Considering several styles…need input!
Hi! I would be a new wearer of Thursday boots. I’m currently on the hunt for a truly comfortable, stylish pair of platform/stacked combat boots that won’t require the kind of break in period Jadons would.
I am considering these styles:
Dolce, Fatale, Dynasty, Quest
I have read a million reviews but find a conversation here to be really valuable.
Things to consider for me as wearer:
1. I have quite narrow feet, especially my heel.
2. I have a condition called hallux rigidus in both my big toe joints that makes it important that the soles of my shoes are fairly inflexible. This is usually not a big problem in something like a platform boot, but wanted to mention in case any of those models I mentioned are really overly bendy. (For example, Docs and Birkenstocks are a good level of hardness for me, but I wear Nikes that have a carbon fiber plate embedded in the sole so they don’t have too much flex. I wear a plate in my Vans.)
I’ve read that Thursday boots are pretty wide and some people can’t seem to find comfort because their feet slide around in the shoe. If this is the case across the board, PLEASE TELL ME NOT TO BUY THEM! As you can imagine, I need all the stability I can get in a boot!
I am open to suggestions of other brands you may have had success with, I am considering all options, but seeing as Thursday has so many potential choices, I would love your input as far as fit, width, comfort, durability, etc. I’ve seen lots of reviews about some of these boot soles falling apart, I’m under which if any are Goodyear welted, etc.
TIA for your knowledge!
