^^ I don't even remember seeing them when they would have been full price.

I remember seeing them (and foolishly not purchasing them) a while ago now, probably more than 6 months ago. They were gone pretty quickly.

Grant boot:

Killer. Perhaps Alden's most versatile boot IMO.

+1

My color 8 captoe boot is on the Plaza with Double leather (LSBH). Whether it is the Plaza version or the Grant version (a wonderful boot in its own right), I too would suggest that it is perhaps Alden's most versatile boot. Why? It can be worn with anything from Jeans to a suit, and I say that about very few models,
whether from Alden or otherwise.

I agree ^^^

Somehow I snagged away Namor's #8 Commando on Plaza, and even with the sole as is, I have no qualms wearing it with a suit. I really appreciate Alden's low-profile commando.

Thank you very much! They are a beautiful shoe. They were done by LeatherSoul in 2011. I am a huge Balmoral fan.

Wish I saw them.

They were worth full price.

 

[dusttruffle]

thanks bro. i would say Grant 11.5E = Plaza 12D

i think i prefer the chiseled toe of plaza but great is still great - cant go wrong with either

how would you say the grant & plaza in same size compare?

 

[REguy]

I think it depends on your feet. I'm a 10.5D Plaza, 10D Grant. I think of the Grant as a Barrie with a pointier toe.

Great stuff MrDV. Happy to see you got your hands on a pair! You've been after them for a while, no?
