Finding Your Size

Order ½ size smaller than you normally wear in sneakers. We recommend doing this 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.
Order the same size you normally wear in leather boots or dress shoes. Our boots will have a similar fit to other leather boots you may already own (but much more comfortable!).
Between sizes? Order the smaller of the two. (For example, if you’re choosing between a size 10 and 10.5, order a size 10.)
Need to exchange? No problem! We offer free exchanges and returns for all boots anywhere in the contiguous US, so you can give us a try without stress.

Honest Prices, Highest Quality

Our footwear is handcrafted alongside similar products from other brands that charge customers in the $300-600 price range. We make zero compromises in terms of quality materials, manufacturing, or business ethics (fair labor and sustainability). We simply believe that offering customers a great value is the foundation to long-term business success and is the honorable thing to do.

Responsive Production

All Thursdays are handcrafted in small batches 50/52 weeks per year. By producing in small lots we are able to minimize waste and overhang and churn inventory more quickly. As a result, we don’t have to build the cost of "excess inventory" into our prices, allowing us to pass along those savings to you.

Lean Business Model

Thursday was originally "bootstrapped" with our limited personal savings, which taught us how to be smart with our money. We keep fixed costs low and do almost everything in-house with a hard working team who believes in the mission, opting for equity ownership over high salaries.

Long-Term Thinking

While most "business people" tell us our markup is too low, we disagree. We are forgoing short-term profits in exchange for offering our friends, family, and customers a better value. This is something we are very proud of and believe will pay off in the long-term; after all, great products at a great value never go out of style!
