I'm certainly a fan of GS footwear, mostly veg tan leathers. I consider boots such as the Diesel and Garrison as business casual or weekend out on the town boot. It's certainly not for outdoor play or working on a construction site type of footwear.
Thanks for the info. It would take a bit of editing but it would have been nice to see the thumbnail picture again while you were explaining the damage.
The damage has no effect on the boot itself. Bar the suedes or waxed flesh, any leather receiving that level of damage will scar in similar fashion. Badalassi Carlo already is one of the better quality veg tan boot leathers and favourites of many bespoke bootmakers. And for sizing, possibly those with a higher instep or possibly size 10 and above will find it difficult to slip on the boots. If you're 9 and under, you should be fine.
I learned a few things. They clean up well, they are hard to get on and off, and the leather is forgiving. Not to mention an actual video of this boot which I've been curious of. Maybe you didn't, but I did.
This is exactly why I learned the hard way to appreciate roughout.

Even with the "used look" they still look tough!

Thank you for your detailed comments. I've learnt something and I'm sure others will too.
I actually never liked the Garrison boot until I saw your review.
Thank you David. I appreciate and learn from constructive comments like this.
How can you talk for nearly 6 minutes and literally say next to nothing.

Thank you Mike. Much appreciated.
