Gonna purchase my first leather boot - Grant Stone Diesel (Earth).

Is there any reason to purchase their shoe tree? Or am I better of purchasing it for cheaper elsewhere?

In the market for my first high-quality boots. Pic related is my top choice - Grant Stone Diesel Boot Earth. I love the waxed commander, brass hooks, and overall elegant, yet rugged look.

At the price point of >$400, it's perfect. But are there any other brands I should weigh my options with that offer a similar look, but higher quality? Casual perusal of thread archives indicates this is at least a solid mid-tier brand.

The OP says cork is a red flag and this boot has cork filler with a steel shank. I am still in the process of understanding the ins and outs of high quality shoe/boot making, so I am not sure why cork is frowned upon.

Thank you for the help
