 Hi, I'm Tech. This is my channel Boot Lossophy and today we're going to take a look at the unboxing of the Grant Stone diesel boot in 10S6. So this is the packing box that Grant Stone boots usually arrive in. There's two boxes as the internal shoe box and the packing box itself. There's extreme attention to detail that you can see directly from the boxes themselves. Now, this package arrived in two weeks during the Christmas period, which is actually sensational because the average time that it takes for packages to arrive in Australia from the United States is about four weeks that I've experienced so far. One of the pairs of boots that I ordered took six weeks, so two weeks is quite amazing. The way the packing box is packed is that you open from the end and I'll show you why. I've stuffed it up before but you can tell the right way to open is the way the writing points upwards. So this is the end that you want to open. This is my grandfather's craft knife, by the way. He used to make all sorts of models and things. And once we open the box, you can see why it took so much fast to open it the right way. The shoe box itself is inside with a little finger hole for you to pull out. Now, you'll see that it's actually packed with other pieces of cardboard so that the internal box doesn't rattle around in shipping. And I've had other boots arrive from other companies where this hasn't happened and that's practically destroyed some softer boxes during shipping. So the idea is to pull the shoe box out and this is the actual shoe box itself in which the boots are contained. It tells you what the model is, the diesel boot with 10 s6 grandstone logos. The thing I love about grandstone boxes is the attention to detail. The top, the cover fits flush with the rest of the box because of this internal lip that they create around the box. I mean that just takes attention to detail thinking. Opening the box, we are familiar with a thank you card personally signed by one of the guys at grandstone. Provides an email if there are any questions. There's a postcard which talks about the initial fit and how you should try them on on carpet so that you might be able to send them back. Consignment note. The ubiquitous grandstone pouch with spare laces cotton flat wax flat and the iconic grandstone shoehorn and a bottle opener. It's a really lovely touch but between you and me the shoehorn is too short to be any use at all and the bottle opener doesn't quite work because it doesn't get the right leverage, but it's a beautiful thought. Okay So let's clear the table and once again grandstone provides these linen twill cotton cloths. Not quite sure what they're for. Other people have said that maybe you're meant to stand on them so that you don't scratch the bottoms of the soles. I've seen them used as polishing cloths, which is what I use them for. Inside each individual boot is in its own shoe bag, separated, once again attention to detail, separated by a piece of foam. So not only are they protected by the shoe bag against scratching and knocking on each other, but they're individually separated by a piece of foam. Supendous attention to detail. Pull out the other one. Right, so this is the diesel boot in tan sx leather from Halloween and it is just a beautiful leather. Open the other one. They come with leather laces as you saw just now. They also give you spare cotton laces in case you want to switch them. At first glance they look really nice. Some slight creasing. Is that loose grain? I don't know, along there. Triple stitch, double stitch on the heel pad, heel cover, a backstay, and there's another backstay that goes inside. It's fully lined of course as all grandstones and the day-night sole. Let's take a look in greater detail. It's a lovely coloured leather. Not particularly shiny, although grandstone waxes them before they go out. Four eyelets, three speed hooks. Almost a perfect combination. I think from past experience, grandstone boots are partially gusseted up to but there. Some of them are not. The Edward boot, for example, is not gusseted. The veg tan midsole showing and the veg tan welt is showing with detail on the wheeling and the stitching. I mean look at that stitching. That's really no errors to the perfection of the stitch per inch. I think I might have said a day-night sole when I flipped the other one over but this is not a day-night sole. This is grandstone's own proprietary studded sole that's obviously similar to a day-night. Now this is different from my past, my other grandstones. The other grandstones have a little smiley face like the day-night does. This is different iteration, I guess. In terms of quality control, you know, I just cannot see anything wrong. Now this is my favorite game with grandstone boots. Can you see the joint in the welt? Because I can't. I think it's there, but I'm not 100% certain. With other boot makers, there is a joint that is visible where perhaps the end of this welt overlaps the other one or they don't quite meet or they slightly tilted. But with grandstone boots, I usually play spot the welt or spot the welt joint. I honestly can't. Can you? Quite incredible. Okay, I'll put some on-feet footage. So there you have it.
