Men's Diplomat Moc Toe Leather Boot

I’ve been hunting for a pair of moc toes that don't look like bulky bricks on my feet, and the Thursday Diplomat absolutely nailed it. If you’re on the fence about the sizing or the silhouette, here is my experience after a few days of solid wear. The Fit & Feel: Being a size 14, I’m always nervous about ordering online. Often, I have to guess between sizing up or not, but I went with my true size 14 and it was the perfect choice. Some online research says to go with a half size smaller, but I would say stick with your true size. Support: The arch support is fantastic—these are legitimately comfortable right out of the box. Break-in: I’ve worn them daily for three days now, and they are already softening up beautifully. The "break-in period" is moving much faster than other heritage boots I've owned. I was afraid the heel area was going to take time to soften up, but its very comfortable right out of the box. Style & Construction: The quality of the leather and the overall build is awesome. The color is rich and looks even better in person. The leather has a nice solid thickness to it. With the inside of the boot lined with a soft leather, it's a very comfortable and solid fit. Low Profile: My favorite feature is the toe box. It has a much lower profile compared to traditional "clunky" work boots. It gives the boot a more refined, versatile look that works for more than just a job site. One Minor Tweak: The only real "downfall" is the hardware—specifically the laces. They are massive. Even after lacing them all the way to the top, I had about 10-12" of extra lace dangling on each side. I ended up swapping them out for a shorter set immediately. Bottom Line: If you want a high-quality, sleek moc toe that actually fits a size 14 foot comfortably, get these. Just have a spare pair of laces ready to go! This is my first experience with Thursday, but I'm already eyeing a few chukkas.

Great pair of boots, look and fit great. Easy sizing, just half down from my sneaker size. I’m really impressed on how quick they broke in and feel so comfortable already. Wear at work everyday, look stylish, my feet don’t hurt end of thr day, and easy to clean off when get home. Will def but grabbing another pair in few years.

Great quality boots! As with all leather shoes they take some time to break in but they are very comfortable and well made.

Photo Caption: I bought the Thursday Diplomats at the same time as a pair of pricier boots from Whites. I prefer the look and comfort of the Thursday's however the leather on the White's boots are so much better they're in a completely different league. Overall I give the Thursday boots 4 stars mainly due to the overall value (price paid for what you get). The leather quality is average which was expected at this price, and the color I selected (Arizona Adobe) made the leather look flat, almost fake. I'm hoping the color improves as I wear it. For those who may be wondering, the soles are no longer Vibram branded and they are made in-house to save on cost. Had I known this prior I probably would not have purchased these boots since it's not like Thursday passed on that cost-savings to the customer (ie the price is the same with the non-Vibram soles). Despite the lower quality materials, what Thursday does accomplish with the Diplomats is provide a lower cost-of-entry to getting work-wear "style" boots with a goodyear welt. They are surprisingly comfortable OOTB and they do look great on feet. If your goal is purely aesthetic then I would not hesitate to recommend these.

On the fitting section it says to size down half size but I would say go with your ture size. If you have wide feet go with a size up or order from the actual website they have a EE wide option along with the regular with.

First things first, the style of these boots is on point! They exude a rugged yet sophisticated vibe that complements a variety of outfits. Whether it's a casual jeans-and-tee combo or a dressed-up ensemble, these boots add an extra dose of charm and character. The moc toe design adds a touch of classic appeal, making them a versatile choice for any occasion. But let's talk about what really matters: comfort. These boots have won major points in that department. From day one, my husband found them incredibly comfortable. No more breaking-in woes or sore feet. The high-quality leather molds to his feet, providing a custom fit that feels like a dream. He can walk, stand, and conquer the day without any discomfort. Trust me, happy feet make for a happy husband!

Happy with my purchase. More comfortable than my Redwings, which I also love, but as I get older I need more cushion and these so the trick. They also look beautiful and have received lots of compliments.

I normally wear a size 12 but had to go up a size. These look and fit great. I can't wait to wear these to work.
