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.

These boots are pretty awesome. Not a replacement for Redwings, but after wearing them for a few weeks, I really like them.

The quality of the leather is kind of amazing, the inside cannot be removed, but these are really comfortable. It has typical vibram outsoles, which have good slip resistance.

I'm usually not much of a Thursday Boot Co. fan; I'm a Red Wing guy all the way. However, after seeing some great reviews of this moc toe on Stridewise's and Rose Anvil's YouTube channels, and looking at the price point, I snagged these in burnt copper. Let me tell you: hands down now my favorite boot. Took maybe a day and a half to break in. In the first three days after I got them, I put on 19 miles on these babies. Comfortable as hell now. I am going to be wearing these in the summer, too, with shorts. Very nice, slim profile toe box. Order a half size down from your sneaker size. I am a 12 in running shoes, got the 11.5 and it's perfect. I highly recommend this boot. This, like all TBC boots, while it says it's a regular width (D), it's actually in between a D and an E. Perfect for my foot. I had the Captains and loved them. Wore them for a year, but ended up selling them and got a pair of Red Wing Weekender Chukkas. This moc toe is handsome and extremely comfortable. The sole and in-sole are amazing; almost like Nike Airs. In comparison to my Red Wing Iron Rangers, which are a nice stiff ride, these moc toes are like walking on air. Highly recommended! Great leather smell out of the box too. Just a solid, spot-on boot. Get this instead of the Red Wing mocs; the price and craftsmanship are worth it. And w/a slimmer profile toe box, they can be dressed up.

Love all my Thursday boots

The quality and feel is top notch. However, the color is nowhere near what’s pictured. It is MUCH lighter. They still look good and I am happy. Update, very quickly the leather is having issues

My husband loves how they fit and look

Me encanta la estética de las botas y su calidad de construcción, eso es sin duda alguna lo mejor de estas botas. Pero lamentablemente no son para mi, llevo casi un mes usándolas y aunque han mejorado mucho en cuanto a comodidad, la verdad es que son pésimas para los pies. Son extremadamente angostas, especialmente en la zona de los dedos y además al tener este frente más bajo que las diferencia de las moctoe típicas, esto mismo hace que el pulgar del pie costantemente se aplaste contra la parte superior al caminar. Y todo esto se traduce que al final del día los pies queden muy fatigados y adoloridos. Y en cuanto a talla yo pedí media talla menos de lo que usualmente uso, según la recomendación del vendedor, y efectivamente del largo estuvo perfecto, pero el ancho de la bota es verdaderamente angosto, y no soy de pies anchos (mis pies son de un ancho intermedio). Tiene un soporte de arco notorio, lo cual a primera instancia da la sensación de ser cómodo, pero en verdad no es necesario y fuerza a al pie a una posición que naturalmente debería de lograr por sí mismo. Entonces, en resumen, no las recomiendo si las quieres usar muy seguido, tal vez solo para ciertas ocasiones donde no caminarás mucho ni estarás de pie durante tanto tiempo. Yo ya no puedo devolverlas, pero si pudiera, lo haría. Preciosas, pero imprácticas.

These arrived very quickly. On inspection these boots seem to be as good as all the other reviews say. However, they were slightly too big. So I returned them. Once the return is processed i'll try a half size smaller. Ordered a half size down and they fit perfect. Very comfortable to wear right out of the box. I'll certainly buy more from these folks. After several days - there is really no break in period. Still comfortable. However, as another reviewer mentioned, the tongue is not gusseted. And so I've noticed that the gusset slides off to the side. Maybe a slit in the tongue to pass the laces through might be the solution.

I bought the captains in size 12.5 (following Thursdays size guide) and it always bothered me that there was a 1 inch space at the tip of my boot because the toe box is so narrow. I got this pair of diplomats in size 12 and the boots fit much better. Snug, but not cutting off blood circulation to my feet, plus no pointy toe. If you can try them on in person or with a way to return them easily (like amazon) do that because Thursdays recommend sizing can be hit or miss in my experience. That being said the leather is great, build quality is great. Laces however are not good it feels like they loosen up over time when out walking causing some minor heel slip even when I double knot them, i'll probably swap them out for some leather ones in the future. Overall I am still happy with my purchase.

Got them as a special offer, saying good condition. Boots delivered were in at least as good condition. Great deal, very happy with my purchase! Will update after wearing for a while.

Wearing these is like strapping plywood to your feet and running. Very narrow toe box.
