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. 👍

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.

Almost had a heart attach when you were cutting the sole, fingers all under the knife lol!

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

Chain mail gloves would add to the cutting drama. Of course a loose finger would do that as well.

Though I’m not a fan of mock toes, I am a fan of these long term reviews, nobody else does this, more please.

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,

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.

There is something so honest, wholesome and genuine about this guy. Pleasure watching his work. Thanks for all you do Rose Anvil!

I’m happy to see he kept his fingers after cutting the boots haha

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.

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.

To cut a boot in half, perhaps you could use a knife made of flint. That way we could assess prehistoric man’s facility in halving boots, something I am sure everyone is curious about, or determine how difficult it would be to halve a boot while wandering about in a state of nature.

I would love to see a pair of timberland pro direct attach boots on the channel, I have a pair that I've been wearing for about a month now and I love them

Just saw an add for bonanza boots, as I've been looking for a moc toe for work. I'm going to grab some thorogood boots today, but maybe check out the bonanzas for moctober! Made in Mexico and look interesting enough to cut in half.

I’m just glad you didn’t require stitches using that Kitchen knife.

Definitely not resole worthy but great for experimenting w/ the moc toe style. If worn once or twice a week,easily get 5 yrs., and 6-10 yrs if worn at the beginning and end of boot season.
