And bro, your daughter was so adorable! That was a cool moment. I appreciated her childlike, straightforward approach to classifying leather texture😆 I should learn from that and not overcomplicate things🤣

Thanks for this man. Adorable kid too!

The workmanship on Grant Stone looks just as good as any Viberg I own. I really need to try a pair

I agree with your wife- They all look the same. Your daughter is cute. My first daughter was cute so I picked up another. Now I have two of them😁

The grant stone’s lasts look perfect for my feet shape and I agree to full leather thru and thru. Another enjoyable invaluable review, thank you aerosurferlv! The Edwards look like they’re made for me.

Couldn't agree more!! the Leo last is the perfect shape for my foot and I have a feeling I'm not alone in that assessment!!! the Edward is a perfect design as a dress casual boot

Which do you prefer?

Have you done any top 10 boots in ur collection videos? Just getting into this hobby & wonder what 10 boots you would recommend buying.

Where did you find those gray leather laces featured on your storm kudu diesels!? I'm wanting to order a pair of storm kudus myself, but I noticed the GS stock photos depict what appears to be black leather laces. The matching gray laces look much better IMO.

She’s so cute. I’m sure she’s grown since then. You feed them, they grow. 😊 She’s very cute!

How do your two Diesel boots compare? How have they aged? Any significant changes between the Diesel and the Edward over the years?

@DalesLeatherworks

Жыл бұрын

No change the diesel and the Edward are basically the same thing just different eyelets mostly

What do you find on the sizing, Grant Stone says to go down half a size on the Lodi last (correct me if I'm wrong) I bought the Ottawa and went down the half size. I had to have the stretched a few times. Any thoughts would be great. cheers...

It depends on what your true to size is. I wear 9 in slim dress shoes and the GS Leo and Floyd lasts are a generous but perfect fit at a half down generally speaking, but it all depends on what is true to size for you as a starting point

nice video thanks for many info. i was wandering which one is more light wight in their collection

Hello. Sorry i'm kinda new to this. I've see a grant stone wax tobacco used and i was planning to buy it. My question is how do I restore it to its darker color? Should i just apply wax to it? Or can i apply cream polish dark brown from saphir after waxing? Cause i restored a used thuesday boots by just brushing, applying conditioner, and cream polish. I was wondering if the process is the same? Cause I like it darker tbh. Also, how does the GS edward boot compare with thursday captains? I had a captain in 10.5 which is slightly big but it fits if i just wear thicker socks and a heel grip. Is the GS edwards the same size and fit?

Any recommendation for a matching belt for the badalassi saddle tan boot?

Really enjoy the videos. I have been doing my research to buy my first pair of quality boots. Because they will be my go to pair, I would like them to be versatile. Can be worn casually on a night out but also business casual to wear to work. I like the Diesel Boot in Dark Walnut Chromexcel. (Or perhaps the chocolate cap toe in calf). I was hoping for your opinion if either pair would be versatile to fit a lot of outfits/situations? Maybe another suggestion for boots comes to mind?

@DalesLeatherworks

3 жыл бұрын

thanks man!!! i would say 100% that the Diesels in Dark Walnut CXL are going to be a "do everything" boot because the plain toe makes it very casual and the color is versatile enough to be worn with nearly everything. The chocolate calfskin boot on the other hand is also a very solid choice, and because of the captoe will make it just slightly more applicable in formal situations than the Diesel. Trust me though as a boot nut myself I will tell you that at this point, both the captoe and plaintoe are super interchangeable. Both are styles that are applicable in nearly every imaginable situation (except a tuxedo lol)

I have a pair of the Diesel Dune CXLs. They have a long ... or wide? .... or whatever upper on my foot so that when I lace them up, the two sides of the vamp come all the way together. Are the Edwards built that way, too?

I believe the spacing on the eyelets is the same between the Edward and the diesel actually!

which one has a more round-toe look? I prefer a more round toe over a pointy/tapered toe//allt the best

Fantastic as usual. I always enjoy your reviews. May I ask how the Butyl leather outsoles are holding up on the Diesel boots ? I have a couple of Grant Stone shoes/boots, and I very much like them, but it seems like their Butyl leather outsoles wear our quicker than other shoemakers (like Allen Edmonds). Cheers..

Are those boots made in Xiamen? Or just the tongue

@DalesLeatherworks

3 жыл бұрын

the entire boot is put together in Xiamen however the materials are sourced from the US!! top notch

4:58 the split at the bottom heel pocket is not decorative. They do this to more easily shape the leather into a boot before lasting it. It also makes it easier to last. I personally prefer not having it there but whatever.

The diesel does not have extra leather on the heel, it is sewn in on the edges. If you took off the heel piece there would be a hole in the boot, sorry just the facts!!!

Grants Stone's are made in Xiamen Island.I decided to check it out online, it has a causeway, so it's accessible by auto. :) P.S. Cute daughter! Didn't know U were a dad already! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiamen_Island#/media/File:Aerial_photography_Xiamen_Island.JPG

I have several boots from various brands and my Grant Stone Diesels are my favorite. They are very well made and the leather is extremely high quality. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. I'm definitely eyeing the Edward boot.

Needs editing.

One thing I've learned about GS boots is that their sizing is very stupid. It's all over the place and this inconsistency misguides you as a customer to make expensive mistakes. Very frustrating shopping experience.
