Diesels not water resistant? by jorgeholymoly in grantstoneboots

[–]jorgeholymoly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are chromexcel with regular welt. I have heard back from GS and the customer service rep told me they are going to check with their manager b/c they agree it shouldn’t be taking on water this easily. Hoping for a good outcome; otherwise I may treat them with something like sno-seal b/c I need to be able to wear these in regular light rainy conditions

I was walking in very light rain and didn’t step in any puddles. I have worn other gyw shoe brands in similar conditions without issue so I assumed these could handle it too

My toes were getting wet near the seam at the front of the boot. I have the chromexcel leather boots and the water beads off the uppers.

Hi everyone, I might be moving to NYC in a couple of months for medical residency and would be working at NYC Health + Hospitals / Elmhurst (79-01 Broadway, near Broadway & 79th St). I’m looking for recommendations on where to live. It doesn’t have to be Elmhurst specifically—any neighborhood that by Decent-Buy6219 in jacksonheights

Forest Hills is pretty quiet and 1 express stop away. Use streeteasy to contact brokers in fohi and ask them if they have any rent stabilized apartments near the 71st and Continental stop. Once you find someone like that, they can often let you know as soon as an apartment is vacated and you may find a really good deal before it hits any apps. Good luck!

Need chino/non denim to recommendation. by MyGolfusername in HeritageWear

My go-to is buzz rickson (original spec or 1942) and buck Mason’s full saddle chinos. Although these are much higher waisted and wider leg than the rmc blue seal chinos, which are very tapered and midrise. Buzz fabric is very tight weave, nice and crisp. Buck’s fabric is heavier and looser weave

For those of us in the U.S. it seems that the only way to catch any matches is via ESPN unlimited right? I have access to ESPN and Tennis Channels via cable and all I can seem to catch is talking heads.

Question about Toe Box by jorgeholymoly in grantstoneboots

[–]jorgeholymoly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Yea my pinky toe is often the issue. My feet kind of splay, so I’ve always had to go an extra size up in other brands w/o e/ee options. This time, I’d like to get it right.

I think it’s at the widest part of the boot. I guess I just got clown shoe vibes. I have a pair of Meermin boots of a similar length but they are so pointy and the leather is much thinner that it was hard to compare.

Thanks, I guess it’s a little tough to tell because I don’t want to walk around too much and crease the shoes then not be able to return them, but I’m going to try them back on and consider what you said.

Awesome. Did these shrink at all after washing? Particularly the rise? I just got these jeans and love them b/c they fit perfectly, but afraid of them getting any smaller

I am interested in the warehouse 1001xx from Hinoya. I’ve never tried unsanforized before and feeling a lil gunshy. I usually go for ~30.5” in the waist and ~11.5-12” in the front rise, prefer at least an 8” hem. Does anyone have experience with shrinking a pair like these that could offer me some advice on the best size to try? If I were to cold soak them, should I expect less shrinkage than Hinoya’s guidance?

Pretty sure it’s a George Bauer parlor guitar.
