    Thursday Diplomat Boot Review - Moc toe boots like Red Wing and Thorogood are notorious for having a clown like toe but Thursday boots are one of the only afford boots that look good on your feet and claim to have the quality to match some of the best moc toe boots in the world.

      Most WP or Goretex boots use a sock liner inside the boot-you still need to maintain the WP treatment on the exterior, otherwise your boot will still soak up water, etc. GT boots will be a little warmer, as the GT membrane makes it harder to breathe/vent moisture and heat.

According to Thursday, they also say not use conditioners on the leather as it will darken it and take away that unique characteristic of the leather. We'll see how that holds up over time, but so far, with a few months of wear I do love the look and how it is wearing for a truly unique look with every pair of boots.

    My wife bought me my first pair of Thursday boots & first pair of Moc boots this past Christmas. I wear a 11 EE in boots as we know Thursday doesn't make these in wide. Their size chart suggested I get size 12. They fit perfect first time I put them on. They were that tight feeling like a new boot should be before breaking in. After 2 hours of wearing them they were already broke in. To me after few hours they were the most comfortable boot I've ever owned. The boots seemed to have lot oil in leather but after wearing them a couple times the leather seemed to soak it in. I used Red Wings mink oil & worked a light coating in. After couple more uses the leather soaked that in. I ended up putting 1 light coating & 2 moderate coatings of mink oil on them. Each time the leather got softer & boots become surprisingly more comfortable. I wear them 2-3 times a week. I've never owned a tennis shoe that feels as good as these boots. It's now April & I'm already wanting to buy the Arizona & Black leather boots so I can have all 3 colors.
    Not everyone's feet are the same & these boots may not feel like they do on another person's feet as they do mine. But I think keeping the leather oiled is the key. It really softened it & helped the boots to break in to the point where they went beyond my expectations.

I have 3 other Thursday boots, none of them in black leather, so it's more for variety. I agree with you that a rough suede like the "Sandlewood" Presidents would look good on this boot.

    I like how Thursday's is always evolving their products! If you had a bad pair a few years ago you would probably be surprised with a new pair! I am pleasantly surprised with the guts of these boots. I'm in the market for a motorcycle boot that will absorb a lot of the vibration. Nicks makes one but I wonder if they will absorb vibration that much better since Thursday's uses the same outsole. Can't wait to see you crack White's open and see if they are worthy meet in the middle type of boot.

    • @waxa3869
      @waxa3869 3 года назад

      When it comes to a pair for riding, my bets would be on something like the Thorogood personally. The poron layer they have in most of their stuff as well as the insoles should do a better job of shock absorption than natural materials. You can get taller models as well iirc. This is just speculation though cause I've personally never owned their moc-toes, only a pair of one of their other models.
      Depending on how bad the windchill is in your area though, them being unlined might be an issue. Thick socks I guess?

      @BradleyHansonPhotography 3 года назад +2

      I just bought these a week ago. They fit similarly to my other Thursdays, (slightly shorter and rounder toe box), which is close to your Brannock length. I am a 12.6 or so on the Brannock and found I needed a 13 in the Thursdays to get enough room for my big toe. (12.5 was close, but got a little toe rub). What Weston touches on perfectly is how great the arch support feels right a way. I wish my other Thursdays had this additional rise in the arch because you feel planted and comfortable. To compare, I wear a 12 in the Red Wing moc toe last and a 14 in Nike/Puma, so I'm a size up from Red Wing and a full size down from my old school sneaker size.

    • @BradleyHansonPhotography
      @BradleyHansonPhotography 3 года назад

      @Billy Jane The important thing is to have a frame of reference. Every brand fits differently and sneakers fit differently than dress shoes or work boots. Since "true to size" is relatively meaningless, I use the Brannock device size as a reference. I measure as about 12.6 on the Brannock device. Most of my sneakers are size 14, but I wear a 13 in most shoes and boots. The Thursday 13s fit me with enough toe room. I could probably squeeze down to a 12.5 with thin dress socks, but I prefer thicker wool socks with boots, especially in the winter. Short story: I went down ONE full size compared to my sneakers, but I'd stick with your Brannock device size for Thursday boots. Sneakers are not a good reference point as not all Adidas/Nike/Puma fit the same, either. Get measured on a Brannock device in a shoe store for sure...

    Haha. I have what’s called a fallen arch. Flatter than flat can be. Excellent balance. And shoes with an arch kill me. My husband, has a super high arch. And his Red Wings can fatigue his feet. I can’t wait to send these to him.
    You seriously do a service to boot companies by reviewing their boots like this. Bravo great review. I’m always on the hunt for new footwear for the hubs.
    Have a wonderful day y’all.

    I have an older pair of Diplomats that have the regular studded sole instead of a wedge sole and they are my favorite boots to wear. The moc toe is a little less swelled that the the one you have and the leather is the Natural color Horween CXL. I've had them maybe 3 or 4 years and I can't say enough good stuff about them. I love all 4 pair of Thursday boots that I own, but I like my Diplomats the best.

    I got two pairs from Thursday, both were disappointing in some ways, first pair was a captain in brown and the tongue has given me issues like you mentioned in your video but honestly not bad for a first boot so I put them to good use. Got that first pair in a size 8 and fit perfectly at first, felt really comfy. A couple years later I ordered a black Matte from their rugged and resilient line (which is probably the leather you are seeing here) in size 8 as well (same style as first: captain) and they were more snug around the toe box and my toes were pressing against the front of the boot. Now this is partially my fault because I thought I just needed to break them in and then my toes wouldn’t be so pressed up against the front but being new to boots I didn’t know better . A coupe of painful months go by and they’re still uncomfortable in the toe box, which again is surprising because the first pair fit perfectly. I email them and ask them if they changed the last and they said they did but that “most customers didn’t notice” so I shouldn’t either essentially, basically saying “that’s a you problem” despite not disclosing this information on their site. 1 year later I have that black pair in a closet untouched because they are too painful to wear and just remind of the bad customer service, definitely not buying boots from them again and it really sucks because I love the look of them. Oh also there’s a “Thursday drop” which means after a couple of years, the foam inside just goes flat and the boots become uncomfortable. Sorry for long comment just thought I’d share my experience with them.

      I have a pair of captains that I bought in 2020 in a 9.5 and love them. Ordered a new pair last year in 2021 in 9.5 and they were also now to small for me in the toe box so I had to resell them for a loss and order a 10. Also tried out their moc toe which I also had to go with a 10. The tongue shifts to the side as you walk in them thru out the day and the eyelets become exposed to rubbing on your skin even thru your sock. They are jagged and become painful to walk in unless you tie them super tight with both speed hooks to try and prevent the tongue from shifting to one side of the shoe. Had to sell those for a loss too.

    for a change of pace from all the relevant comments, I'm gonna praise the sponsorship bit. I was truly JUST thinking yesterday about how nasty protein snacks are, but otherwise they'd be so useful. they were always fooling me too, like, "look, I'm a delicious protein brownie. oh, I'm just like a candy bar." but then it's TERRIBLE. but multiple ppl in the shop bought in on the taste of a built bar and helped eat the box??!! will definitely try

      Most high quality boots that aren’t 360 good year welted have a bunch of nails in the sole pointing towards to foot but people rarely have issues with it so I wasn’t too concerned. If you want to see a crazy one check out my nicks builder pro video it’s called something like “why are 80+ nails in this boot”

I wasn’t sure to begin with if these were going to be a good investment or if I should just pony up and get the more expensive and now elusive RedWing 8849 in black prairie leather. But I’m glad I went with the Thursdays.
    They are great value and if price is of a concern they are a great option.
    I do agree about the lining however. I’d have preferred a just a thicker piece of leather tbh.

    I think these are the first ones I’ve seen that I’d maybe consider over the redwings. I own a couple Thursday boots and I do like the slimmer, dressier style. I think in this case I’d still go with the redwings just because it’s easier to find them at physical locations. This is a pretty strong contender.

It's a USA made wedge boot with a leather Goodyear welt at the same price point as the Thursday's. I don't know much more but as they are made in the USA I would really like to see a video about them.

I like a lot the fit, I have a wide toes, high arch, but regular ankles, they fit me better than red wings, truly enjoy this boots, I bought them because of your video, your channel is so helpful, thank you so much.

    I own a pair of Thursday's Vanguard boots in the Burnt Copper and I absolutely love the leather. According to Thursday, they also say not use conditioners on the leather as it will darken it and take away that unique characteristic of the leather. We'll see how that holds up over time, but so far, with a few months of wear I do love the look and how it is wearing for a truly unique look with every pair of boots.

    First off love the series for moc toes! Second you hit the nail on the head! I have the older version of this boot (the diplomat) when they made it look like alden’s Indy, and the problem I had was the center seam blowing out! Now 35$ from a local cobbler later I had it fixed. But let me tell you, I’ve put that boot through some good paces and it’s still kicking! And the customer service they offer is top notch. (This was about 2.5 years ago).

    Wow! Great review and Thanks for making these videos! I recently came into the market for a couple pairs of boots and stumbled upon your videos and I am certainly glad I did since your reviews and analysis are exactly what I am I wanting in a review! I've been waiting for the Thursdays review since the start of Moctober. Now that I've seen it, it sounds like the Thursdays are a good option if I want a Moc-Toe that won't need to handle a lot of work other than in an office or just want a really well built fashionable moc-toe look. I never heard of the Whites, so I am interested to see your review before I pull the trigger. It would be great to see a cut-up of some of the Army's and Marine Corps boots (Bellville, Danner, Bates and whoever else is currently making Army and Marine boots) so that both Soldiers and Marines know what are the ones to stay away from. I can imagine a lot of people would send in various pairs for that type of review! Keep up your great work and I'll keep supporting and recommending your channel!
