"Absolutely beautiful pair of boots. The fit is perfect. Normally wear a size 8 in boots and these fit as expected. Comfy right out of the box; no break-in pains. Leather feels soft, but sturdy. Color is closer to a bit orange initially but expecting these to patina really well. Soles are grippy and feel substantial but not too heavy as you walk. These look amazing with a selvedge pair of jeans. The next time I need another pair of boots, I know where I'm going."

Made with
Goodyear-welt Construction
Renowned for its durability and ability to be resoled repeatedly, Goodyear-welt construction involves stitching a welt—a strip of leather—around the shoe's perimeter, creating a cavity. After filling the cavity with the shank and cork, the sole is attached, providing strength and water resistance. This construction method results in shoes that are not only long-lasting but also easily repairable, making them a timeless investment in quality craftsmanship.
Utilizing our
Floyd Last
The Floyd Last is a modified version of the Leo and shares many of the same features: a moderate arch, heel control, medial support, and forefront freedom. In contrast to its progeniture, the Floyd last features a taller, more voluminous toe box, providing a classic Americana workwear look.

Reviews
Amazing soft and supple leather
"Tan Essex is one of the most supple leathers I’ve ever felt. It crazy how soft and supple it is compared to CXL. They are wonderful boots, and the color is so much better in person that photos or website shows it to be. I just love the comfort of a brass boot. It isn’t my favorite style of Grant Stone boot, but it is the comfiest. Thank you to the team at Grant Stone."
Impressive
"My first pair of Grant Stone boots, and I am really impressed by the quality and fit of the last. I would definitely like to consider expanding my wardrobe to more Grant Stone boots soon"
"Really wish I would have known about the stone years ago. Really top knotch heritage footwear for an equally reasonable amount"
Great boot.
"Great boot. Break in was only a day. Super comfy right out of the box. I have other brands of heritage style boots that I have been wearing for months that still aren't fully broken in. I went a half size down as recommended and it was a perfect fit."
"they are mad comfortable! holy! excellent boot. can't wait for the patina to begin"
Great moc toe boot
"Color is amazing and gets better with time. Stiff at first and requires some break in due to the solid veg tan leather. But it noticeably gets more comfortable each day as it conforms to my feet. Overall an excellent boot in terms of build, materials, and feel."
Excellent
"I catch myself looking at these boots even when I’m not wearing them, all broken in and the fit is excellent!"
Future so bright… gotta wear shades
"Per usual Grant Stone’s quality, packaging, and customer service is excellent as expected. Now lets get to these boots… The photos on the website make the boots look a lot paler colored than they are in reality. These boots are vibrant, and demand attention from anyone who sees them. The leather is soft, and smooth while still thick, and robust. If you were to get stranded on a desert island, and these were the boots on your feet. . worry not, you flag down a rescue plane with these vibrant brass boots. They are aging beautifully , but I doubt they will ever become dull, and brown like most. I love these boots, I wear these a lot , they are favs in the rotation."
"What great quality boots. Not PNW american made, but youd never be able to tell. If you dont mind not having the ‘made in America’ tag, Grant Stone is a great option"
Q&A
- Can you please suggest the best conditioning options for this pair of veg tan leather . Also should I do any leather water proof spay and conditioner before my first use ? I have ordered a pair and waiting to get it delivered :).
- Hello there, there is no need to treat or condition your pair once they arrive. In our final inspection, our fulfillment team conditions any leather that is feeling dry. You do not need to add a water proof spray. As a lightly-aniline-dyed vegetable-tanned leather, you'll want to use neutral conditioners. We find that Venetian Leather Balm does a good job at conditioning the leather without darkening the leather.
