I've worn them on a work trip to Cold Bay, AK. I did physical labor in them, I hiked in them. Then I got promoted and worked an office job in them. I did my first rotation of the graveyard shift in these boots. I helped my wife when she got her car stuck on a snow burm wearing these boots. I've asked a lot of these boots and they shrugged it all off.
This is a tough leather that really doesn't require much care. There was no break in, it was comfortable from the get go. Since wearing them I've conditioned them twice, and once I applied some leather grease to help keep out some moisture. I brush them a bit every time I put them on, and when I condition them give them a really good brushing. As for color change, the waxes have moved around quite a bit. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
The Floyd last is everything you expect from Grant Stone. Supportive, comfortable, and stylish. I like the extra toe room compared to the Leo. Plenty of room for thick socks.
Although these were B grades the finishing is immaculate. I still don't know why they were B grades. Again everything you can expect from Grant Stone.
The sole is very grippy and works well in a variety of environments.
I love Grant Stone boots. This pair has really just been a joy to wear. Absolutely they are the best value in footwear right now.
