    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    Basu, all that is needed to cover up scuffs are a good leather conditioner, like Venetian Shoe Cream, and some brushing. It will lessen the appearance of scuffs as the oils from the leather move around the area. Bicks4 and Saphir renovator (sp) i’ve been recommended, but I don’t have any...

    Boots Boots Boots - For Boot Guys Only

    Bbuni: I don’t usually respond to threads and questions like this, but I think I’ve been on enough of a journey with my boot and shoe collection that I might be able to give you a suggestion or two. I used to buy boots like timberlands, and Blundstones, but I have learned the value and...

    Oak Street Bootmakers

    I have four pairs of Oak Streets, and highly recommend them. The company has an amazing customer service person named Hayley, and I asked her about sizing with my first pair. I also have wide feet. Send your question to: [email protected]

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Sam, those are some nice looking shoes and leather. What a fun project (although you may be annoyed). Since you’re at this stage, any thoughts on altering color from original? Looks promising as a natural. Since this is a vintage thread, I may have committed a Cardinal sin, but I am curious...

    Looking through the sample sale was a lot of fun, and there was some great looking work ups. The use of scotch grain is nice. I would absolutely be in for a pair of the brass boots in bison. Maybe this one will be offered sometime in the future?

    And, I looked on v-cleat and there is only a reference to Jarman. Thanks in advance.

    A research question for the hive mind here: can anyone enlighten me on the quality of Jarman Regency shoes, and are they/can they be handmade?

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Good Sunday afternoon everyone. This is my first post to this thread, and I would like to ask for your opinions and some possible assistance. I recently picked up a pair of Allen Edmonds Black Hills derbies in what appear to be a walnut or tan Dublin leather. The shoes are very worn, but I...

    You make a good point about the versatility. In my opinion, your selection of leather is important to pull off the more formal situations. A smooth, leather like chromexcel #8 could pull off casual and step it up at an office. I have the OSB in brogue cap toe trench and I could wear it...

    In thank you for the encouragement, and the suggestion. I don’t think that I would have sought out a listing without watching this form for a manner of months. Posting pictures to this thread, does educate and encourage others who might be interested in the “hobby.“ As requested before and new...

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    First wear of the new-to-me Florsheim Imperials 93602. This is my first venture into vintage shoes and I am liking how it turned out. Purchased from -bay with a cleaning with sapphir leather soap, applied two coats of Venetian Shoe Cream and then shoe polish. Seller put a lot of black polish on...

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    Good morning. I know that the Grant Stone team occasionally monitors and replies to this forum. I have a question/suggestion for the company. Would it be possible or on the horizon that Grant Stone would produce the brass boot in a bison leather make up? The field boot looks great, but the brass...

    Make that CXL in #8. Almost the same. 🧐

    My suggestion: you should look at the crimson chromexcel brass boot. Solid boot—love mine—and you don’t have any brown colors yet. Best of all, it’s currently on sale with an extra 15% off for the holiday weekend. (Nah, I haven’t been thinking about it at all!)😁

    Upon reflection, I hope I did not jump to conclusions on what the Garrison would look like. I can consider my hopeful post as unsolicited market research for GS. 😁
