Grant Stone Traveler Penny Loafer in Storm Kudu: $328
Grant Stone takes its excellently classic penny loafer silhouette and turns it on its head by pairing it with some moody, stormy kudu from C.F. Stead. Made on the Alexander last, with butyl leather outsoles that’ll make it a great choice for wearing year-round.
Grant Stone Brass Boot in Earth: $298
Grant Stone’s excellent not-quite-workboot, not-exactly-dress-moc Brass Boot gets the rugged treatment with this earth Waxy Commander from C.F. Stead. These are on the Floyd last with Grant Stone’s own commando soles.
Alden x Brogue Seaman Service Shoe in Arabica Lux: $598
A pleasingly simple as great shoes get, these PTBs deploy Hot Alden Leather of the Moment Arabica Lux from Horween (also looks pretty good on these I have to say!) mated to a thin oiled leather sole. Love ’em.
Alden x Brogue Docker Indy Boot in Black Shell Cordovan: $848
BLACKOUT…almost. This just splendid murdered-out black shell Indy on a black neocork sole with black eyelets flashes just a tiiiiiny hint of antique edge stain, a very rare occurrence on black shell Alden boots.
Unmarked Kami Loafer in Dark Cherry: $280
We can always count on Unmarked to put a fun twist on a time-tested style, and these Kami loafers are no different. The casual fellas are bottomed with some off-white veg-tanned bullhide. Perfect for running with the bulls (not actually).
Tricker’s x The Bureau Combat Boot in Combat Boot in Color 8 Chromexcel: ~$684
We’ve got a couple unique Tricker’s makeups at The Bureau to share with you this week. First, the Combat Boot, a solid-looking service boot made in Horween’s classic Color 8 CXL with a 360 storm welt and Dainite soles. Made on the 4497k last.
Tricker’s The Bureau Service Shoe in Burgundy Heavy Horse: ~$642
There’s also these chonky tramping shoes made with Horween’s heavy horsehide, also built on the 4497k last, with a 360 storm welt and Vibram 2060 wedge soles.
Nicks Boots Color 8 Chromexcel MTO: $469+
Nicks has continued expanding its CXL stable by now offering Color 8 as an option on all heritage-style MTO makeups. From Horween, Color 8 tends to mean shell cordovan, but honestly it’s maybe the most underrated CXL color of them all.
Truman Boot Co. Service Boot in Caper Green Mohawk: $440
All the green boot lovers should check out Truman this week. First, they’ve got a new pair in this Caper Green colorway of their beloved C.F. Stead Waxy Mohawk leather. These are made with an unstructured toe on the 79 last with Dainite soles.
Truman Boot Co. Service Boot in Forest Shadow Saddle: $440
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any greener, there are also these Trumans made with C.F. Stead Forest Shadow Saddle leather. Also made on the 79 last, these boots have a structured toe, and feature Ridgeway soles.
