Change, what change?

I mostly wore these to the office and clear days when I wanted to give my dome pair a break. I also liked wearing them for dressier things like going out to dinner and such.

These felt tougher than my other footwear, which I attribute to being calf. They look lovely as they age, but I think it’s on the slow side.

Leo last is very good for me, and trying it with multiple different leathers only reinforces this. I have room in the toe box while having a secure snug fit.

So these were purchased as B-grade and to be honest, I couldn’t tell why they were categorized as such. I got a great deal on these and get many compliments when I wear them out.

3 of my Grant Stones have the microstud sole and it’s not my favorite due to the slipping. I like the look, but I think after break in I actually slip less on a leather sole. Will be looking other options when the time comes.

I was glad to have the pre worn dome as an excuse to wear these more. I’m going to do my best to keep them in regular rotation because I believe the aging will have great pay off.
