My first pair of Grant Stone's did not disappoint! Love them!
Grant Stone Nora Boot in Horween Dune ChromexcelBy 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

First Impressions
John Lofgren El Capitan in Horween Black ChromexcelBy gameofdrones • February 16, 2025"One day of walking around town on paved surfaces. The Vibram sole gives just enough impact absorption compared to an old pair of Frye boots with Oilite “cork” soles that are super rigid.
The vamp is just starting to crease. I’m still babying it, not flexing it too much...."Read the full review
