The Diplomat is an essential moccasin-toe boot that was handcrafted with Goodyear Welt construction, Vibram Christy outsoles, long-lasting Kevlar blend laces, and our own Rugged & Resilient leather. Designed to take a beating, this lace-up is guaranteed look even better with years of hard wear and minimal care. Comfort, Durability, Versatility & Honest Pricing. Thursday was built out of our own frustration. Clunky work boots or delicate fashion boots? Cheap shoes that fall apart after a few wears, or shoes that were incredibly overpriced? It didn't seem right that we had to make these trade-offs. There had to be another option. We started Thursday to offer an alternative: ridiculously high-quality footwear at honest prices that could handle our busy lives in New York City. Concept Through Construction We believe in clean and timeless designs with no external branding, letting the high-quality materials and craftsmanship shine. Each of our products is completely designed and developed in-house, drawing inspiration from the world around our amazing customers and us—the result: products that are equal parts beautiful, functional, and comfortable.
