Teik, I'm a bit under the weather today but you were kind enough to release a video. Thank you. This will at least get me feeling mentally better. I own both styles, both are equally good for different reasons.

I definitely like the profile of the field boots better. I have GS Reverse Snuff Kudu field boots, starting to wear them a bit more, now that I have also purchased some new trousers and denim. Thanks for promoting them!

I have never been a fan of moc toes because they look so boxy. Grant Stone’s Brass boot, however, brings the stitching away from the edge improving the look quite a bit. I decided to give them a try. I chose the “earth” leather after watching your review. I like them more every time I wear them. Thanks for your all your efforts! You have a talent for this. I enjoy your videos even on the rare occasions you review boots that I don’t like.

Another very informative video, Teik. Thank you. Wish Grant Stone offered their boots in larger sizes(15D). I’m a big fan of moc toe boots. Looking at Nicks Moc Toe Heritage MTO in brown CXL. They have a beefy leather midsole and leather footbed. Probably order them this summer and have them in time for winter. See you on the next one!

My favorite Grant Stone is the Diesel, followed closely by the Ottata, because (besides looking great) the last fits like a glove. As for the Moc Toe...I've been happy with my Thorogood, Wolverine, and even Thursday Diplomat so the Brass and Field boot wasn't as much of a priority. However, I do have a pair of crimson brass boots, and two pairs of Field Boot (burgundy kudu and snuff reverse kudu). I like both of their Moc Toe boots, but they're not favorites for a few reasons: 1) although I could not wear the Brass Boot for work (like I would my Thorogood) the problem I have with them is they're so damn heavy and hard on my bad knees if worn more than a couple hours. I'm glad I own them, but I'd like to see them made lighter and with a flat sole option (which I believe they now have). 2) The Field boot as difficult to fit because the last they use is taller and, I believe, also slightly (1/8th size) longer. My regular size was too roomy (tall) even with cushioned socks, so I added an insole which solved the problem. Also, I have a lower arch so--besides the height--my foot tends to ride forward, so I had to also use leather heel inserts. Again, this last (although the same one as the brass boot) is just taller and is more challenging for men with lower arches. 3) I still like the boot, so I bought another pair on sale 1/2'" size smaller. They fit very well with lightweight socks. 4) Finally, as much as a like these boots (honestly want to love them)...but those D-rings are awful. I absolutely hate them with a passion. I'm going to replace the D-rings when I have them resoled. Offhand, I'm hoping Grant Stone makes their next generation Field Boot with the Leo last and not the Floyd. Just my two-centers. Enjoyed.

I had a strange experience with these boots. I owned exactly the same two as you, Brass in earth waxed commander and Field in saddle tan veg. Despite them being the same size, 10E, the Brass boots fit me perfectly and the Field boots did not fit well at all. I had massive amounts of heel slip, to the point where it felt like I was stepping out of them, regardless of how tightly I laced them. I thought maybe it was a combination of them being lasted too loosely at the heel, and the very stiff leather, so I sold them and bought another pair in the snuff reverse kudu. That pair also had the same problem. It doesn’t make sense because they’re both on the Floyd last, but for some reason the Field boots just don’t secure my heel properly.

I think you have stolen my comment! I have the Brass in Color 8 and the Field in Crimson. I loved the fit of the Brass so much I bought the field and have the same experience with massive heel slip. (I actually wore through a pair of socks at the heel the first day I put them on). I am perplexed and plan to sell them as well to purchase another pair of Brass boots.

I’m wondering if it has something to do with the pattern, the different pieces of leather? I have to say the heel in the Field does feel less “cupped” but not to your extent.

@@Bootlosophysadly I have tried that, the half size down was simply too short and I’m at EEE already anyway. I think your comment above about the pattern of the Field is likely the culprit, combined with the extra stiffness of the wedge sole. It appears that I may have to reach out to some of the Indonesian makers to get the toe box I need coupled with a better fit everywhere else. (Or get other makers convinced that the Munson style last is worthy)

As a lover of the Ottawa split moc toe (and moc toes in general), I've gotta disagree: definitely a moc toe. That said, all GS boots are amazing. I prefer the Field Boot over the Brass Boot just on esthetics. Neither best the RedWing heritage in that category, in my opinion. The Ottawa is my go-to casual w/ jeans boot, though. Love the Ottawa. Just my two cents.

The Field Boot is a bit too busy for my taste, though I think what really turns me off about them is the white wedge soles. I do love my Brass Boots in dark burgundy kudu though. The kudu leather has a lot of character and is pretty water resistant. Any light scuffs and creases almost feel like they belong there. I would say there are noticeable differences in the fit of the Floyd last vs. the Leo if you are borderline E-width. I originally ordered my Brass Boot in 9.5D (half size down from 10 Brannock) and they were a bit tight in the toe box. I exchanged them right away for a 9.0E and they feel great now. I tried to apply the same logic when I grabbed a pair of Diesel boots (on the Leo last) from the B-grades and ordered them in a size 9E again. There is a noticeable difference in width in the toe box. Not enough to be uncomfortable, even with medium weight socks, but its still perceptible. My next pair on the Leo last will be in 9.5E. Thinking about the Ottawa boot. At least I can claim it's not another moc toe boot.

That's very true. I never would have thought I would prefer, or even need, an E width. Though tbh, all the times I've stood on a Brannock device in my life I don't think it was ever used properly. I had one of those 3D sizing scans done at the local Red Wing store before I started getting into boots, but I still didn't start to become aware of the minor differences in size between my feet until I had a handful of different boots for reference.

Well, no one ever buys these boots for working. All of us are weekend warriors, slave to style. Most important question to answer is: which one is the more comfortable?
