@GrantStone Any word on what styles are coming out in EEE in the near future? Any chance on the dune Ottawa’s?

Any chance of getting the Maduro sell derby on a rubber sole ?

I’m wearing mine today as well. This specific Ottawa is a great first one if you are unsure since the stitching isn’t as contrasting and the welt is dark. Doesn’t scream split toe.I picked up some Pebble Grain Ottawas, delivered yesterday. I was a little unsure on the split toe but wow these are awesome. Very comfortable right off the bat and excellent fit & finish.
Yep, that is also what drew me to it.I’m wearing mine today as well. This specific Ottawa is a great first one if you are unsure since the stitching isn’t as contrasting and the welt is dark. Doesn’t scream split toe.
Unfortunately not this time around as there will already be 4 styles on this pre order. The shells are limited so this one may go quickly, ending in 2-3 days.
There will be some earth diesel boots this spring followed by the waxed tobacco edward. After this, we are planning on the brass boot in EEE and possibly the chukka. No plans for the dune ottawa just yet.
Lol! The context of downsizing on this forum is going from 50 pairs to 40Aren't these statements in conflict with eachother?
Grant Stone's qc from my sample size appears to be lightyears ahead of AE and a bit above Alden. No personal experience with Carmina. What one does get with Alden, if it matters to them, is made in USA, a whole lot of history, and a ridiculous amount of different makeup options. Seems like there are new Alden pre-orders from different shops daily.I am just going to leave this here.... @GrantStone quality and finishing is some of the best I have ever seen.
During the past 18 months, I purchased 30+ pairs from Allen Edmonds (all but 1 returned), 2 from Alden (both kept although one has some minor cosmetic issues), 1 from Carmina (no issues), and 4 Grant Stone (no issues).
I am not sure if GS manufacturing tolerances are stricter than the other brands or if their QC is held to a higher standard but what actually shows up at your door is just so darn good.
