Garrison Boot Forest Kudu

A Happy Accident

"So, first thing first, I was actually sent the wrong boots. I was sent the Forest Kudu Cap Toe boot. But I was coincidentally second guessing my order for Garrisons. As much as I wanted the Garrisons, I started falling more in love with the clean lines of the Cap Toe with the micro lug sole vs the full lug of the Garrisons. So I was actually pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and saw the beautiful Cap Toes! Now, onto the actual boots. They are gorgeous! The color is wonderful! Dark looking indoors, more colorful outside, but never looking like Crayola green. The kudu leather is excellent with minor 'scarring' but in an interesting way. The leather is very thick and supple, these will surely last a very long time. They are very comfortable right out of the box, but they are 2 inches taller than my last shoes, so it took a few days to get my ankles used to the thick collar. Overall, I am so happy with these boots! Now I'll have to grab the Garrisons when winter comes! For sizing, I usually wear a size 10. 5-11, but I was advised to get 9. 5E and it fits perfectly."

Nice boot but be cautious with sizing

"Good quality of leather, the boots are visually stunning. I followed the recommended “half-size down” scaling when ordering, and was surprised when the width of the boot near the bridge of my foot pinched. Be cautious when following their sizing recommendations."

Boots you can dress up

"This is my 6th pair of Grant Stones. I found Kuddu leather the most interesting leather of all due to how soft it is and had no breaking time. The color forest green is super good, with black sole and welt I am wearing it to office with no issues."

Love them, happy with purchase

"This is my first time trying out Grant Stone boots, and I’ve been wearing the Garrison Boot in Forest Kudu for a few days now—I honestly love them. I’m still in the break-in phase, but they’ve given me zero issues so far. I’ve worn them a couple of times for over 13 hours straight with no discomfort at all. For reference, I usually wear a size 10. 5 in Red Wing, Jim Green, and Parkhurst. With these, I went with a 10E, and the fit is spot on. I prefer a roomier toe box with a snug heel, and these boots deliver exactly that. I love green boots, and these are no exception. I wish I could post pictures because the color really stands out—bright green in sunlight, but indoors they look like a deep forest green, almost black at times. The leather feels soft, light, and very pliable—not stiff or heavy. Overall, a really solid boot."

Excellent boots, minor error on the tongue

"Excellent shoe across the board. Would be 5 stars, but there is a problem with the right tongue in which it was stitched slightly at an angle causing it to pull to the left, even when off of my feet and sitting on the ground. I can have my cobler fix this for $25 by sewing it to the upper, otherwise great boot"

Very nice boot

"The garrison boot is well constructed, and the color is great. The brouge cap looks great with jeans or with business casual. The only con is that they are a little hard to put on and take off. Otherwise it is a very nice boot and will be worn often!!!"

Garrison Boot Forest Kudu

"Forest Kudu is spectacular"

— T T. (5/5)

"Fantastic boot. This was my first pair of Grant Stone boots, and I loved them so much it inspired a second order a few weeks later. I love the Forest Kudu leather look and feel. The Leo last is super comfortable. I love the toe on the Garrison boot and the all eyelet construction as it let's me seamlessly swap the boots from business casual for work to running errands around town in jeans and a shirt."
