We haven't finalized the color just yet, the finishing still needs some work. It is more of a brown, dark tobacco color, not a lot of red in this.

This is the Edward boot upper sample before lasting.

Are you guys shooting for more of a pure dark brown or Alden cigar color?

For the married guys here, when the wife says "You know what WE should do today............" We all know that means you know what YOU should do today. Diesel boots to pressure wash the concrete pad under the 2nd story deck.......

Yup, this right here... Absolutely can relate to this.

It's weird how that doesn't work in reverse. I can never say to her, "Hey do you think you could _____ sometime today? It really needs to be cleaned."

Saddle Tan today. I do like the Pure Polish Neutral Cream on these.

That is a beautiful leather and I’ve been on the fence with saddle tan forever. I just don’t know how to incorporate that color in my wardrobe. It’s so striking.

Most of my denim and khakis are dark colors and at least in my mind, saddle tan creates too much contrast with its orange hues. Especially in an office environment. But I have the wedge sole in my cart so anytime now....

The Covid situation has brought on very casual dress for me. I have been in the office literally everyday since Covid started, wearing polos and colored Levis (Khaki, Gray, Charcoal, Black, Navy etc.). These shoes go fine with most of those.

I'm not sure I can go back to wearing real clothes to work :p

The other thing about these shoes is they truly are Saddle leather. You move your foot around in the shoe and it makes the same sounds as if you were sitting in a saddle on a horse. None of my other Grant Stone shoes make these noises.

Totally depends on the office environment, if suit/tie, then no way would they work, if casual, then no problem
