Who’s ready to see the Alden Indy being cut in half

[petergreen]

Fun fact, I know the owner of Grant Stone’s manufacturer, their family also do denim products and jeans altering, I had my pair of Naked and Famous jeans altered by them, they are amazing craftsmen.
Edited: by manufacturer, I mean the manufacturer in Xiamen, China.

You should consider doing a series on captoe oxfords. A lot of us gotta wear them for work, so it'd be worth knowing what's quality and what's nonsense. A few brands to consider might be Allen Edmonds, Johnston & Murphy, Meermin, Thursday, Beckett Simonon, etc.

Just an idea. I hope you're recovering quickly from Covid.

Have you thought about developing a score for all the boots/shoes you review? I'm thinking something in the realm of the Doug Score from Demuro's channel, but a Rose Score?

6:58 SOOOO many times I've inquired as to where your toes should be in sleek\pointy shoes, and you finally answered!

My father is looking at picking up one of the Chelsea style boots Grant Stone makes. I definitely see why. Not a big fan of leather soles but that Saddle tan upper is drop dead gorgeous. The eyelets and speed hooks look nice and sturdy to match. I wish more brands used hardware like this:

I happen to have a pair of these very boots and I love them! They fit well, they look good, and they're made from excellent materials. The construction quality is very good, as well. The Grant Stone Diesels are also dressy enough for casual occasions, too. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Glad you reviewed this product. For some reason, this boot seems to hit all the right notes - very attractive, incredible build/quality. I'll have to find a pair.

I feel like the issue with Made in China having a stigma is companies outsourcing to make more money and forgetting to care about making a good product. Chinese workers are just as capable as American workers making fantastically crafted products when given the chance to, its just that often their labour is utilised by companies obsessed with profitable products not quality products.

I just received my diesel boots today in the bourbon suede. They look incredible! My first pair of Grant Stone shoes were very well made and super high quality. I ordered them a half size down as was recommended, but found them to be way too tight. I tried to break them in thinking I was just being a sissy about it, but ended up selling them as they began to hurt my feet. So I ordered my normal size 11D on these diesel boots, and the fit is much better. Maybe a little snug on the sides as was mentioned in the video, but I feel like they will mold as the leather breaks in. Honestly though, these things are incredible. I've now purchased and returned 3 different pairs of Allen Edmond shoes of various styles for quality control issues. These blow away the AEs I've bought. I can't wait to get them out on the street and see how they break in. Great review! I wish I saw this before I ordered so I could've picked up the discount code! Still think they're a great deal at full price though. Can't complain at all.

In addition to Grant Stone, your viewers would love to see a deconstruction/review of AE Higgins Mill and Alden Indy as all 3 boots are very similar in style and function.

I really want this to be done on designer's women's shoes.

I'd give that center cut score a solid 8/10, you didn't miss by much and it was more straight than normal!

[Klunker]

My Diesel boots are Bourbon Suede leather with Dainite type sole. Incredibly versatile from long walks and working in the yard to a night out. Two years old and they still look great. 👍

I was literally just thinking of suggesting grant stone. These look absolutely beautiful. If you want to look into another Chinese made brand that’s less expensive is Meermin. Also, did he mention how thick the leather insole was ?

[gcoulson]

I'd love a dress shoes series, like derbies or oxfords from the likes of Church's, John Lobb, ASOS, Cheaney, Edward Green.
An expensive series for sure, but very interesting imo
Even just a pair of Gucci loafers would be super interesting

[ashermergard]

These boots look beautiful, and it hurt a little when you cut them in half 😂

[TheDementedMonkeys]

It would be nice to see some "cheap"made in italy boots\chelseas like Frau or Soldini cut in half. They tend to be well made and durable. Can you, pretty please?

[rrich]

Few USA boot makers. I worked at Norcross Shoes Rock Island IL as a foreman for a while. built boots . Ran the ovens, and boot stripping off the laths. Neat experience. Place is closed and all went to china.

Just got my Grant Stones today....this exact pair. Can't wait to try on and get this boot broken in!
