Let's Buy Boots: A Visit - Grant Stone Boots and Shoes

[@DalesLeatherworks]

So great to see the culmination of so much great experience together in one spot!!! Phil you're spot on about the incredibly alluring look of the black CXL diesels, the natural edge against the black is so piercing and eye catching. I cannot and will not ever get tired of looking at leather!!!! I really look forward to seeing your sizing video

[@AshlandLeather]

It is my favorite boot that they have!

[@corensam]

Kudu is such an interesting leather. I'm loving my Storm Kudu Diesel boots

[@efraingardunosalazar7321]

I love my brass boots! Great to see a company listen to its consumers. I had seen Grant Stone before but was not completely convinced with the diesel boot. But they're killing it with the brass boot, chukas and chelsea boots. Keep doing what yall are doing fellas. Who cares if they're made in China, the boots are top notch

[@DalesLeatherworks]

YESSSSSSSSSSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!!

[@olegkaderly5638]

I’m with Dale on this- been waiting for a video interview of the GS team and an insight into Baroda operation!

[@benjaminkenobi21]

That British tan longwing is just gorgeous

[@timgeist1450]

Kudu boots are awesome!

[@PoliticalDissident]

I really wish Grant Stone would bring back the dune long wing. I want a pair of those!

[@AshlandLeather]

I love my dune long wings. I hope them bring them back, too

[@drzaius844]

With a leather sole.

[@OriginalChick]

Brass boot definitely one of my favorite styles

[@Crackers2549]

Great video and I didn't realize these guys at Grant Stone are not far from me in Northern Indiana.. Great looking shoes and boots and I'm going to pull the trigger on a pair, maybe today...! GG

[@adielubbe4200]

Great video! Thanks. I've just ordered some GS Edward boots in Dark Oak Roughout. Very excited:).

[@stephenathon]

I think Dune Longwings are the best looking shoe they've done! It's the pair that first caught my eye from Grant Stone.

[@AshlandLeather]

I'm still shocked at how good mine look after a year

[@CanesFan65]

New customer of Grant Stone Boots. Just got my first pair of Bison Diesel Boots. Fit is perfect and they are some really stout leather boots. Love them so much I just bought a pair of the Diesel Saddle Tan boots as well. Looks like I have gone down the rabbit hole and will be making Grant Stone my GO TO place to buy shoes. I already have my eye on at 3 more pairs so this is gonna get EXPENSIVE.

[@drzaius844]

I’m not surprised that the long wing isn’t popular, but damn if it isn’t an ideal casual shoe. You can wear it with literally anything. I wish it would be more successful, because I don’t want them to stop making them. Aldens are soooo expensive.

[@Dominicreviews]

I've had brogue long wing shoes before. Don't like them as their just too busy imo.

[@dangaines405]

Interesting show! We appreciate all the shoe workmanship!

[@frankkatsaros8600]

I have a few Fat Herbies and other Ashland pieces. Just got my first Grant Stone loafers and suede wingtips, too notch products. Scuff up your leather soles and they'll perform almost as well as rubber in winter months. Great video, gents.

[@martintanz9098]

I have been a loyal Allen Edmonds customer for years, but it looks like GS is giving them a run for their money.

[@drd8251]

Especially when it comes to quality control

[@martintanz9098]

@@drd8251 I have been wearing AE for a long time, and so I am not going to criticize them while praising GS.

[@scuba_tron5332]

@@drd8251 yep i recently bought some Higgins Mills and they were so sloppy. Loose grain, faulty glove lining, and there was space between the heel block and the sole. In contrast, GS Diesel boots are immaculate, perfect down to every stitch, virtually flawless.

[@dave5510]

14:12there is a fly right by the mic made me flinch with earphones 😂

[@padredave53]

Light colored Vibram sole on the Saddle Tan Diesel boot! That would be my all time perfect boot. Maybe in oxfords will be on my wish list…you have those, right?

[@AshlandLeather]

I have the longwings in natural CXL. They are very nice looking

[@toddjennings5096]

LIke the Brass Boot in the Black Chromexel but not with the brown/tan welt and accents. Would love this boot if it was all black...that would also set it apart from other options out there.

[@lgroves336]

I like GS Boots but I am not sending money to China. Need to buy things made at home. (USA)

[@coyote4936]

i really want the black brass boots with lug sole in this video

[@Al_lan]

Well done! Very interesting. 👍

[@albertoclonado]

Time for Kudu wallets? Great video, thanks

[@catmandu6776]

Seriously? A visit to the warehouse in America where the boots are shipped from China? Wow! Color me impressed!

[@gingiskhan100]

Noticed a Tecovas box in the background. Grant Stone is way sturdier though

[@a.l.newsome7395]

A really good job and video 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@scottlalonde2878]

Nice video, thank you.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Just saw another cobbler who did a video of a GS diesel boot resole. He showed that the boot has paper/synthetic material between the insole and the cork. Very disappointing. I was under the impression that GS didn’t use synthetic materials in their construction

[@YouCanChangeYourWorldToday]

Link??

[@MadaLLedo]

People mention “Made in China” that doesn’t scare me, buying boots from guys who only wear loafers, that scares me…

[@mattlogan1]

Awesome video!

[@johnversluis3084]

Great Video !!

[@davidhunternyc1]

Why can't you guys reinvent the penny loafer? Get rid of the penny part and make the lip a bit shorter? But keep it exactly as a loafer with the same construction. Just an idea. The penny loafer is dated and the audience for them is narrow.

[@bfettrules1239]

Are Grant Stone made in US? I thought they were made in China.

[@AshlandLeather]

They are made in China

[@charlesgraham9954]

Grandmother got me Alden Pennyloafers for graduating 8th grade in 1983. when i broke them in. i wore them all the time. i will be trying their shoes and boots. im hearing they are just as good as Alden. we shell see.

[@AshlandLeather]

I think you will be pleased. Good advice would be to get them to size you personally

[@acknowledge101]

CROSSING STATE LINES FOR BOOTS

[@roguedobie]

I'm from Michigan and never heard of baroda.....

[@AshlandLeather]

I think Baroda is the smallest town I have ever visited

[@pat557]

Which last has a wider toe box?

[@AA-dq5uo]

A little more Venetian 😂 puts half the bottle on it

[@davidneville1664]

Shame they are just a warehouse and do not make in the US.

[@roybatty-]

Stick a Dainite sole on them and then sell for $360. Put your money where your mouth is, show me the bargain.

[@ПавелЭкземплярский-й9р]

👎

[@MELORICKY]

CHINA! Lol Hey! Why not have them manufactured here in the USA. Don’t worry, we know the answer. Alden, Viberg, Allen Edmonds, Red Wings (heritage line) Thursday Boot, Whites, a lot more to mention...all manufacture some of their shoes here. Maybe if you guys had them made here, you wouldn’t have to worry about shipping materials to China and have them made there.

[@AshlandLeather]

All of this is accurate

[@AshlandLeather]

Although Thursday boot is made in Mexico I believe

[@MELORICKY]

@@AshlandLeather Not all of Thursday boots are manufactured in Mexico.

[@AshlandLeather]

@@MELORICKY I didn't know that! Looks like some are made in Arkansas. Thanks!

[@PumpUptheJam81]

I don’t care where they are made as long as the workers are treated right.

[@jcmoye1]

Made in China

[@mikester6192]

Keep boots American again

[@moeck14]

Need to make better American boots then

[@privategramcracker01]

Show my the factory in China. I want to see the wages and working conditions of the people that make these boots before I buy them.
