I think it’s down to fashion. In the 1980s grey was a popular colour for footwear, at least here in the UK. New Romantics wore grey pixie boots while older men wore grey Hush Puppies. I don’t think it’s a colour that has come into fashion since. However, I notice Trickers have a number of grey boots in their current sale, if you fancy some mulled uppers.

I'm partially colour blind so my clothing tend to be pretty dark since those are generally safer in terms of matching colours. Because of that, I only own black or dark blue pants. I used to only own black boots but recently I've started branching out to brown and now I really want to add a pair of greys since they'll go with both my black and blue pants. Such a shame that I missed the slate muleskinner Red Wings. Those grey Grant Stones look sexy as hell though.

I've got the IR in Slate Muleskinner las year, first because I'm not to sold of the "patina"the Hawthorne Muleskinner got after use (look to me more like being puke), so I decided about the Slate Muleskinners and there are awesome, sometimes they gave some greenish undertones and sometime were true slate gray. I'm pretty happy with my IR and I definitely agree about gray boots, they are more versatile than one may think. Thank you for the video.

It's weird that grey's always talked about as a neutral but rarely comes up for things like boots and jeans (also really versatile!) I've had two in the past, Blundstone's vintage black lace ups (really a light grey) and some dragon scale-like ones as a teenager, but both were chunkier lasts than I've realised I like, so it'd be good to try the colour again with something new. The Onderhoud ones look great!
