If you’ve ever bought a pair of Thursday Boots that felt too tight or too loose, you know how frustrating it can be. The good news is that finding the perfect size is simple once you know the right steps. Below you’ll get straight‑forward instructions for measuring your foot, reading the brand’s size chart, and making smart choices when you try the boots on.
First thing you need is an accurate foot measurement. Grab a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler. Stand on the paper with your weight evenly distributed, then trace the outline of your foot. Measure the distance from the heel to the longest toe – that’s your foot length. Do the same for the width at the ball of the foot. Write both numbers down in centimeters or inches, depending on the chart you’ll use.
Measure both feet because one foot is often slightly bigger. Use the larger measurement for sizing. If you’re between sizes, round up – a snug boot will feel uncomfortable after a short walk.
Thursday Boots provides a size chart that converts foot length to their UK, US and EU sizes. Find the chart on their product page and locate the row that matches your foot length. Some models have a dedicated column for width, usually labeled ‘Narrow’, ‘Standard’ or ‘Wide’. Pick the width that matches the measurement you took.
When you see a half‑size option, don’t ignore it. Boots often have a little room to grow, so a half‑size up can be the sweet spot if you’re on the edge. If the chart shows a range (e.g., 26.0‑26.5 cm for a size 8), choose the size that covers your exact foot length.
After you’ve selected a size, read the product’s return policy. Some Thursday Boots styles have a break‑in period, and the brand may allow free returns if the fit is off. Knowing this ahead of time saves you a headache later.
When the boots arrive, try them on with the socks you plan to wear most often. Walk around the house, climb a step and pay attention to any pinching or slipping. The heel should stay in place, and your toes need a little wiggle room. If the boots feel tight at the forefoot but the heel is secure, you might need a half‑size larger or a wider width.
If you still can’t decide, consider ordering two sizes and returning the one that doesn’t fit. Thursday Boots ships quickly, so you’ll have both pairs in a few days. This trial method works well for tricky fits like narrow calves or high arches.
Remember, the right size makes the difference between a boot that looks great and one that hurts your foot. Follow the measuring steps, compare with the chart, and test the boots at home – you’ll be confident in your purchase and ready to rock your new Thursday Boots.
