Truly what inspired this purchase is that I saw a pair of these sitting on b-grades for about a month. Deeper than that, I participated in the stitchdown patina thunderdome in 2022-2023 with a pair of blkbrd service-style boots. They were great boots, but they just didn't fit my day-to-day wear. The Grant Stone Diesel boot is a fantastic every day boot that I can wear in any situation other than formal situations.

How I sized

Other
Online Guide

I had originally received advice--i don't know from where--to size .5 down from my typical size. I ignored that advice for my first pair in this last. It fits fine. The next few pairs I went down .5, and they fit fine too. My preference is TTS. But depending on the leather, I'll buy a pair .5 down.
