They darken with wear. Patina Baby!Bought my first pair of Grant Stone -- Dune CXL PTB. Actually, my first pair of nice leather shoes in general.
From the pictures I see of the shoe on actual people's feet, they look more brown than the oatmeal color of the studio pictures. Is there a trick to achieving this, or does it come naturally with wear?

I (used to) travel a ton, and I have learned to take them off. If I forget or whatever, I simply say there's steel in the boot construction. The word "shank" has never left my mouth in a million miles in the air over the last ten years.Might be a stupid question , but here goes.
For those of you who have gone through airport security checks with Grant Stone boots on - do you set off the metal detector each time and if so, how do you explain a metal piece "hidden" inside your boot to the airport personnel?

Generally, I'll travel in non-alarm shoes (sneakers or my AE chukkas that have a wood shank) and the GS shoes/boots are in the suitcase.
If you're TSA pre-check, it's worth it to not have to take off your shoes. If you're not, it isn't the end of the world to take 'em off. Speedlaces are a plusMakes sense. I have only recently started wearing boots regularly and so have never really faced this issue since I use sneakers for air travel. Guess my GS will have to be consigned to the check in baggage till I reach my destination.
I AM the guy who mentioned a steel shank in my boots, when they set off the alarm. Had to explain boot construction to the rather unfriendly TSA person with a sidearm. I wear tennis shoes when flying now.Makes sense. I have only recently started wearing boots regularly and so have never really faced this issue since I use sneakers for air travel.
