Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

I would very much love a Grant Stone cap toe blucher but with a more refined shape similar to Alden's Aberdeen. GS's Oliver last looks nice too.

Also, hello all. New to the forum. I am fairly new to GYW shoes and have quickly become a fan of Grant Stone. I noticed that GS seems to have a nice presence on this forum so I figured I would join to better keep up with upcoming product info.

Welcome aboard!! You have come to the right place for info about GS. Some find Alden Aberdeen a bit restrictive in the toe box, although it is a sleek design. The Oliver last makes a great dress-ier shoe and if looking for a cap toe shoe, you can't go wrong with them, easy to dress up or down.

They don't make bluchers in the Oliver though do they?

I can only speak for my own feet, but I wear same size as Alden TB last in the Grant Stone Leo last.

For what it's worth, I do as well.

Not yet. I'm hoping it will be in the works sooner or later.

What I have arriving next week are GS cap toe boots in British tan calf and plain toe bluchers in saddle tan calf. I received cap toe boots in crimson CXL this week but decided the CXL look with these boots isn't for me. I think the tan calf version should dress up a bit better.

The saddle tan is very nice, I have the wedge sole bluchers.

For what it’s worth, the Crimson CXL looks better after a few (cream) polishes and develops a richer color. I have the LWB and find it dresses up quite well.

I was in the same boat and opted for the tan calf over CXL. The tighter grain calf upper was really stiff at first but has gotten much better after just a few wears. I've also conditioned it several times, which is not that necessary, but I like soft leather. The calf cap toe IS somewhat dressier than Grant Stone's other boots, but the heavy welt/sole offsets that dressiness to make them look just as good with jeans as they do with khakis. They would certainly go with tweed or flannel trousers but I would not wear them with any but the most casual of suits.

The saddle tan is a great color on either a boot or a shoe. They can dress up, as you say.

Suede Gunboats today:

(Not sure why the colors are so different in these pics: they were taken in the same room, in front of the same window, by the same camera - my phone - and they're night and day; the overhead shot is too light and the cords look green, and the profile shot makes the shoes look red. )

You know the shoes, and the cords, look good in both photos.

You are such a bad influence. It's ok, I still appreciate you. But a bad influence nonetheless.
