My first pair of Grant Stone's did not disappoint! Love them!

Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Dune Chromexcel
By wildflowersnboots • April 6, 2025"I initially tried the natural waxy commander with the commando sole, but they were just a little too big. I wanted more traction because we like to walk and hike a lot. I ended up with the Nora's because they are pretty and versatile for casual and dressy wear. I wore these boots mostly as casual boots. Lots of urban wear, errends, and paved paths. I did end up wearing them in the snow and ice a bit, because my uncle needed his walkway and driveway shoveled, but he didn't tell me that before I went over to his house. He lives pretty close and my house didn't have any snow left, so I didn't think to take other footwear with me. Did some house projects and yard projects as well. Lots of waiting room wear and only a couple of hikes on mostly paved paths. Lots of walking the dogs and strolling through little towns and parks. Went on a couple or road trips with them, so they've been to 15 states...."Read the full review

Viberg Herald in Eco Veg Fallow Suede Roughout
By chokkero • April 5, 2025"I picked these in anticipation of rushing out the door more often this year and knowing I'd be taking them off a lot in Indonesia. Since wearing them, there have been fewer close-call doggy accidents. I also like to zip it. Or tell people to Zzzip it. Stop rushing me, they're boots but I just needa zip it. Zzip it. Started out with countless dog walks and hikes in drizzly Seattle before driving down through Oregon and SF to reach Los Angeles's dry cold. On the way down and back up, I wore the boots through every rest stop (since my wife and I were rating as many as we could). Ended up in mud, ice, and dust. Out in LA, I wore them to the sandy beaches. Flew out to Taiwan for family gatherings and squeezed in a bunch of sightseeing. Then I was off to humid and hot Indonesia in the same boots and started climbing onto rooftops to help move equipment for solar panels. Wore them into offices, on more mopeds--even ventured into a hidden cafe underneath a freeway. Back to Taiwan, I stepped in countless hospital liquids taking care of my grandfather. The boots mysteriously stayed pretty clean without much more than quick pat downs and the occasional wipe for mud and liquids on the soles. I don't let mud stay on my boots overnight ...."Read the full review
