"Beautiful boot. Well constructed and finished. Ordered a size 13e. I think a 12.5 would have been a better fit but size not available. Otherwise would be 5 stars."

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.
Our Leo Last
Derived from our experience fitting and developing various orthopedic-shaped lasts designed for specific foot shapes, the Leo features a moderate arch, heel control, medial support, and forefront freedom. It embodies a traditional welted shoe shape while prioritizing all-day support and comfort.

Reviews
"This is my third pair of Grant Stone boots."
Beautiful Chrome Excel boots, very well made at a great price
"Beautiful color, the red comes out on mine and I love it. Well made/solid construction, and have been tough as I wear them. The leather is nice. Fit is excellent, I sized half down and that's about perfect. I went with leather laces and I'm loving them. The rubber sole is quite good."
Great appearance, fit, and quality!
"These boots are beautifully constructed and the color stands out while still going with many different outfit color schemes. They really level up both business casual and smart casual outfits with which I wear them. This is my first GS purchase, and customer service did a great job of working with me to find my size and get me into a pair that fits well."
Diesel Boot #8
"Great fit and flawless."
Amazing brand backed by amazing customer support
"Love the boot's color and the customer support team were amazing to work with - made sure I got the perfect size after needing an exchange and it happened within 2 days."
Exceptional Comfort, Stunning Color, Outstanding Service
"These boots are an excellent pair and were comfortable right out of the box. The Chromexcel 8 color is phenomenal, with a rich reddish tint that pairs effortlessly with almost all of my outfits. Grant Stone’s customer service was truly top notch. Wyatt and Kim went above and beyond to help me find the right size, update my address, and guide me smoothly through the exchange process. I highly recommend Grant Stone."
Looks fantastic. But heaviest boot I own
"Looks amazing. As advertised. Break in takes longer than other boots of mine. Heavier than I’d like so -1 star"
Even better than expected
"The fit and finish on these is absolutely amazing. The second I put them on I knew they were going to be a new favorite. I went with size 9. 5 which is my usual boot size (half size down from my sneakers) and they fit perfectly. The break-in was one of the easiest I've ever experienced as well. I will definitely be looking at other pairs in the future!"

Q&A
- What is the length of the laces? I just ordered these, and want to get a matching set of laces. TY
- Thanks for the order and support. Our leather boot laces are made so you can cut them to whatever length you prefer. Our waxed cotton boot laces are 56" inches.
- Does this come in a version with a leather sole? Thank you!
- Unfortunately, we do not have any leather sole Color #8 CXL boots. We offer other styles on the leather sole though.
- I’m in lower Michigan, where can I go to try on your footwear?
- Thanks for your interest! We don't have a physical store where you can visit, but we offer free domestic ground shipping and free exchanges to help create some convenience. Return process shouldn't be too hard, if needed, but we're happy to discuss your situation. The majority of our customers wear a half size down from your common US sneaker size unless your sneakers are snug. Our footwear fits full. Go ahead and list some brands/sizes you like to wear most often. If the fit is snug or relaxed let me know.
- What is the upper thickness?
- Our Color #8 Chromexcel (all of our CXL) uppers range from 1.8-2.0mm.
