Men's President Ankle Boot

I love this boot. Mexico always excels in leather making. Taking awhile to break in but good leather always does. The description says order a size SMALLER than your sneaker size but I don’t take advice well and went with my gut; I ordered the EXACT same size as my normal shoe and they fit perfect. They also have 1/2 sizes and WIDE which a quality maker will provide for a good fit. This is a very good quality boot and they look and feel great. The soles stick well on my gravel drive and I’m thinking they could do well on the barn dance floor if there’s plenty of sawdust down. I just need an invitation.. but not holding my breath.🙃

This review will immediately tell you these shoes (boots) are quality. If I bought two pairs, that means the first pair are immaculate. I bought a pair of brown president and a black pair of captains. They are all leather, except the heel and sole, witch are high quality and goes perfectly with the shoe itself. This is the type of shoe that I had as a child, all leather. A very significant thing is, all the inside of the shoe is lined with a glove soft high quality leather. I mean ALL the inside. I am still breaking them in. However, these shoes were not hurtful on your feet right out of the box. I have had them for a week or so and they are becoming more comfortable every day. 200 dollars a pair for shoes are very expensive for me. This is the most that I have ever paid for a pair of shoes. However, after I bought the shoes I have discovered that they're worth every penny. They are described to the exact and are pictured to the exact, on the seller's page. The materials and craftsmanship are of the highest quality. I'm advising you for all fact: the sizing of the shoes run BIG. Maybe I haven't had a real pair of shoes in such a long while, the high quality shoes are a true size compared to a cheap shoe made of manmade materials in China. They are 1 size to 1 and 1/2 size larger than what you normally use. If you use a size 9, order a 7 and 1/2. Once you get the size right, I truly don't believe that you could buy a better made shoe at any price. I hope that I have helped you to get an understanding of what these shoes are like. I can honestly tell you that, I have found NO fault with these shoes in any aspect...

Really nice boots! They are on the long side so size down a half size or more. My son wears a 14 and we had to purchase a 13 as the 14's were way too long. They have amazing grip on the sole and they are a sturdy shoe without being clunky or too heavy.

Got a pair in Brown over a month ago. I really like them and I get compliments on them more often than with any other shoes I have owned before, even random people on the street. However, they are not perfect. Honest thoughts: -The look: great, a bit dressier than your regular captoe. Clean lines, and sharp. I think that is what make people like them and offer compliments on them. From a random lady in the elevator the other day: "I wasn't gonna say anything, but man, those are some really nice looking boots". Conversation starter right there. -The fit: I usually wear 9.5 in sneakers and ordered a pair in size 9, following the company's advice. They fit well lengthwise, but the right boot feels narrower than the left, making the it a bit uncomfortable. I am hoping this will go away once the boot breaks in. No space for extra insoles in this case, if you want extra insoles, or thicker insoles, order your regular size. -The confort: they are rather stiff. Again, I am hoping this goes away once the boot break in. Other people say they feel like sneakers, but I don't think they feel remotely like that, at least not yet. -The weight: they are heavy. Get ready for a different sensation when you wear them, if you are coming from lightweight shoes. -The color: it looks more like burgundy in some lights, which is great, I think that gives the boots some character. If they scratch, that will reveal the underlying color, which I believe is the natural leather color, so it will contrast. -Some people complaint about creases, but my pair is doing ok for now. I don't have shoes trees, but I do avoid stepping on them. -The laces: they are stiff, I may change them at some point.

I wear: Timberland work boots size 8.5 Nikes size 9.5 Other leather boots 9 Florsheim dress shoes 9 I ordered an 8.5 US based on other reviews. This was a good call. The 8.5 fits nicely. I think could get away with an 8 for a more snug fit along the sides of the boot (I’m narrow-footed) and to hug the toes a bit more. But I’m happy regardless. The leather is pretty high-quality and I like the interior texture. Super comfy. I thought they would need more breaking in, but they’re already shaped nicely and are very comfortable. They look great, smell great and feel great. Totally worth the price. I love wearing them!

Very nice solid leather.

These boots are amazing I've worn them every day since I received them in the mail it takes a lil while for them to wear in because of the cork sole but they're really becoming even better I cant wait till it begins to age further

Let me start off by saying these boots are amazing. The quality is superior, especially for the price point. Some poor made boots can be sold for around $150-200, which would fall apart within a year. I originally ordered size 11 off Amazon, but unfortunately they were a bit too big with them slipping up each step. I returned them (completely hassle free and free of charge) and ordered a size 10.5. This sizing seemed to fit better in terms of length but unfortunately the width was far too narrow. I tried to wear them in around the house for an hour or two but had extreme pain. Unfortunately, I have asian/wide feet and was able to notice the shoe width. I returned these to Amazon, free of charge and hassle free. I ordered 10.5 wide (EE/EEE) directly from Thursday Boot Co and wow. Perfect fit! They fit perfectly straight out the box and I just knew the wait and multiple returns was worth it. If anything the boot is a smidgen too wide but i'd much rather this than foot pain etc. Moral of the story. If you have wide feet, asian, european etc - it may be worthwhile to order directly from TBC. Nike sizing: 11 Basketball Nike Sizing 10.5-11 Converse: 10 Thursday Boots 10.5W

I am very glad I ordered these boots. I was a little worried about some folks saying they ordered a size smaller than their normal size. Then I saw a recommendation on Thursday's site to order the same size as you wear in leather dress shoes. I did this which also corresponds to my normal shoe/boot size and they're a good fit. Even before I opened the Amazon packaging I could tell these boots were quality the moment I picked the package up from the porch. The package was hefty. These are well made boots and they look the part. I was considering treating the leather before I wore them for the first time but checked on Thursday's site for care instructions. It's a good thing I did as they do not recommend any treatment for the Rough and Resilient range of leathers which the Tobacco boots are. I did a 2Km walk in them today to start the break in. They are very supportive in the midsole and have good grip/traction. Understandably because they are new they're somewhat stiff but not overly so and I can tell it will not take too long to break in. I feel these will be a very comfortable boot once they're fully broke in. While I cannot speak to durability yet I feel they will last for years and years based on how they're made and of course taking care of them. Overall I am extremely pleased with these boots.
