The Grant Stone Brass Boot: A New Favorite in the Rotation

My third dome and the one where I really learned a lot more about photography. I was fortunate enough to move from studio apartment in the city to country house on the edge of the city. This allowed me a lot more freedom to experiment and improve my photography. Which was my main weakness in past domes. It was always challenging to find places to photograph boots without looking like a weirdo in a public place like a park or on the street. I guess I’m really supposed to talk about my final thoughts on THE BOOTS and Grant Stone in this section. So let me just say that I’ve always had great experiences with Grant Stone. I previously owned a pair of Maduro Shell Diesel boots. But I sold them without much wear out on them. These are my first Grant Stones that I REALLY wore and it has been a great experience. I’ll definitely be looking into more boots from Grant Stone in the future.

The Grant Stone Brass Boot

Would definitely recommend the Brass Boot. I very nearly sold them before the Dome, but I’m so glad that I didn’t. Out of the box, the moctoe on these look a little….strange…and even a few days after wearing them. Looking down on them, it still looked a little strange, but I’ve grown to love the look. I think they actually look better than all the other “normal” moctoes out there with the stitch not so recessed and closer to the outside edge of the toe box. Now all those “normal” moctoes are starting to look strange to me instead. I think they’re a great value, especially in a non-shell configuration. Whether or not Shell is worth the mark up to you, but I personally love the “work boot moctoe” style juxtaposed with dressy shell cordovan.

I wanted a pair of shell boots. Grant Stone seems to be the most affordable.

Normal. It was a pre-order. They arrived on time of not a bit ahead of the original estimate. About 5 months or so.
