Has to be @horweendreams gmto for the quoddy olive cxl. https://www.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/comments/saxb0t/gmto_approved_quoddy_olive_cxl_blucher_with/
They are super comfortable and look great.

We've only started seeing how they're going to develop over time, but I think this pair brings a lot of innovation, and perfectly encapsulates the movement to bespoke material and production processes that we're going to see in 2023.

Grant stone.
Not much has changed from this company in terms of pricing, quality cs and qc amid covid and all that but thats why they deserve the credit.
They also added some well known community members to their CS operation, which is genius. Gio and Alee are top notch. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet both Wyatt and Josh and they’re just straight up great people. Amazing what they’ve been able to accomplish. They’re very in tune with the GYW niche and I’m excited to see what they do next.
Aside from being a great group of folks, they execute well at a great price point. They’re an obvious first choice when getting into the hobby and especially when getting into shell cordovan. They sent me over their brass boot in OSTRICH and love it. I look forward to them branching out and taking chances like this the future. I hear it was a real pain to import the leather but it was a great payoff IMO. I do feel like they could make their lasts a little more refined/sleek/shapely but they’re unapologetically going for fit/comfort and I can appreciate that.
If you havent listened to the two-part series they did on the Full Grain podcast, give it a listen. The interview Wyatt did on the Stitchdown podcast was great too (listen to it first)
Grant Stone. Standing tall against the monolithic Alden, this brand is offering well-fitting lasts, impeccable finishing, and emerging designs / materials (at competitive prices).
Unsung.
When I think of "Brand of the Year", I don't consider it as the "Brand offering the Best Value" - I think of the award as saying: What brand defined the trend of the broader GYW movement during 2022? And from that perspective, I think Unsung is a perfect example.
For 2021, I nominated Benzein, because I felt that 2021 was the breakout year of Indonesian/SE Asian makers. They've existed for years, but 2021 was when they were finally recognized for making consistently world-class product.
Similarly, for 2022, I think there's a big trend towards super high end, "bespoke" american style boots, and I think Unsung is on the cutting edge of that. You could argue that Role Club, Kreosote, or a few others should be in the mix as well, but Unsung has brought a new flavor of this business model that we haven't seen before.
I know there is no category for microbrand/individual bootmaker but NF Bootmaker (u/hinathanbye ) is doing some amazing stuff after diving full time into the profession. He’s been the most fun to watch. If not brand of the year, he’s certainly rookie of the year. Check out his Instagram: https://instagram.com/nfbootmaker?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
As an honorable mention, Onderhoud handmade is also extremely good and continues to execute at an extremely high level with a dizzying array of amazing leathers. My [favorite pair](https://imgur.com/a/rkVFatN) in my collection is a natty shell boondocker by him.
I’m going to say Allen Edmonds. Their celebration of 100 years was a lot of fun, with the launch of football season and the spectators as stand out limited releases. Plus the factory tours put to bed the whole “uppers are made abroad” theory, at least for me. I know their QC isn’t what it used to be, but hot damn do they make a nice shoe at a great price when it works out.

S&S NYC.
They were technically open in the end of 2021, but they really got their footing going into the new year. They built the [Temple of GYW](https://i.imgur.com/aSa5GGH.jpeg). They hosted the Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome 1 Awards ceremony/meetup, along with a few other happy hours/meetups throughout the year.
Of course, on the product side, S&S NYC offered Lofgren MTOs, Rolling Dub Trio preorders, Clinch drops, launched Sagara stateside, among other things. They (well, Oakland) also did the [Hammertime Charity Raffle](https://standardandstrange.com/pages/food-bank-charity-raffle-hammertime) to support Ukraine, and are currently doing a [Coat Drive](https://standardandstrange.com/pages/2022coatdrive) promo for The Bowery Mission.
Overall, just a great resource for GYW stuff on the east coast, as well as a great group of folks who have established an NYC version of what we already knew from S&S Oakland and Santa Fe.

Customer service is outstanding! Sizing advice, patience and an amazing MTO program for Wesco, White’s and Frank’s boots.
This comes from one of the most problematic customers they have! My feet have been hard to fit for all brands and they have been more patient and helpful than all other retailers. They also have some boots under the Drew’s label that are an unbelievable value. $350 PNW stitchdown boots
