Nice! I'm sure this has been answered in the past. Would I order the Traveller Penny in the same size as my Leo lasted PTB and LWB?

Speaking of shell, does anyone have Ashland Leather Shell watchstraps?

I just got a natural CXL wallet from them, and it matches my Dune Diesels very well. But now my current watch strap seems inadequate.

Most wear the same size in the loafer. However, those who have low insteps and want a snug fit go down half a size.

I just picked up one of their straps in color 8 and really like it. My previous strap was similar but with stitching, I prefer this one.

My the Honey Glazed looks nice......too bad the boots are micro stud sole, deal breaker for me. But I STRONGLY encourage anyone sitting on the fence to jump off and get a pair, as you won't find a better made boot anywhere. Plus the guys at GS are great to deal with!

Anybody had any luck with insoles vs tongue pads?
I have a wide front of foot and asked advice here a few weeks back on sizing (toes fit yay but loose heel, big size 13s) and ended up keeping them based on that. But now wearing them almost daily on small walks with my son (ie way too late to return now) the eyelets/speedhooks of each half are hard against the other in the middle, just to feel decently secure on my foot and the heel has pulled in to fit much better.

Was looking at 3/4 length Superfeet for dress shoes, or trying to find tongue pads but unsure they'll fill the volume enough (only found weak looking cotton pad types shipping to Canada thus far). Just curious if anyone had similar situation, I've had insoles before that seem to make sweat pools below, didn't want to wreck these boots. If nobody has, sorry to bother, very much like them, just out of lacing space to tighen them that bit more to be perfect for my duck-ish feet. Thanks

I use a tongue pad on one pair and it works pretty good. I

Do they add a decent amount? I have the eyelets half overlapping now

Good question... I deal with this issue. I find Grant Stone boots to be too roomy over my low instep and narrow heel, requiring full lace closure at the top eyelet or speedhook.

I have had more success with 3/4 inserts or simple heel lifts than with tongue pads. I stopped using tongue pads because of the discomfort they gave in dress shoes. Maybe start with Tacco or Pedag leather 3/4 inserts. They are thin and offer very little heel lift. There are other options that give more heel lift if needed, but too much can compromise the fit of your heel and put more pressure on the ball of the foot when walking.

I also have Superfeet Slim and Superfeet Deluxe inserts, which are too narrow and too wide, respectively. They only work in certain footwear but are comfortable and supportive.

Much appreciated, found the Pedag ones in Canada already, will order a pair and try it out, I appreciate it

Not GS but if any of you are looking for a nice leather weekender bag I can't recommend this one enough. I've been looking for a good one for months and picked this one out for my anniversary gift. Super thick veg tanned leather that looks and smells amazing. Damn near every other bag I found was made with that cheap looking "crazy horse" leather with insane pull-up. I really don't understand the new trend of immediate and exaggerated patina. The color and feel of this bag remind me of Red Wing's Oro leather they use in their 875s. Size is great, price was totally reasonable for the quality and materials. You guys know how OCD I am. If something exceeds my expectations you know it's good. Also got to my door in 1.5 days.

The Weekender

The Weekender bag is our classic zip top leather duffle bag. This will become your workhorse for short-term travel, gym, or just running around town. We’ve added two pockets on the ends for easy external access in addition to an internal pocket for personal items. The detachable leather strap...

@GrantStone any chance the dune longwings will be making a comeback to your lineup? Would love a rubber soled pair of those.

I think we will plan on doing a pre order for the dune longwing later this year. Maybe we can offer an outsole option.

Outsole options for preorders would be incredible, but I'm happy enough adding sole guards as well.

Very happy to hear this!
