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.

Our mission

Tan Essex Diesel – One of Grant Stone’s Best

"The Tan Essex Diesel is one of the best-looking boots in my collection. Combined with the matching whiskey laces, it creates a rich, classic appearance that pairs effortlessly with jeans, chinos, and casual wear. The Horween Essex leather is exceptionally soft and supple, making for a comfortable fit and an easy break-in. It quickly molds to your foot and develops character with every wear. The craftsmanship is outstanding, as expected from Grant Stone, and the boot feels as good as it looks. I wear an 11. 5D and bought an 11D in this boot and it fits great. For fair-weather wear, it’s hard to beat. Comfortable, versatile, and handsome, this is a boot I reach for often. Highly recommended."

Diesel Tan Essex

"Great boots. The Diesel boot is a very comfortable and stylish boot. The Tan Essex is a great color that only will get better with age. Grant Stone customer service is above and beyond - Great people to work with. Had some issues with sizing and Kim took care of everything."

— Steve P. (5/5)

First Grant Stone boots

"These seem to be a fine choice for my first pair of Grant Stones. Eye catching for sure and they seem to go with everything in my closet. Took them out today for the first time and the fit is fantastic. Even though I have a size 11 left foot and 10. 5 right on the Brannock Device (Bunion surgery years ago) the 10W seems perfect on the Leo last. Pretty sure these won’t be my last from GS."

Tan Essex Diesel boot is a looker

"I finally talked myself into these boots and I am glad that I listened to me. I was hesitant because of the color but now I am excited to see the character of this leather emerge. The Diesel is always a great choice and the GS fit and finish is great as always."

— Ken J. (5/5)

Tan Essex Diesel Boot

"This was my first pair of GS and I’m really liking them. They are very comfortable even right away and I’m sure they will get even better as they break in. I had to go through a couple size changes but their customer service was very helpful and got everything. Straightened out for me."

Bought these wasted tanned diesel

"Bought these wasted tanned diesel boots and had them shipped to the UK 🇬🇧 advice on sizing was spot on and arrived sooner than expected and they are just fantastic boots, excellently made finished and presented beautifully two sets of differing laces leather and waxed cotton also some nice boot / dustbags, I’ve got some Cheaney & Sons, Grensons both English and Red Wings these Grant Stone are there equal and a lot cheaper, these won’t be the last pair I buy, well done Grant Stone 👍"

The team at Grant Stone

"The team at Grant Stone (Josh and Josh) were fantastic as I navigated sizing issues. We jumped on two separate calls, initiated a seamless exchange process and I have recommended friends not only for the incredible craftsmanship of the Diesel Boot Tan Essex, but importantly, the amazing customer facing experience. Thank you!"

Q&A

In my question answered I had forgotten to mention that I was referring to the Iron Ranger (8 last) which I have a pair in 12D and a pair in 12EE. I like the fit of both pairs a lot; the D hugs my foot more which I appreciate. I use the EE pair a lot of the time for yard work and sometimes I like the looser fit. Given the availability of this boot, I am therefore wondering too if maybe the 11.5EEE.: Yeah it's a close call, depending on what you're looking for. The majority of our customers in your situation are between 11EEE and 11.5EEE depending on how you'd like them to fit. To me, it seems you'd appreciate the 11EEE as your first option as it may resemble a similar volume to your 12D Iron Ranger but in different portions.
If my Brannock size is 11.5D and I wear 12 in a sneaker 11.5/12 in redwing boots; could I get away with wearing a 10.5 EEE in the diesel boot?: Some of our customers in your situation will wear the 10.5EEE. It's worth a try at least. When you're referring to your Redwing, what is the pattern, last, width, and do you like the fit?
