More about this item

Went with a daily driver for this dome!

Why I own this

Ready To Wear
Workplace Needs
Outdoor Activities

I needed something that felt in place in office, on the disc golf course, hiking, and on the town. Can’t go wrong with a classic patter in natural cxl.

Use & wear

Office Work
Physical Work
Outdoor Activities
Leisure
Travel
Wet Conditions
Snow

I didn’t hold back on these. Took them hiking, played over 30 rounds of disc golf, daily office wear, went on travel trips in America and Europe. Wet, dry, and snowy conditions.

Care Routine
Break-In
Color Change

Not too much break in on this pair. Cxl is forgiving and were very comfortable a couple weeks in. It is just a fantastic leather that allowed me to not be worried at all about it. They’ve developed that really rich honey amber color over time. I conditioned the toes and heels with cobblers choice about half way through because they were drying out due to the wet conditions. Then a final bit a VSC at the end.

Fit

Arch
Toe Box
Length Feels Right
Ball Feels Right
Too Little Volume
Not Satisfied with the Fit

The Leo last is not the best for my foot shape. I might need to try the 11.5E in the future. I also found that the Leo last has little to no arch support so until these broke in a bit more, my feet were sore.

Craftsmanship

Grant Stone Diesel Boot

Excellent all around. GS is fantastic.

Sole & heel

Traction
Durability
Comfort

Great for everything but the sloppiest. I really like how it is grippier and softer than dainite soles. Does seem to wear faster, but that is the trade off.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

Just a fantastic daily driver that I think everyone should have. The leather only keeps getting better and better. Would recommend and have recommended several times.
