Not really. I don't wear a 10.5EEE in anything else. European system seems to be much easier. I'm a 43.5.

I mean carmina size is UK not usa

I really like this color suede. I have not worn these yet because it's been a very rainy winter and I didn't want to get them wet. I have other foul weather shoes. I have started to wear them around the house the past few days in anticipation of a maiden voyage.

Suede is a rather hardy leather, water won't hurt it, it will darken until it dries out, but actually is a very hardy material for footwear. If those are leather sole, the sole will suffer more from the rain than the uppers.

I got caught in a slushy snow with my new reverse kudu diesels last Friday. I thought they were ruined but after 24 hours you could barely tell they'd been wet. Then I used a suede eraser and they looked brand new again. Good suede holds up better than I thought it would.

Suede is tough!!! We all think it's delicate, but in actuality it is one tough MF leather

Hi All - new Grant Stone customer here! My name is Russ, I am a recovering vintage watch addict going into boots
Been hanging out here for a few weeks, I appreciate and respect the spirit, positive vibe and knowledge being shared.
Just received these Walnut Bison Diesels today - still test driving on the office carpet. I think they are keepers. 1/2 down from Brannock and so far so good. Was hopeful for a little more pronounced grain, the design is simple yet elegant. Grant Stone Customer experience has been excellent - build quality is excellent and compares nicely to my only other pair of boots (Parkhurst Kudu). Thanks for looking. Russ in Dallas.

Ohh nice. I'm between these and the Caswell bison boots. It'll come down to fit as I know my true size in 9.5 D fits fine but Caswell is a new brand....

Looks like they are the storm with the wedge sole.

There are a few new travelers coming but they will be a little too late for your trip. These will be available sometime in May.

Thanks Wyatt!

I use cross border pickups. They have a office near me. I forgot the names of the other shipping services that are located across Canada. Anyway, I haven't used them for GS yet but I did ship a car part and I declared it at $10.

I've heard that Cross border pickup is now opening packages so YMMV. I learned this on Redflagdeals recently

I use these exact boots as my foul weather and mud shoes. The only thing that's hard to keep looking clean is the white sole.

Those that prefer leather soles over all rubber (dainite, commando, etc), have you tried the wedge soles? Do they hurt your feet like rubber? Can you wear them all day like leather?

I just wanted to circle back and see if anyone has a response?

 

[M635Guy]

A couple wears in a couple days

Between not having any hope of keeping pollen off the porch and the fact we've got a dove nesting about ten feet from where I'm standing, you'll have to excuse the yellow dust...

I have a pair of the storm suede diesels on the wedge sole and they are definitely a bit more comfortable than my micro stud/ leather sole boots from GS. Not that those are uncomfortable, just that the wedge sole feels bouncier and more akin to a pair of sneakers.
