So great to see the culmination of so much great experience together in one spot!!! Phil you're spot on about the incredibly alluring look of the black CXL diesels, the natural edge against the black is so piercing and eye catching. I cannot and will not ever get tired of looking at leather!!!! I really look forward to seeing your sizing video
I love my brass boots! Great to see a company listen to its consumers. I had seen Grant Stone before but was not completely convinced with the diesel boot. But they're killing it with the brass boot, chukas and chelsea boots. Keep doing what yall are doing fellas. Who cares if they're made in China, the boots are top notch
Great video and I didn't realize these guys at Grant Stone are not far from me in Northern Indiana.. Great looking shoes and boots and I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair, maybe today...! GG
New customer of Grant Stone Boots. Just got my first pair of Bison Diesel Boots. Fit is perfect and they are some really stout leather boots. Love them so much I just bought a pair of the Diesel Saddle Tan boots as well. Looks like I have gone down the rabbit hole and will be making Grant Stone my GO TO place to buy shoes. I already have my eye on at 3 more pairs so this is gonna get EXPENSIVE.
@@drd8251 yep i recently bought some Higgins Mills and they were so sloppy. Loose grain, faulty glove lining, and there was space between the heel block and the sole. In contrast, GS Diesel boots are immaculate, perfect down to every stitch, virtually flawless.
I’m not surprised that the long wing isn’t popular, but damn if it isn’t an ideal casual shoe. You can wear it with literally anything. I wish it would be more successful, because I don’t want them to stop making them. Aldens are soooo expensive.
I have a few Fat Herbies and other Ashland pieces. Just got my first Grant Stone loafers and suede wingtips, too notch products. Scuff up your leather soles and they'll perform almost as well as rubber in winter months. Great video, gents.
LIke the Brass Boot in the Black Chromexel but not with the brown/tan welt and accents. Would love this boot if it was all black...that would also set it apart from other options out there.
Light colored Vibram sole on the Saddle Tan Diesel boot! That would be my all time perfect boot. Maybe in oxfords will be on my wish list…you have those, right?
Just saw another cobbler who did a video of a GS diesel boot resole. He showed that the boot has paper/synthetic material between the insole and the cork. Very disappointing. I was under the impression that GS didn’t use synthetic materials in their construction
Why can't you guys reinvent the penny loafer? Get rid of the penny part and make the lip a bit shorter? But keep it exactly as a loafer with the same construction. Just an idea. The penny loafer is dated and the audience for them is narrow.
Grandmother got me Alden Pennyloafers for graduating 8th grade in 1983. when i broke them in. i wore them all the time. i will be trying their shoes and boots. im hearing they are just as good as Alden. we shell see.
CHINA! Lol Hey! Why not have them manufactured here in the USA. Don’t worry, we know the answer. Alden, Viberg, Allen Edmonds, Red Wings (heritage line) Thursday Boot, Whites, a lot more to mention...all manufacture some of their shoes here. Maybe if you guys had them made here, you wouldn’t have to worry about shipping materials to China and have them made there.
