By EarthToneDaddy • April 3, 2026"This leather was AWESOME. When I first got them, the leather was green - like, GREEN, green. I honestly didn’t know if I could wear them for 6 months. They were hard to work into a lot of the clothes I wear and I remember early in the dome feeling tired of not just being able to wear what I want and have my boots go with it. Thought I made the wrong choice. But over time, as the green deepened and the brown came out, they we a joy to incorporate and went with everything!Believe it or not, I did not use any sort of colored polish and only conditioned them once - my dad (also a 25/26 dome participant with some awesome GS cap toe boots) told me at the end of the dome, “stop rubbing poop shoe dressing on your boots.” I only used one round of Smith’s on the uppers around month 4 or 5, just because they had lost their luster. It honestly didn’t change the color, just brought back the shine. The snow and hiking were the biggest culprits for color change here. Only thing I would’ve changed is maybe not had the tumbled leather, but honestly, I dig it on this makeup! Lastly, the lining on GS boots is amazing. And somehow seemed to make them stay dry inside longer and dry out quicker. Great stuff!..."Read the full review
