Grant Stone Garrison Boot

I wanted a boot for the 2025 Open Dome that I could reliably wear with suits as well as casually, which is a tough challenge. That said, my suiting for work is not so traditional (e.g., 3-piece), and is focused on slacks and odd-jacket combinations, with some suits, for which a burgundy-like color is appropriate. I also prefer some brogueing, and leather texture, these had just enough.

I own the Traveler Penny (Alexander last) and it fits OK (I had received guidance from GS when I bought those in 2024). That last was the correct length, albeit a bit looser in the forefront and heel than the Leo last, so I went with that sizing. These boots fit very well with the limited amount of fitting work done so far.
