I just got the same model boot that was resoled in this video and they are not comfortable at all after one week of wearing. I'm hoping they get better with time.
It is not cotton (cotton is too weak) it is linen. Natural fibers burn while synthetics (polyester or nylon) melt. They can also catch fire but will harden up once you put out the flame. Linen, although weaker then synthetics is much stronger than cotton and is what is used for leather when it comes to natural thread.
I was thinking about getting myself a pair of diesel and stumbled upon the video. Wrote an email to GS and they confirmed the thread is indeed cotton...
I have these same exact boots and personally I would be pissed if you had dyed the edge/welt the way you did in the video. I love the contrast between the tan upper and the natural leather welt. Nice video BTW, Cheers!
I love the Grant Stine Diesels O bought a month a go (that's the model in the video). However my version (current version) is made with GS's own imitation Danite sole instead of leather
Thank you for the great video and commentary. I wish I’d known the benefit of all the different toe plate options sooner. Two years ago I went on a date with the woman who is now my fiancé, near the middle of our date the toe plate on one of my shoes fell off after both nails were knocked off by a single impact against the side walk. I was quite embarrassed but my fiancé was quite impressed by the fact that I even bothered to protect my toes from that kind of wear. I’ve yet to try toe plates out again because my local cobblers don’t seem to offer the same kind all you TH-camr cobblers use.
Comfortable???? How long have you been wearing them? I have the same diesels and they are killing my feet they're so stiff. I've only had them one week so far. But they are not comfortable at all. My alden indys are far more comfortable
@@modernvintagelifestylesthe GS is a properly made boot with quality leather/cork insoles and midsole. It takes time to mold to your foot. Alden build is absolute crap and loaded with cheap synthetic materials. That’s why it is comfortable right out of the box. You seem fairly clueless
Something interesting is that at least visually that canvas in the bottom of the boot looks like what Alden puts into their shoes as well. If it's the same, would that issue with the insole coming unglued also apply to Alden?
It’s pain taking these apart but there is little to no wear on these boots, had the owner not attempted to install toe taps there would be a few years wear.🤷♂️🙄
@@modernvintagelifestylesnot even close. Educate yourself. Look at the components inside of the Alden Indy and compare it to the GS build. The GS is unquestionably the better built boot.
Hey, what Dainite style soles are softer than Dainite soles? I've heard Vibram soles are, but I'm not sure. I want a resole with something that looks like Dainite, but have a softer step.
I rather like the look of the Dainite sole I have a problem kicking the toe off my new shoes Just bought a pair of Loake Brighton loafers Leather sole 😱😱😱 Any ideas for toe plate ?
Question: I wear down the outer edges of my heels a ton and have used plastic heel caps in the past but don't love them. Are there any better solutions with dainite?
Unfortunately not to much because that is first point of impact. Heel plates somewhat work but I’m not a fan of them because of how they force your ankles inward by 1/8”. Metal heel plates aren’t much of an option either as some that used to be around are no longer available and the ones that are still made or very slippery. Honestly wearing down the heel is way better then some people have it who wear out the soles faster. Replacing the heels as needed is the safest thing to do
Sorry if this has been answered already, how much does it run to get a leather soled GS Diesel replaced with Danite like in this video? Love the breakdown by the way! You did an excellent job with those.
Trenton & Heath did a resole on a pair of YSL boots I believe and the entire heel block was plastic. Insane that the price of those boots was most likely close to $1,000 and they don’t even put stacked leather on the heels.
All the materials are souced from italy and the usa!! And you know what , they actually have high quality handmade boot builders in china too😉😉 you know not everything made there is crap!!!

I was on the fence about GS boots, but after watching this, I'm sold!
They are a good looking boot Good and sturdy 👍👍👍👍👍
Grantstone boots are great. Love all 3 pairs of mine! You won’t regret getting a pair…or a few!
Same not As comfortable as Allen Edmonds, but the quality control was 100% better.

@@modernvintagelifestyles I’m pretty sure they will not. I think I regret buying them.

He destroyed the boot.
I agree with you. They didn't look awful with that stain, but they definitely looked better with the contrasting edge.
Happy New Year from Greece!
Hronia Polla!
Awesome Job!!! Love
Colorado!! Colorado Springs to be exact.
Steve from Bedos would be proud!! Great job!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Happy new year, greetings from Turkey.
Nice job. I prefer the natural edge though.
I agree!! I love natural edging!!
What an interesting build. Quite different from my White's handmade boots, no surprise there though. They look great, nice work!

I wish they have a version with the 430 sole.

I have the same problem. I’d love to put triumph toe plates all of mine but my local cobblers act like I’m asking them to resurrect the dead.
A whole new level of cutting corners :)

Have that exact same pair of boots. Great quality control and comfortable.

@@modernvintagelifestyles they are made with real leather unlike Alden’s crap
@@JohnLemon48 def not comfortable like alden.

how much did the resoling cost? I have the same boots, and rarely wear them since the leather is slap stick on a few too many surfaces.
Great job!
nice job!

I haven’t had much problems with Alden doing that but just a few times after the boots and shoes were extremely worn out
Great work and video!
Got your workout with those
Forgive my ignorance but what is the purpose of a toe plate. Awesome video by the way
@TheNomdeguerre thanks that makes sense, I guess I don’t drag my toes
@TheNomdeguerre i agree with your opinion
Toe plays actually run $55 a pair so not to bad
Hi, what is the color of those Trickers Stoe boots,?
Which one do you think are better boots?
Thinking to send my grant stones and a pair of iron rangers in for a resole soon by the summer!!
It’s pain taking these apart but there is little to no wear on these boots, had the owner not attempted to install toe taps there would be a few years wear.🤷♂️🙄
I’m looking at these boots but don’t like the leather sole roughly how much does a resole cost with a danite sole
I just ordered these!
I think Bedos once restitched the toe area after cutting in for a toe plate...
Yes but the leather on these was just to far gone and the owner wanted rubber anyways
In other words, GS boots are really well built. Please don’t be skimpy to praise it. I will take GS over any other brands in a second.
Alden indys are better
@@modernvintagelifestylesnot even close. Educate yourself. Look at the components inside of the Alden Indy and compare it to the GS build. The GS is unquestionably the better built boot.
Will you be doing a Cash/Trash on Grant Stones?
Yes as soon as I have a pair on hand for resole to show the insides again and link it with the cash or trash
Hello I have a quick question. Is it difficult to convert a rubber sole to a leather sole?
Hey, what Dainite style soles are softer than Dainite soles? I've heard Vibram soles are, but I'm not sure. I want a resole with something that looks like Dainite, but have a softer step.
To each their own, but I would've preferred a brown sole to compliment the tan leather and skipped the coloring of the edging.
What would it cost to do this on my exact same Grant Stones?
For a 360.00 pair of boots...I'd say they look to be well worth the price.
I rather like the look of the Dainite sole I have a problem kicking the toe off my new shoes
Just bought a pair of Loake Brighton loafers Leather sole 😱😱😱
Any ideas for toe plate ?
We have toe plate options listed on our site. www.cobblersplus.com
I prefer the triumph to plates personally
How much for the resole?
Question: I wear down the outer edges of my heels a ton and have used plastic heel caps in the past but don't love them. Are there any better solutions with dainite?

It seems like you that you did a 360 degree stitch?
Did it come in as a 360 degree welt?
Yes it did
Sorry if this has been answered already, how much does it run to get a leather soled GS Diesel replaced with Danite like in this video?
Love the breakdown by the way! You did an excellent job with those.
Do those boots come with skinny jeans, a plaid shirt, and a horrible admiration for Imagine Dragons?
You sound jealous.
Lmao
I find it absolutely ridiculous that the heel counter is fake on these boots.
what do you mean by fake heel counter
Plastic heel counters have been replaced with leather ones in all new Grant Stone's.
Trenton & Heath did a resole on a pair of YSL boots I believe and the entire heel block was plastic. Insane that the price of those boots was most likely close to $1,000 and they don’t even put stacked leather on the heels.
I do t like the baby poop color of those boots.
It's called fine Italian leather. Go buy a cheap boot.
That way you do not buy from China ,I don't care for the shoe
they look much better than Allen Edmonds
All the materials are souced from italy and the usa!! And you know what , they actually have high quality handmade boot builders in china too😉😉 you know not everything made there is crap!!!
All materials are from USA or Italy. The boots are only assembled in China just like your iphone.
Do you own any electronics? Lol
