Liked the original leather sole.
Lived in the PNW my whole life, rubber sole is an absolute must. Respect!
Great vid. You are giving Grant Stone some pretty great PR lol. I bought a couple pairs based on your reviews. I particularly like this one because it’s good to know how these boots are made so I know exactly what I’m getting. Nice work bro. Cobbler Sunny too. I’d take my boots to him in a heartbeat if he was in my area.
Great work done by Sunny. I wish this guy was in Canada. Lol. I would have resoled some of my GS leather sole shoes too. Btw these boots looks really cool with the rubber sole. 👌🏼👌🏼
@8:25 - "so Kudus to Grant Stone to making one helluva boot..."
Kudus.
Awesome job love resole videos….do more!
Sunny is an awesome cobbler, saw pics of this job on his IG acct‼️🥾😎👍I could use a pair of grey boots 🤔
I love your enthusiasm for the boots lol bro me too haha
Great video! I love your relationship with Sunny. So cool. Such a talented young cobbler. Questions:
- are GS heel stacks leather?
- where did Sunny, or the customer, get the replacement studded soles?
- what do you use (or did Sunny use here) as an edge treatment/dressing on that natural leather?
Thanks!
Great questions
it is leather stacked.
it was sent by grant stone on customer request
you can use neutral cream polish.
After slipping and doing near splits thrice on a slippery & icy day, I now understand why some gentlemen immediately switch to rubber. I still cringe to see a new leather sole peeled off. I'd at least wear it for a few months.
man i'm with ya!! i've been deliberately putting my leather soles to the test recently in the snow and ice and i find that if i walk carefully, they perform exceptionally well!!! just gotta be mindful!! i probably slip more in my commando soles because i overestimate their ability to grip the ice X-D
How does he like the studded grant stone sole?
Hey Dale, I been wanting to get a pair of Grant Stones. The heel looks very small. Do you mind telling me how big the heel is on the Diesel and Edward? Thank you.
The heel is very well sized, it’s not too big, clamps the back foot perfectly
I personally like the look of grant stones on leather soles and have had some bad experience with dainite looking soles (i.e. Thursday’s soles). I want to ask since you have experience with all, how do you compare GS studded vs leather soles and GS studded vs dainite soles? So sad they don’t make the dune diesels on leather soles anymore 😭
i was planning to do a video on this subject and actually should have a real boot talk where we do a full on deep-dive into it!! long story short, yes i've come to really love leather soles, they're the most supportive and comfortable in my opinion. rubber is great for the elements but not as great for you. both are awesome and serve their purpose, but leather soles get a bad rap and i hope to highlight that soon
@@DalesLeatherworks i agree with you, also, unless you live like in New York (or in my case, in Mexico City) do you really walk around in the elements on your casual boots that much? Anyway, I asked GS and they said there are no plans to bring the diesel or Ottawa back on leather soles any time soon 😭
@@CarlosValentor oh noooooooooooooo!!! i love their leather soles!!!! oh well, i'm sure most customers will applaud this move as most dudes prefer rubber :-D
@@DalesLeatherworks i used to prefer them as well but the main reason was that I believed the haters and never gave leather soles a chance 🤣 anyway, what do you think of GS studded soles? Have you had any bad experience with them?
@@CarlosValentor i love the GS studded soles!! been walking on them for as long as they've run them and they're just as good as dainite IMO, no noticeable difference
Grant stones are so uncomfortable. I've had my diesel boots with the leather sole for one week and they're making me miss my alden indys.. Will the grant stone boots get softer? If so, how long does it take? I've been wearing them 8+hours a day!
What sole are they on? If they’re on leather it will be stiff it first ya just gotta wear them longer and they’ll break in and become your most comfortable boot
@@DalesLeatherworks yeah, its the all leather sole. So painful.
Parkhurst, and merrmin have
a kudu I think I like grants version the best
i am partial to that Leo last :)
How much does a job like this cost? Anyone know? Angel from The Bay
a standard resole is about $120 to $150
What do you use to condition the kudu?
I haven't conditioned it and to be honest I don't really plan to unless they start showing signs of drying out! I would be very careful using anything on it because most products will darken it up considerably
@@DalesLeatherworks Awesome thanks! Hard to find info online on it. Didn't know if it was treated like calf skin etc or like suede. Although a dark grey kudu would be pretty cool looking I'll hold off on the conditioner for now.
I have the exact same question!
I don't get it. Those leather soles don't look like they have any wear. They look new. Yet someone took the time to have toe plates installed and then never actually used them. And then after installing toe plates, decided to scrap the whole thing and have them resoled with rubber. Weird.
These don't look like they had Grant Stone's typical cork filling. Am I missing something or was there no cork in the sole?
i ***believe*** the cork filler is located right beneath the footbed. sunny replaced the midsole and the outsole, not the insole, so that's probably why it wasn't seen in the video
@@DalesLeatherworks oh that’d make sense!
I wouldn’t buy any shoe or boots with Dainite. Either get the leather or vibram. I am not sure why you did this as the leather sole was perfect to start with.
my friend Ari had this done to switch the boot from a Grantstone stock leather sole to a Grantstone stock studded sole
What’s wrong with Dainite? How is It inferior? I have leather and Dainite soled boots and have no issues with either.
Why would one wear Dainite (or any imitate of it), dead ass one of 1001 way to suicide.
Leather in NYC is a death sentence. Subway platform, especially.
Grant Stone doesn’t use Dainte. This is their own proprietary sole. Its density isn’t as hard as Dainite. It definitely has a better grip but will wear out faster. I think it’s a happy medium.
@@AriHayable is that for new leather soles or in general? I work in nyc and my leather soles of my becket simonin shoes are worn and they’re safe, but for oak bark tanned that are newer, those are dangerous compared to Dainite.
