Those look a lot lighter than all the stock photos. Those look like RW's Hawthorne Muleskinner.
They're actually quite a bit darker in real life than they appear in my pic; my phone camera was probably overcompensating for the cloudy/overcast light this was taken in. The images on the GS site match the actual shoes' color (at least on my monitors here and at home).

I'm new to the forum, and recently purchased my first pair of Grant Stone's, the cognac pebble grain Ottawa boots. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to care for the leather?

I'll defer to someone else as I haven't cared for any pebble grain but I typically just put some shoe trees inside and stuff them in their included bags after giving them a pass with my horsehair brush.

I have one, nice belt and Dune color match is pretty good. The belt is well constructed and looks, and feels, like it will outlast me. I followed the directions on the web and ordered a size bigger, had to trim it and punch an extra hole or two as it was WAY too big. I would say order your waist size and it should be fine.

Damp wipe when dirty, brush them. Store in the bags with trees in the boots. Maybe some Venetian Shoe Balm or Cream when they look like they need it.

Oh that is GOOD info, as the size it instructs me to get is sold out. My natural waist size though is in stock. You guys are a bad influence.
