video just confirmed it for me. Thanks for all the great content.

I got a pair for Christmas, in my usual size, but surprisingly I found they were too small. I exchanged them for a half size up, they get here tomorrow, hoping for a better fit. I think it might be because of the lower profile. I have narrow feet but very high arches.

I got mine, worn once, shadow gray off Merceri for $95. I’m very pleased with my first pair of Chelsea’s. Yes they are an entry level boot but I only wear mine twice a month maybe so they should last me a while. Btw I own Whites and Redwing usually, and looking forward to ordering a pair of Nicks I hope. For the money I don’t think Thursday can be beat. Just wish it came with leather midsole instead of the poron but I also understand that it’s for immediate comfort whereas I like to have a boot breaking in to my feet for that custom fit.

Good video, Nick! I agree with you on just about everything there. I bought a pair of Cavaliers a few years ago when they released. Grey suede option. My size was actually incorrect as well from the rest of my usual size in Thursday. It was about half a size too big. I wonder if that last was the same throughout up until the change you’re mentioning? I never did end up wearing my pair on more than a few occasions, and they became a part of my brother’s closet after about a year. I honestly didn’t like the shape & fit. My ankles are fairly narrow. Jodhpurs are more my thing w/ a taller shaft now! Nice work :-)

Planning on the tan ones for my next purchase. I like my dukes but sometimes they’re almost a little too casual.

Those Chelseas look great, I was looking forward to your review! I like a lot the sleek silluete and nappy suede. Definitely on my list. I’m interested in the wide option. And I agree the pull tabs on Chelseas are a nuisance 😂 by the way, you could make a video about denim’s openings (tapered, regular, etc). I find it that less than 7’ opening is good, over that looks flared.

Thursday boots are really good for the price period. There are certainly better boots out there but what Thursday's offer for the price cannot be overlooked in anyway.

Ah, the return of the pistol squat! Bravo, sir!

I have the Shadow Grey Caviler and really like em, I just wish the opening was a little slimmer. I also have the Duke in the honey suede and the black pair. I like how those hug my ankle better. My jeans don't seem to fit as well over the wider opening of the Caviler. Good video though.

I haven't even watched the video yet, but I love these boots. I never thought I'd want a chelsea boot, but after warming up to the idea, this was my first pair. I got the shadow grey, and they're so cool and comfortable. Would definitely recommend :)

I love the fit and look of my sand stone cavaliers.

Great overview! 🥾

I bought the Legend. It’s the Duke with that chunky sole. Glad I got them.

I have the Cavaliers in black and they look great! They dress up really well and can also be worn with jeans.

After trying many Thursday make ups this is their only boot that works for me. I really like the Cavalier.

For people in Europe, I will give a shout-out to the Meermin wholecut Chelsea. I got a pair in Waxy Commander Suede with a commando sole, with a veg tan leather insole, and they are slightly cheaper than buying Thursdays...and super comfortable (although a more challenging break in than any Thursdays I own). That said, I don't own any boots more comfortable than my Captains.

Maybe this is just an issue that I had. I had a pair of Cavaliers from 2020 and the ankle was far too loose. I couldn’t stop my heel from getting blisters despite my foot fitting the shoe width-wise

Love my cavaliers just wish I had gone up half a size I only have like 5ish days in so hope they stretch a bit. Got them for a wedding and they looked spot on with a slim fitting suit

Hi Nick - terrific video review. A few years ago when I discovered Thursday Boots i wanted a pair of Chelsea boots and ordered the Dukes. I had to exchange them 3 times for size. Then a salesperson suggested i try the Cavaliers (don't know why it took them 3 exchanges to figure that out) and i ended up purchasing two pair. The Shadow Grey suede and the dark brown suede. I think they are terrific. I wear a 7 1/2 in sneakers and a 7 fit perfectly in the Cavaliers...I'm heading to London and Paris in December and was thinking about taking a pair of the cavaliers with me but because of the amount of rain at that time of year i decided maybe it wasn't a good idea so i decided to get a pair of the Cadet. I have never owned a lace up boot before. I got the Rich Mahogany leather and the front of the boot hits my ankle and is rather painful. The company said it will loosen up but i don't know how long i would need to break them in before i am without discomfort. They suggested some creams or even go to a cobbler to have them stretched but after spending 200 i'd rather not h ave to take them to a cobbler and if i do i might not be able to return them. So i'm wandering my apartment for a couple hours seeing if that will do the trick. Anyway, I have a feeling that i will exchange them for a leather Cavalier in the Rich Mahogany. I will be wearing these a lot i think while i'm in Europe (I also have a dress event one night and didn't want to take too many pairs of footwear. My question is do you think I will experience the same issue with the top of the Cavaliers in leather causing the same discomfort as the Cadets? Sorry for the novela. I just want to make sure i'm making the correct choice for my trip abroad.

Reminds me of the Bitflex from Astorflex made in Italy, but have a crepe sole. They are definitely a classy pair of boots and very comfy for me personally. These look pointy in a way that doesn't work for me and the outsole is obviosly diffirent... I think crepe can be dressy so long as it's maintained properly.

How does Thursdayboots size compare to Acemarks for example 10.5 E is a perfect fit in Acemarks. What would be Thursdayboots comparable sizing.

Could you please do a video on Chrome XL leather versus wax tanned?

I wish Cavalier had the Dark Olive green. So Nick and anyone else. What's your color vote for Cavalier between shadow grey and dark brown? Can the shadow grey go with more clothing colors, or should I stick to brown? Thanks.

Any advice on carrying keys with your denim jeans I usually carry in my back right pocket but sitting down gets uncomfortable sometimes. And is it normal for my boots to keep hurting the top of my ankle

Just ordered a pair! Thanks for calling them out as the "dressy" option.

Wow, excellent one legged pistol. I gotta start doing that lol

I like Thursdays and even recommend then to friends getting into boots. The only thing I don't like anymore is the insole and midsole. My Thursday President's insole wore through the sock liner and the foam underneath it in two years when I already rotate the boots. They midsole and foam on the insole doesn't breathe that well. Other than that, they're good boots. I like their lasts and would happily pay a bit more if they used full leather insoles and leather/leather board midsoles.

Hey pal. I love your video's. I have learned so much from your content. 10/10 for me. I would like to see you do a video on the Beckett Siminon Elliot Balmoral boot. I just bought a pair of them so I would like to see a video on them. There is a super good sale going on right now. All boots on their website are $169 when their boots are normally $239 per boot. Good luck!

I want to get the cavaliers with the shadow grey colorway

Nice review, Nick. Are you planning on doing a Legend's review soon? I'm looking for a Chelsea I can wear in the snow and inclement weather and am considering it in Tobacco.

Can you do a Thursday Titan boot review?

How come there are so many pictures of worn out soles on Amazon??? I live in Manhattan and feel like im gonna burn through these things in a few short months

I like Thursday boots. The variety is great and the size selection really help the wide feet crew. How about their tennis shoes?

Dam this is a good looking boot! If these were $100 more I think customers would still purchase them

How long does the leather sole last with regular wear? I have the Cavalier in hickory brown leather and I've been hesitant to make them a regular, near-daily wear because of the leather sole. Compared to my Iron Rangers or my Dukes, it feels fragile even for normal city flânerie. But maybe I'm hypersensitive to it.

The Cavalier is a nice boot. If only they added the pull tab from the Duke. Make it so much easier to put this boot on.

Personally I find the insole a bit mushy and slippery. My feet always slide a bit inside and it gives me the nail on chalkboard feeling. More arch support would also be great. Everything else is awesome though. They are very good looking and more durable than anything I'll be doing.

The Cavalier is the only Thursday Chelsea that comes in wide. Made it an easy choice.

It ain't a mother scratchin Stridewise video unless you see Nick doing a pistol squat. 😯 I'd like to get some Thursday Chelsea boots. I absolutely love my suede Harness boots from them in dark brown. I have a pair of black Red Wing Sheldon boots that I dig but I'd like another black pair of boots, or at least something that'll go good with black pants (like gray boots).

Can you do a video on the Allen Edmonds Fifth Ave or Park Ave?

I know this is old, but is it labeled as D width?

I'm a big fan of Chelsea boots, Do you know if they have a women's size,? I live in Holland, and I need new boots.

They should have a matte black version of it, I wish their dress shoe would be offered in matte black too, they’re all out of stock

Just needs a leather insole, or at least one that you can change out :(

I'm convinced these KZfaqrs are sponsored by Thursday, never seen so many videos about one brand, they are okay at best that's it

I have two pairs Quality

It’s a great entry level shoe brand without a doubt. They did something great. I personally would spend some more bread in Oro LA Chelsea boot or carmina. They are heat

Both of these boots have the weather suede

Are they more sleek in shape than the captain?

Every bookmaker should be tanking TBC, for giving people their first taste…😉

Imo "boot" is not the right term for Chelseas I consider them a "High-Top" dress shoe

I don't like Chelsea boots because they lack any character or excitement when viewed from the front or from above. I like the different ways laces are tied according to the type of dress you wear and the amount of lockdown you need.

What do you say to critics who claim Thursday boots lack quality and your support of the company is misguided.

Maybe it's just me, but this felt like a lazy video, @Stridewise didn't even took the time to research what is particular about the"oil snuff suede" or if its just regular suede...

A great review as always, Nick, but the outrageously annoying background "music" was unbearable. Couldn't finish watching it. Please don't torture us with that again!

Get your fashion nova boots out of here! 😂 💃🏻

How do these compare to the To Boot New York’s Shelby Chelsea?

I respect Thursday boots specially the ones wITH VIBRAM soles but the Chelseas look cheap
