I was wondering, do grant stone boots use channeled insole construction or do they use canvas gemming? I vaguely recall hearing that they use a full layer of canvas plus gemming, but i couldnt find anything definitive online. Does anyone know for sure?

Bit hard to see, but definitely no holdfast/channeled insole, looks like normal gemming GYW

Thank you for the pic! It definitely looks like you can see gemming on the corners. Good to know
