You can beat these up and they’ll look better!
"This is my sixth pair of Grant Stone boots and definitely my favorite. The Waxed Commander leather is a bit of a departure from the Chromexcel in appearance but it has its own awesome character. The color is a really deep blackish brown. “Earth” is actually a great name for the color. Break-in was quicker than the CXL leathers and I’m actually looking forward to beating this up a bit and not babying them."
