Thursday Diplomat Moc Toe Boot Review - Last year we cut in half a pair of thursday diplomat moc toe boots as part of moctober.

We have laready cut apart the thorogood moc toe boots, the carolina moc toe boots, and soon we will cut in half the red wing classic moc and the Danner moc toe boot.

It’s reassuring to know Thursday Boots are good value for the level of quality. Even though $200 isn’t a lot of money for good year welted boots, it’s a lot of money for me. So I’m happy to see I made the right choice. 👍

@Tiger24kicks 2 года назад

I purchased the Thursday boot legend Falcon after seeing the quality of that shoe, I'm hooked I'll will be picking up other pairs.

@darrenhall7454 2 года назад

@@Tiger24kicks Haha, I’m hooked too. I’m working out which pair to get next. The Legend does look great, but I’m thinking the matte black Captains might be best for me. Or maybe the Cavalier, or Scout, or Cadet or sneakers…. or all of them! 😂

The quality control is no good. The pair of sneakers I got is inconsistent between the right and left foot

@@s0bad Sorry for this late response, but just incase someone in the future looks at this. I've had 2 inconsistent pairs of redwing iron rangers. It isn't just Thursday that has inconsistencies. Both had issues in the heel either having a hard ridge, or uneven inner heels in the boot. Just had to bite the bullet unfortunately.

Would of felt more comfortable if he wore some sort of cut resistant glove, but I understand why he did that way because he had a hard time angling it and trying to find a good grip to hold the boots for the cut, if he used the proper tool knife no issue but since he loves us and doing it for us I let this slide but he should have taken some or bought safety equipment

Yes the boot Is Made in México, More specific in León in the state of Guanajuato, AND Is also known as the shoe capital, we have here Many, Many shoe factorys, ( to name some brans that hace models Made here are ariat, Nike, Steve Madden, Levis, etc) thats why they aré really well Made, there aré alot of people with Many years of experience,

@pollos123 Год назад

They’re always trying to put the Mexican craftsmanship down so hard because they know is really good and much better than some American boots . The shoe company’s in Leon pay good salary and benefits to the zapateros ( shoemakers) . They’re not cheap they’re just not overpriced.

What I really like about the Diplomat compared to other Moc Toes is they don't have huge clown shoe toe boxes. A nice thing about Thursdays right now is that they are still improving their shoes when you buy a new one you know they should be better quality. It looks like they may need to start using leather counters though.

@mannycalavera2335 2 года назад

True. It is nice to see a sleeker moc toe. But I like the classic silhouette of the heritage moc toes like red wing as well. It is a more severe and distinct look but that is also the charm. Buy them in the correct size and they dont go full clown shoe.

@craigman7262 2 года назад

looks funny though. Like an old mans shoe

@JJ-zr6fu 2 года назад

@ianturnbow7011 2 года назад

Leather counters mean a more expensive product. I avoid Thursday boots, despite the price point, because I can buy a much longer lasting pair of moc toes from Red Wing or White’s for $50-$75 more. Not many people will resole their Thursday boots. Red Wing and White’s are supposed to last several resoles.

@CocoKoi321 Год назад

Racism💀 you surely don't know grant stones, they're more quality then most heritage boot brands but Chinese made with american leathers and European leathers What's the difference between Mexico made and Chinese made if it doesn't have to be american made? They're both OUTSOURCED and Chinese can made amazing things, it's just that ever since reagen (worst most un-American pres of all time) , he made the entire outsourcing crisis because the cheap labour prices and companies try to get away with going as cheap as possible to make products bit make you pay high tags But.... that's not all Chinese production It's same with Mexico tho? There's cheap crap made there too look at levis today with the lifestyle branding crap and just beat the he'll outta the ded horse with online marketting, advertising and paying effluential people to wear em. Mexico has cheap labour prices too though is what I mean, they're just closer to america

Interesting video, I have a pair of these and am fairly happy with them. I’ve even worn them for upland game hunting. I don’t understand the criticism about the difficulty in resoling these boots. They’re $199. There’s only one guy in my town who resoles boots. I’ve heard that he does a good job. But his price to resole a pair of boots starts at $170 and goes up from there. Most people end up paying about $200. Unless a particular pair of boots has some kind of sentimental value, or costs something like $700 or more, I’d not bother with resoling. I’d just buy a replacement pair and send the old ones to you to cut apart.
