What color was this boot again on the website?
Who’s ready to see the Alden Indy being cut in half
And allen edmonds higgins mill please
I want to see it, but it would hurt so bad... The Indy's are so good, it would be such a shame to cut them in half.
Ergo Proxy I agree 100%
I may be able to make that happen for ya
✋
Appreciate the shout out, my man !
Mmmm leather 🤤 its too tasty
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.
What's the company that handles denim products called?
What are the working conditions in the factory like?
Ew Chinese

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.
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.
I would love to see this series, too! I'd like to see some of the british makers thrown in, too (Loake & Barker vs. more expensive shoes like Crockett & Jones or Trickers). But I also know I just suggested cutting 2000 dollars worth of shoes in half!
I really want this to be done on designer's women's shoes.
i think they are doing women's shoe right now
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.
I had the same thing, if someone is reading this then order your brannock size on these boots, the last is not really as wide or big as you think. Also going from D width to E is great if you want to wear thicker socks, too.
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 get the shoe repair place to put thin rubber protective soles on all my leather soled shoes.
I have a pair of Diesel's like these that have a leather sole. The one I have is the Black CXL Diesel's with natural welt, midsole, and outsole. It's the best boot I have.
I'd give that center cut score a solid 8/10, you didn't miss by much and it was more straight than normal!
These boots look beautiful, and it hurt a little when you cut them in half 😂
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.
How was the sizing? Did you take your athletic shoe size, or did you have to go half a size down?
@@RoyalFizzbin I went a half size down and they fit perfectly.
@@RoyalFizzbindepends… do you have wide feet?
As always awesome video Weston, really opened up my eyes for this boot maker a definite future purchase!
Would really like to see you cut open a pair of Sneaky Steve from Sweden in the future!
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.
Yes! Been waiting for this one. I love my Grant Stones. Awesome video and as I suspected, no real cons since you can get rubber soles or a different type of leather if you want. Thank you, Weston!
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 ?
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?
Neat idea!
I need quirks and features of Iron Rangers
Thissss
I thought about doing it for the moctober series so now I now it’s something people are interested in maybe I’ll do it for the next series.
I just need to figure out the parameters and values of certain things because different people value different things. That’s ultimately why I didn’t do it in the moctober series
Hope your winter boot reviews come out soon!
I got a pair of Grant Stone Diesel Boots yesterday based on your glowing review. They did not disappoint. I got the black with CXL leather with black rubber soles. I find the leather is just as good as my Alden Indy Boots with CXL leather (brown and natural).
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. 👍
Great to hear man. I have my crimson ones in the mail, hopefully getting them tomorrow or the day after!
I just received a pair of these boots and I am amazed at how well they fit my huge (13) wide (EEE) feet. As presented here, the boots are amazing quality and fit really well right out of the box. It will take some time for them to wear into my feet, but I am delighted. I found this company while looking for a work boot for my adult son. I had never heard of them or their reputation. Very stylish boot from my perspective,…..and I really like the color of these boots. Excellent customer service as well.
these are GORGEOUS i've been waiting for them
Hey that shoe horn also looks like a bottle opener.
It is
@@joshlange6558 bottle horn
Soy Boy Ahoy Shoe opener?!
Or-Hey that bottle opener looks like a shoe horn lol.
For over the past month this has been my favorite RUclips channel! I think you need to cut in half Patagonia’s new Wild Idea Work Boots, they’re made from Bison Leather!
Love this video! Great review. I have been interested in them for awhile now and this really helps. Really impressed by the leather midsole.
Are Truman boots on your upcoming videos?
I’d love to see Truman’s boots done. They look like a really quality boot to me I’d love to see how the hold up.
Love the vids, keep up the great work. Dying to see some Viberg’s on your channel sometime soon. Cheers!
Yes! Seeing Vibergs would be my #1 request!
6:58 SOOOO many times I've inquired as to where your toes should be in sleek\pointy shoes, and you finally answered!
Great video - love to see how they compare with Flame Panda - which are Chinese boots that are apparently only beaten by high-end Japanese makers but only a little more expensive than GS. Also next to some Indonesian options wich are known for value but perhaps not the top shelf materials
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.
And how is this company not utilizing the 'cheap" labor to make a murder profit? There are companies selling boots of same/better quality for that price paying American or European workers a fair wage. So if somebody complains about capitalism, this company should not deserve any praise.
@@themann4633 100% agree
@@themann4633 preach
@@themann4633 Who is making boots of the same quality for the same price using first world labor?
sweat shops don't have to say anything else.
YES!! I’ve been waiting for this review!
I'm glad you're doing the sponsership from the boot makers again, the discount is nice and it's always very relevant towards my interest in this channel.
Love the videos! Can you cut open the keen utility Cincinnati mock toe
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
A high end series would be awesome. If I must add, Weston should also grade leather that has more or less imperfection and leather imperfection inconsistencies between the same pair. For example, On my John Lobb rtw, that shoe when new, that leather had no imperfections what so ever. No scars, wrinkles, etc. Even the leather used in the lining is free from imperfections. However, my Allen edmond/Meermin collection is a different story.
northampton brands tend to punch way above their weight, so while it would hurt to see a pair of tricker's cut in half it would be interesting to see how they hold up.
@@nattran92 The problem is Weston has zero knowledge of higher end things. He's a t-shirt wearing zoomer who once said he has zero use for a dress shoe.
For next year’s Moctober (there _will_ be one, won’t there? :P), I’d love to see the Ottawa boot and the Traveler penny loafer included...
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?
Just subscribed. Really enjoying your videos. This one made me want a pair of grant stones lol
Great review. Would love to see a review of the parkhurst allens.
Hello James Franco. Thanks for another great video!
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.
Hi Rose Anvil, I love your videos. Have you ever reviewed leather soccer ⚽ (football) boots e.g. Adidas Copa Mundial, Puma King or Nike Premier II?
Great vid. I'm really impressed with these boots. Maybe you could review Urban Shepherd boots.
I’d really like to see a series on hiking boots
Just about all of my boots are made in the US, but this is one brand where I'd make an exception. Been contemplating buying a pair for a while, and probably will get one eventually. I wish they'd make a cap toe version in shell cordovan though.
I have 3 pairs of GS's. My first pair was the Crimson CXL Ottawa's, then the Dune CXL Diesel's, and the pair I'm waiting for tomorrow is the Black CXL Diesel's with the contrasting welt, midsole, and outsole. I have purchased 3 pairs already in this year. They make a great boot. For the price, you're not going to find any boots that's built better, have finer qc, use better quality leathers, and have a more sexy silhouette for any of their boots. I love how my Dune CXL patina's so nicely with a bit of brushing and some Saphir Renovateur.
Nice detail with the black rubber running through the heel block, just learned heel block 😁 good looking boot.
Watching these be cut in half is like watching the crash test of a high end sports car....I don't like either.
Hey Weston, I really prefer strong arch support in my boots. How does this compare to something like the Nick's or White's arch support?
Those are some nice looking boots I've never been into a more casual dressy boot mostly cowboy boots in my work like whites Wesco work boots but I think I'm going to get a pair of those those are pretty slick I especially like the cut in half and seeing that arch support I really like to have a lot of arch support
Love the look of that veg tanned leather. Wish they would make their country derby in it. I've been eyeing those Chelsea boots in Crimson CXL though.
I went with the dune cxl. You can dress them up and you can dress them down. Best clothing investment I've made easily
I would love to see what a pair of Hoffman composite toe lineman boot looks like on the inside. They are one of the best lineman Boots are for climbing but they are pretty clunky.
You might want to take a look at Meermin (also made in China). Most of their boots are under $250 (dress shoes under $200) but seem really well made. I have a pair of their dress shoes and I think they're great! They also have hand-welted shoes for just over $300.
Hi there. Really like your channel. Could you do an episode on rainboots? It's really difficult to get honest opinions and there are various price points and claims. I'm thinking about purchasing a pair of either Stutterheim, Tretorn, Viking or Everlane boots. Would love your opinion.
EXCELLENT looking shoe!!! LOVE to get a pair, just cannot AFFORD them!!!
It always breaks my heart to see you cut apart an expensive pair of boots. But I appreciate what you discover.
Could you cut in half a Yuketen Angler Boot please ?
I wanted to see this shoes cut in half! Thanks man!
I would be interested in seeing your opinion of the boots made by Origin in Maine.
What do you think of helm boots are the worth it
I'm curious what your opinion on Wilcox boots are. I've been thinking about buying a pair
That discount does not apply for this boot, is there an issue? Thanks.
Curious how these compare with Allen Edmonds in about the same price range...
Also, hoping you can do a Beckett Simonon boots video soon. I just got a pair and am really liking them so far!
Do you recommend spending the little bit more money for these over red wing black smiths and iron ranger??
All I want for Christmas is you to review OakStreet Boots.
Just bought their chelseas and the veg tanned diesel boot and i fucking love them. For any on the fence, i feel this really is a must buy. They are comfortable and so attractive.
For reference, i have IR's and thorogoods. This really changed my perspective on fine, long lasting shoes.
Love your videos!! Just tried the coupon code and it didn't work! Any chance you could look into that?
These need a comparison to the Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill. Virtually the same looking boot. So it'd be interesting to see the differences there
I have a couple of questions about the last amd feel of the boot. How does the shape of the last compare to Alden Indy boots? I noticed the Diesel boot has a similar banana shape with the sole. When wearing them, do you feel the boot follows the natural foot shape or curvature of the foot?
Another question, how does the added heel cushion feel does it raise the foot higher than normal?
Thank you and I appreciate what you do!
Please do Alden Indy or Shell Cordovans
Weston you should go to Fez to check out the ancient tanneries, amazing and what a smell!
Hello! I love my boots and my shoes, but a problem has been reocurring for years now-I rip through the soles very easily. It happens at the same place- under the ball of the foot. I have noticed that when I'm walking I tend to push hard with the ball of the foot in order to propel myself forward. Could that be the main reason or are my soles just bad? All my boots and shoes have been with rubber soles. Would really appreciate some feedback. Cheers!
I have the same boots. They’re very comfortable out of the box, which was a surprise. The stitching was immaculate.
Meermin boots ?
Hello, I tried to use the code you provided on their website. It doesn’t work. Do you have a new code that I can try?
I just found your channel and you doing a good job, I work in construction and I just bought caterpillar boots “caterpillar foxfield steel toe” to be exact can you do a review on caterpillar work boots????
This is what is fantastic about your channel, your ability to provide a logical analysis and argument. I had never heard of this brand, they look great.
It would be great to see the grant stone brass boot (moc toe) with vibrant sole cut in half to see how they compare to the desiel, Red Wing 875 and whites perry moc toe
For how long will your discount code be available to use?
Edit: I actually just tried to apply it to cart and it is not working. Any update on that?
Please dissect Allen Edmonds Higgins Mills!
Would love to see the Thursdayboots Legend Chelasea boot featured!
Great review, Grant Stone makes an excellent product. I own two of their Ottawa boots and they've been holding up quite well.
Have you thought about some Canadian made boots? Dayton Boots or Canada West Boots?
thank you, i've been waiting for this video.
I have been trying to buy a pair forever. What boots would you guys recommend in a similar style and price range?
We need a Grant Stone wingtip boot. Especially if it has an inside zipper. Which is my preference for a casual dress style boot. Would definitely add one of those to my collection
I dont have a pair of GS boots but i do have a couple of dress shoes from them and I love them. Really good prices for high quality shoes
Hello-Love your videos. I like the Grant Stone Diesels and the Thursday Captains. Obviously not in the same price range...but, would you say the Grant Stones are higher quality than the Thursdays Presidents? I like the Black Diesels in cromexcel with a leather sole. What do you think, are the Diesels worth $160 more?
If you want to pay the difference for high end leather, its worth the extra dough: Mexico vs China. Reputable brands stand behind their product no matter where they’re made.
Can you do some danners? Light, light II, Ridge?
You should do a series on Motocross Boots!! I’d love to find out how differently they’re all constructed before dropping another $600 on new boots haha
I see your mx boots and raise you Superbike racing boots 👊🏍🏍
Absolutely great boots ! If it had not been stated made in china, i would have thought it was made in Northampton England...
in this case, the price tag would be about $700-800+
@Ed Barner
similar Crockett & Jones for example
about £500
Allen Edmonds are in a similar price range. Without made in China.
@@themann4633 No where near the same quality. And AE make decent footwear.
I'm curious, did your sponsor cover most of shoes that you cut in half? Or did you bought every pair by yourself and sacrifice it from time to time? Because I find it bizarre how you kept pumping these videos atleast once every two weeks despite the various amount of money these shoes cost.
Anyway. I'd like thank you for sparking my interest in boots construction, your channel truly are a blessing (I used to be a braindead sneakerhead, but after seeing how you cut those big brands products and it shows what cheap crap they put inside was a revelation to me lmao). Seriously, keep up the great works and I hope you recover ASAP from covid. Godspeed!
If the boot company sponsors the video then they usually send me 2 pairs to review. If it’s not sponsored I buy the boots. Fortunately the channel has grown to a point that it is making money and I’m getting independent sponsors like magic spoon and beard brand that help offset the cost of the boots in the video. In the early days of this channel (last year) I bought everything and viewed it as an investment. Good question!
Very informative. Next video why not do the wolverine 1000 mile boots. Would be nice how those are constructed.
I just got a practically new (worn a few times, but not broken in) pair of these for $100. It seemed like a deal too good to pass up and I'm pretty excited to try them out!
Rubber block at heel is mostly for durability (as opposed to traction)
Yes!!! I've been waiting for you to dive into Grant Stones!!!
I really enjoy your videos. It would be really nice if you feature some European brands in your videos like panama jacks (model 03) and Sendra boots (9049). Hope you are doing well and got some antibodies now :)
Would love to see that as well!
I would love to know your thought on the new Nora woman’s version?
Question: Will steel shanks transfer their cold temperature to the feet? I would like a cold weather boot, but I'm not sure if the steel shank will freeze my feet. Thanks for the help!
The steel shank will not freeze anything, it is embedded in the sole.
Can you please dissect a pair of hender scheme shoes? They seem to pride themselves in their natural leather and craftsmanship so it would be cool to see your opinion on some of their shoes
I understand your hesitation on made in China. I try for American made most the time. But I am really interested in trying Grant Stone. I mean, with Red Wing price increase, these are similar priced. 🧐
I have this pair in suede. Solid boot but the heel is very stiff. The triple shank makes it very ridged.
they have a roughout leather option. is that better?
