Middle-Aged Man Enjoys Wearing Shoes Around House and Farmers Market
Viberg Derby Shoe in C.F. Stead Military Green Waxed KuduBy yeolderoberto • April 2, 2024"I am now officially a kudu fan. I will be getting another pair in the near future, maybe in the non-waxed variety. My only gripe is the markings that kudu is known for didn’t feature strongly on this pair.
The leather broke in by the second week, and never softened un-uniformally or thinned out. Care was interesting; it responds well to brushing but mixed results with adding conditioners...."Read the full review
This is a tough pair that looks as great in a business casual fit as it does in a Canadian tuxedo.
Grant Stone Brass Boot in C.F. Stead Dark Burgundy KuduBy JoshankRedemption • April 1, 2024"This is a tough leather that really doesn't require much care. There was no break in, it was comfortable from the get go. Since wearing them I've conditioned them twice, and once I applied some leather grease to help keep out some moisture. I brush them a bit every time I put them on, and when I condition them give them a really good brushing. As for color change, the waxes have moved around quite a bit. I'll let the photos speak for themselves...."Read the full review
Grant Stone Edward Boots in black Wax Commander Suede get the job done with style
Grant Stone Edward Boot in C.F. Stead Black Waxy Commander SuedeBy renee2day • April 4, 2024"The leather has slowly started showing wear. The color reads as charcoal grey. Break in was minimal. For care I simply brush them off but if they are exceptionally muddy I might follow with a damp cloth. I picked this leather for its water resistance. My feet stay dry in the wettest weather...."Read the full review
Tough and Comfortable!
Grant Stone Field Boot in C.F. Stead Earth Waxy Commander SuedeBy thepugilist • April 2, 2024"This leather is great! The Earth color is dark and goes with pretty much anything so that's nice. Waxy Commander is neat stuff! Very durable and easy to clean. I only gave them a good brushing once per month, that's it! That's all they needed. Highly water resistant, and resilient leather. Doesn't show scratches much and if they do, you can usually rub or brush them out. Took about two weeks before they started molding to my feet and feeling comfortable. A month in and they were perfect!..."Read the full review
My first real foray into wearing a wedge, and I am a convert for the comfort on concrete.
Grant Stone Field Boot in C.F. Stead Earth Waxy Commander SuedeBy Spoon • April 5, 2024"I would say there is no break-in with this leather, and it rolls with the punches. I purposely selected this leather so there would not be much upkeep. I would brush/wipe them off when really dirty. The waxy commander may be suede and not the typical super thick full grain work leather, but as long as not purposely abused, it is hard wearing enough for most jobs...."Read the full review
Really really nice boots
Grant Stone Chukka in C.F. Stead Tan Repello Calf SuedeBy npaust • April 5, 2024"The problem with good suede is that it doesn’t wear much. The color darkened slightly and took on some blue from my jeans. I used a suede brush to rub out minor stains...."Read the full review
Really just beautiful boots
Grant Stone Cap Toe Boot in C.F. Stead Forest KuduBy npaust • April 12, 2024"The leather is great. The boots were a little stiff at the beginning and there was a fight between my ankle bones and the leather to see who would break in first. But eventually my bones won. I brushed the boots and used a neutral polish on them every month or so, which took them from the lighter forest green to a deep green-black. The leather seems really tough too, the only marks that it got were from the spot near the heel where I used one boot to push off the other and the occasional dog claw to the toe...."Read the full review
Very good experience. The kudo is very soft, very comfortable leather that takes the weather well.
Tricker's Grassmere Country Boot in C.F. Stead Caramel Kudu ClassicBy stylenwby • April 4, 2024"No break in. The kudo leather is extremely soft and forms to your feet almost immediately. It holds up well to wear. Care routine is to brush it daily if possible, apply leather conditioner every 2 months, and use cedar shoe trees when not wearing...."Read the full review
