Thursday Boot CompanyWomen's Captain Cap Toe Ankle Boots

Tbh, beautiful boot. Love the look even more than expected. I wear sizes US 8-9, most commonly 8.5. I ordered a size 9 as it is recommend to size 1/2 size up from your sneaker size.Girlfriend, when I tell you that these were tight: they were so tight. It felt tight on the top of my foot oddly and the dominant foot did feel squeezed into the toe box. The heels felt l was pushing them up against a concrete wall. I do think it’s pretty inconvenient that these do not run in typical sizing and it would be better suited for Thursday to offer an actual size measurement guide or fit template. This is pretty unfortunate to return and pocket another order in the meantime. Plus, they don’t arrive prime-quick because they have to be shipped to Amazon first I guess? Whatever the case, this would just be a huge improvement for first time buyers.Sitting with them on for about 30 minutes: my toes were numb. Super unfortunate, but returning to try an additional half size up. Will report back to let you know if this worked for me!Five stars because they are pretty and smell like Jackson’s Western Store (lol) but also because I don’t want to be karmically punished for leaving a low star review. Just read my words people and heed the warning.EDIT: sizing up worked! If these are tight at all around your toes, they shouldn’t be. You probably have the wrong size. My mom usually wears size 8 but sometimes 8.5. She tried the 9’s on and took them :D my 9.5 were not tight at all and didn’t even require much break in.

Initially the boots worked well: they fit great, even with thick boot socks and looked amazing. By the third wear, one of my lace loops caught an eyelet and pulled it from clean the boot. Far less expensive boots have held their integrity for at least a year and a half of daily wear before breaking down. Additionally the heel of the boot continued to chafe. For $200 dollars I was hoping for much more. This boot looked amazing and I was excited, so it was a huge disappointment when things went downhill after only three wears.

Originally ordered 8.5, and it was entirely too tight. The 9 is a bit long, but fits nicely around the middle of my foot. Love the look and quality of these boots!!

Terribly uncomfortable!! WAY too small. I even sized up. Your sizing is incorrect.

Will be used in Africa.

I wear a 9 in women's, so I went with the suggestion to go a half size up, but they were still too small. I gambled with going up another full size to a 10.5, which I've never worn in my life, but the fit was perfect. Wore them out that night, I was expecting at some point to get blisters or chafing since they are brand new, but never did. This a very comfortable, attractive boot, and the leather smell is wonderful.
