I like the 48's from The Hanger Project.

Agreed

@GrantStone Plans to release more formal/business style loafers?

I’m glad you asked! Our tassel loafer is underway and will be here late summer, early fall. We will also be introducing a dressier calf on our penny around the same time. Very excited for these two styles.

Same last on the tassel as the Traveler?

GS- you may have posted something a while ago, and I either missed it or forgot, but got a "sneak peak" photo of the tassel loafer?????

This is what was posted before. Pretty sure Wyatt mentioned it being on the same last, but we'll see what he says.

Thanks, certainly looks like same last in that photo. I hope it's available in colors in addition to black

I recall them mentioning brown calf. Maybe dark brown? I assume british tan is a lock as well. Wouldn't mind burgundy calf personally.

Appreciate the timeline, even if farther out than I had hoped. Hate it when retailers say something is coming but offer no more. GS is worth waiting for, though!

This is it! It is also in the Alexander last. Initially, I didn't know if it would work thinking it might need to be sharper with a narrower toe box but we are really happy with it. Even when working in the warehouse standing for over 8 hours it's a comfortable last/pattern.

Our first order will be in three colors, hopefully we can introduce more come next spring.

It was supposed to be late summer before the recent events, hopefully it won't be delayed too much.

Can I make two small requests?
1. Dune CXL
2. Microstud

Hey, you guys have already made up for the Academy/Alumnus so I figured why not the Lake Shoe Drive as well

I don't know if this would help you any, but I hand flex stiff soles before wearing. I'll give them a pretty hard flex back and forth until they start feeling "broken in"

Man I wished that worked for me too, but not on these. I have a pair of particularly stiff bitter chocolate suede Shanleys (basically AE's Acheson, but uses your favorite last instead of the standard 2042). Those things are hard as a mother ******* rock. Shoenut suggested using pliers to flex the heelcup - that helped like 50% but even with that my heels are still toast by 6 hours. Luckily for me, the GS' PTB & LWB get better and better with each wear, whereas those Shanleys never see any improvement whatsoever. An important note - these PRL styles in suede don't pad the heelcups at all, making them particularly hard.

Always a wealth of info! Man, you have a serious dedication to your shoes to break them in when they're that hard

Dedication maybe, but in all fairness nothing in this world has even come close to breaking in my Redwings. Everything else has literally been a walk in the park.

I finally pulled the trigger on getting some GS, but have struggled with size. I tried a 8.5E in Ottawa and it was very tight. For reference, 8EE iron ranger fits very well and my foot is wide because I have tailor bunions. I just received a Diesel 8.5EEE and it fits well, but I’m surprised how much wider it is. Those who have diesels and Ottawa’s in the same size and width, do they fit the same? I did speak with Josh about this and I do understand they are the same last, just looking for real world experiences. Thanks!

Maybe you’d be better off with an 8EEE?
