    AE, Alden, Viberg are all great but I have 4 kids, a mortgage, and am the sole breadwinner. Thursday’s met my budget needs at $199 and for what you get, I couldn’t be more pleased. Goodyear welted so they can be re-soled when the time comes, well crafted, and good leather quality.

    I got these: www.thursdayboots.com/products/mens-brown-captain?collection=boots

    They have slip on Chelsea style also. They run about a half size smaller than tennis shoes.

    I am very frugal and spent almost a year doing research, reading reviews, and even watched a video of a shoe cobbler taking them apart and discussing how they compare to more expensive brands before I took the plunge. Sad I know...but I am convinced that for a new shoe/boot, you cannot beat their prices for how well they are made. YMMV.
    I clicked on this thread out of curiosity and hoping I might find a good place to find a pair of chukkas. I wanted something that would last and would work mainly with cargo pants but might be okay with chinos. Using the above link I found these: https://thursdayboots.com/products/m...s-boots-chukka

    I typically go for cheap, or stuff I find on closeout. I'm 69 and I think I'm out of that mode now.

    Get your Brannock size and then check r/Goodyearwelt. You should be able to nail your size off the bat with their info. Hell, get me your size and I'll poke around for ya.

    I have been flirting with the nicer boot world for the better part of the year now. A deputy in my office who is even harder core than me about footwear (Alden is his non duty boot of choice) raves about Thursday boots because he can get something that looks good in a jacket and tie when he goes to court but still has a rubber sole such that he can run move and fight in if needed.

    I tried on his 12s and they were too small. I would be inclined to go 13 based on that experience thought perhaps I could get by on a 12.5 with a dress sock.

    Some random shoe size data points that may or may not be helpful for you. I have been 13 trending to the narrow side in Allen Edmonds dress shoes, Ecco dress shoes,Brooks Adrenaline GTS running shoes And most other shoes for 35+ years.

    I purchased a pair of Red Wings iron rangers from Redwing after being measured on their device as a 12 on one foot and a 12 pushing 12 1/2 on the other. I was fit with 11s and told to break them in. I have done so in a satisfactory manner with both those iron wings and a pair of blacksmiths.

    I took a chance on a pair of wolverine brand 1000 miler’s at 11 1/2 because I caught them on such a good deal. No real break in as there was with the Red Wings.

    I just recently purchased a pair of Danner Bull Runs Lux limited editions on line in 12s after going to-a local store that did not carry the model I was after.

    All of that to say-If I had doubts I would buy the two sizes and send the one back that did not fit. Life is short and my time has value.

    YMMV. Tell us what u so and why.

    Urban assault shoes just came in. they seem well made and relatively rugged, the toe is nicely reinforced. Camo pattern is pretty slick and I appreciate the subdued nature of the pattern. Time to operate operationally.

    Thursday Boot Co. Captain Sizing

    My new Thursday Boot Co. Captain boots arrived about 1 week after ordering. This was commendable given that I80 was closed a portion of the delivery time. In accordance with the web site suggestion, I ordered 1/2 size smaller than my usual athletic shoe size. The fit is good. Quality also seems excellent. Now it’s time for some break in. Best, ELN.

    I've had these for about a week now and like them. I'm used to chukkas being soft suede and these aren't, though they're not super stiff. I estimate that they're about half-broken in. Ordering them a half-size smaller than my running shoes was about right.

    How were they sized relative to your brannock size?

    I have the gray low tops and like them. I wasn't super thrilled about the rubbery insoles. I just replaced them with some Superfeet FLEX insoles. Hopefully that works better for me.

    Yes the insoles leave something to be desired. I haven't replaced them yet but I probably will soon enough.

    Old Keens finally crapped out, so needed some "hiking shoes".
    https://www.salomon.com/en-us/shop/p...ml#color=48679

    Wanted the grey but only the green were available at the time, backordered the grey in case they didn't come in by the time I leave for my trip. Grey turned up in time, so I had the opportunity to get a pic of both side-by-side.

    of course, being the snowflake that I am, I really wish the tan sole was on the green and the black on the grey, but ultimately decided to keep the grey. Had the green had the tan sole that would have been my choice.

    But overall I *really* like the appearance of the shoe. Here's hoping I don't decide I hate the fit 3 miles in to a hike in Moab in two weeks!
