Longwings, great shoe

I saw a video of @UrbanComposition soaking his suede loafers to break them in. I've yet to try that but if my loafers are a little loose, would this approach help?

I’m not sure I understand the question…soaking them with water (or rubbing a solution of water & a bit of white vinegar) helps to stretch leather. This method will make your loafers bigger.

Okay yeah I wasn't sure if the soaking approach would also help with breaking in a pair that has heel slip. By the way, are you going sockless when soaking the loafers?

Every pair of leather shoes or boots that I've ever submerged ended up shrinking once dry. In my opinion, if somebody has to "stretch" a new shoe it is too small.

Hey Grant Stone team may we get a teaser of what is on the horizon for summer and fall of 2023? I was perusing the sale this weekend and there are some great deals to be had but I also know that traditionally when styles are put on sale, new styles are just around the bend. Still loving my crimson chukkas. Cheers KK

I have the same pair. What do you condition/polish yours with?

May be a bit picky here, but the storm welt on on of my Minerva’s doesn’t isn’t tight against the upper. Would that be glue underneath?

Probably plastic

Would you be overly concerned? My first boot with a storm welt. And yes, I recognize I may be complete unreasonable with my initial inspection. Lol. (When others do it I’m like, ‘C’mon man, no biggie, get over it.” Haha )

It’s not something I would be concerned about at all by looking at your pic.

We need unboxing support parties, just to keep our unreasonable ocd in-line.
