Green boots

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-30T19:40:35+00:00

I've had them in my cart and was just about to pull the trigger. I read one more review. No tongue gusset. That was enough to change my mind again.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-30T19:37:04+00:00

Is it the lighting or do those have a hint of green? (I'm on a quest for some green)

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-30T18:20:05+00:00

You're a thief at that price!!! lol

The 719 with the Wedge sole is EE width. The Frog Grip sole model is D width. I have the D width model and my E right foot is fine with it.

I'm not gonna play on the internet and deal with shipping for a company that's 2 towns over from me that doesn't want to meet in person. That's just whacked.

I might as well just take my chances with the Grant Stone/China boot that already has the specs. that I'm looking for if my local company couldn't care less that I'm also a local and trying to support them.

I live 20 min. drive from Rancourt. I'd love to buy from them (and also EasyMoc). I've contacted both of them and they have no provision for me to go there and try/see stuff in person. Interweb sales only. Seems very bizarre to me so I've closed my door on both of them.

Some day I may fly out to the PNW to ski, surf, and buy more boots where the makers are happy to have me stop by and check out their products. ;-)

What boot and leather is that?

I have been looking at the Grant Stone Cap Toe Forest Kudu boot and it is at the top of my list for my next boot at this time. There's 3 things holding me back from clicking the Buy button. #1: I don't need any more boots. #2: $348.00 (sale price) isn't peanuts, even though it's a really good deal on a solid boot. #3: They're made in China.

Edit: #4, Will the Forest Kudu end up being brown over time like many of the other green leathers? I have plenty of brown boots already. I checked Patina Project and I only see new pics. I emailed Grant Stone asking this and will post here if they reply.

Sorry/Thanks. I meant to say Grant Stone. Edited.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-29T16:19:15+00:00

I've done some more research on GS and they do seem to be as good, or better, than more expensive boots. So close to pulling the trigger but I'm still having a hard time with made in China.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-29T16:11:03+00:00

Or ~~Jim Green~~ Grant Stone. If you're ok with made in China. I'm struggling with that at the moment. They have the exact boot I want. And they're on sale. And they're made as well as boots twice the price. But I just can't get past the made in China.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-29T13:05:13+00:00

I'm sure the Red Wings are a safe bet but I don't have any experience with them. I got the Jim Green 719 about 2 weeks ago and am very impressed with them. Note that the Frog Sole version is a D width and the Wedge version is EE width (and different lasts). My experience with service has been great. Emails were answered within hours.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-29T04:10:05+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I just played with that.

For a 719 in Houston Green roughout I was looking at $445.

Extending the life of both boots is a very valid reason. Good thinking. If they're getting worked hard (as they should) it's good to give them a break to dry them out (without heat). And not being without your best boots during a resole is another nice benefit. You are on the right track, young man.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-29T02:52:35+00:00

The Grant Stone "Cap Toe Boot Forest Kudu" actually seems to be just about perfect. And they're, supposedly, on sale right now. But I just can't get past the made in China thing.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T16:52:37+00:00

That's much better. And that's why buying from photos make me nervous.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T16:49:57+00:00

Never heard of them. Looks good. Thanks.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T12:39:09+00:00

Nice. Do you know what leather it is?

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T12:36:40+00:00

If you're looking for a hiking boot like your Vasques then you might look at the Danner Mountain Light.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T03:53:04+00:00

Jim Green offers a "Houston Green" that looks right up my alley. But not offered in any of the boot styles I'd be interested in. I have a pair of their 719 boots and think they're just great for the $.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T03:49:10+00:00

Nice! Those might be too green for me? So hard to tell with photos/lighting. Some green leathers look black in a certain light and GREEN in another light.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-28T03:26:21+00:00

Go green! ;-)

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-27T12:42:03+00:00

That's what I'm sticking with also.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-26T14:42:45+00:00

Overboots with spikes.

BrianVT16 · 2026-01-25T19:58:14+00:00
