More about this item
Replaced damaged block heel with taller (+1.5mm) dogger heel stack, added Dale's leatherworks waxed boar kilties, Guarded Goods Illini burgundy Latigo laces, both from the labor day sale. Replaced by leopard laces when GG laces gave up the ghost on last day of shooting. Three brushes, single conditioning.Why I own this
When my banger Blbrd MTO's failed to materialize in time, I had to scramble to find a replacement pair. While I had my eye on these lowly b-grade samples, they languished unwanted d unloved on Grant Stone site for the weeks leading up to the Thunderdome open. In my own life, I take waste product from dairy farms to turn into spirits & upcycle bamboo chopsticks & fallen trees into knife / sword grips & scales, axe handles (& wood willing, earphone cups). People seem to be really put off by the honey-apricot of what I now considered to be absolutely marvelous leather. So I had to take a chance.
Ordering process
Extremely smooth, as always with GS.
