Diesel Boot Tan Essex
Free Exchange on Domestic Orders
The Diesel Boot is our take on the essential plain-toe boot, combining Goodyear-welt construction with time-proven leathers for a durable, water-resistant, and comfortable everyday boot.
Horween Tan Essex is a vegetable-tanned leather that is a testament to traditional craftsmanship, using the same time-honored tanning extracts as Horween's famous Shell Cordovan. This full-grain cowhide is distinctly soft, supple, and waxy feel, setting it apart from other, stiffer vegetable-tanned leathers. What makes Essex particularly sought-after is its ability to develop a beautiful and unique patina over time. It starts with a clean, natural matte finish and will gradually darken and change color with exposure to light, oils from your hands, and everyday wear. This makes each pair of shoes or leather goods crafted from Essex a deeply personal and evolving item.

The word “diesel” doesn’t exactly remind us of something flashy but instead of something built for strength and longevity. This is our rendition of the basic plain toe boot pattern—made with nothing but proven leather uppers, lining, and insole.
This boot comes equipped with our mirco stud rubber outsole, which is built to handle all seasons. The rubber compound is medium-density and offers a combination of traction and durability.
Creasing and color variation are to be expected on these natural, aniline leathers. Each pair will develop differently as each hide is unique.

Diesel Boot Tan Essex
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
Providing Excellent Service
Our priority has been putting customers in shoes that properly fit them and standing by our amazing products. Many customers have found they have been wearing an incorrect size for years. This has been lost in the market today. We offer the majority of our footwear in D, E, and EEE widths to provide well-fitting footwear.
We encourage customers to ask our team for assistance to ensure the best fit.
