Grant Stone Elias

Love how these have patinated. Worn 35 days. The rolls on the shaft is developing nicely. The indigo crocking is also coming along nicely. These are some super comfy boots. Probably the most comfortable out of my entire 19 pairs of GS collection. I don’t understand how the instep on these feel less tight than my Black Cxl and Dune Cxl Elias’s. This should be a Natty Cxl RO leather so they shouldn’t stretch more than other Cxl leather but it is more loose. 4yrs ago I would not have chosen this leather. I wanted all my footwear to be I. Pristine condition however, now, I hunt for footwear that will patinate nicely. These are like an artists blank canvas. The patina on these are rock solid!
