Interesting. The foam on top of the cardboard on my Diplomat (moc toe) is so thin, it may as well not even be there at all. This Hero has way more foam and insole. Still decent comfortable and supportive but not “sneaker-like” how some Thursdays are described. I could see the Hero with all this foam feeling more like a tennis shoe haha

@@Highland_Paddy the whole reason for the re-craft was due to the tight fit. Seemed like a no-brainer that the video should have ended with him trying them on to confirm his work solved the issue. I saw others with a similar comment.
@Highland_Paddy3 ай бұрын
Yes, that would have been a nice touch, and supposedly leather stretches a little with wear, BUT as a professional tradesman, I would have liked to see more forethought as to what the end result would be BEFORE pulling off the outsoles and HOPING...... I mean, if he doesn't know how they will fit HIM, what chance do I have if I bring in some boots? One size fits most is OK when I buy them for 200 bucks, but not if I'm shelling out a bunch extra. [Also I made the first comment before the vid ended, but since he's at work, I guess he can't change his shoes before he goes on to the next pair....]

The Diplomat boots were very disappointing overall in fit, but most of their boots run small, so I'm surprised you went down half size for this. BUT I'd be curious to see what you think of the new Challenger model and if you could approximate any of THAT arch support in a rebuild.

Hey Aaron. Nice work. Question : On your Thursday Diplomat Boots, did they have the same foot-bed as these new Boots you reconstructed? And what was the difference after you changed everything out on these New Black Boots? I'm asking because I been Thinking about purchasing a pair of Diplomat Boots and wanted your opinion on what I should expect if I choose to purchase them? Gracias🙏🏽 ...
@Highland_Paddy3 ай бұрын
those diplomat boots run SUPER narrow and I find that when they say go down half size in the other models, I usually must go true to size or even half UP. They are still going to have foam footbed instead of leather, and I don't know if they will have a shank BUT if you're going with a more "cushion" wedge sole, I don't know if that would be the thing that bothers you as much. But, for a hundred bucks more could also try a pair of Red Wing wedge sole with the leather and compare, but then they have that giant toe, etc.
@AaronG24803 ай бұрын
Thanks Roberto, All of their $200 dollars boots have this type of footbed including the diplomats, you can go half a size up and that could solve the problem but I’m between sizes on them. As for the fit,after the Re-craft they fell way better now that they don’t have the same foot bed, They are ok for $200 I just don’t want to buy the anymore. Just my personal experience/Preference BTW they just came up with a new stitch-Down line and some of them have a leather footbed, but again I’m done with Thursdays. Cheers!!
