The Garrison boot is our rendition of the classic service boot. Developing out of WWI's trench warfare, the service boot's history has been one of defense. Named after the military fortification and the guards charged with its protection, the Garrison boot conjures up imagery of security, safety, and refuge. Moreover, the name itself ultimately derives from the Germanic word meaning 'to ward off.' The Garrison boot is just that – stable, unyielding protection for your feet.

Featuring a perforated cap toe and backstay that hugs the heel counter, the Garrison boot is our first all-eyelet boot. Further drawing on its military history, we paired the Garrison boot with a lug outsole to offer more robust traction. Combining these elements produces a stylish yet utilitarian boot.

Minerva Box is a grained version of Badalasi Carlo Tannery's Minerva – one of our favorite leathers. This boutique Italian tannery specializes in vegetable tanning. During the process, the leather is placed in a 'Bottali,' a large barrel that rotates, allowing the organic tanning substances to stay in contact with the article. A complete cycle may take 30 - 35 days. The result is a vibrant leather with transparency, depth, and grain.

Garrison Boot Olive Minerva Box

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

I had been eyeing these

"I had been eyeing these boots for a while but I usually prefer 360 deg welted boots with speed hooks but these made me take a chance. Let’s just say they are not soft dress shoes…I have worked these boots and they like it. I hope the folks at GS will forgive me for making a few alterations to fit my eye and lifestyle but these are well fitting beautiful boots that are tough as the dragon skin they resemble. I know the speed hooks don’t match but only you and I will ever know. Don’t pass these up if you are on the fence."

Ken J. (5/5)

Beautiful and comfortable Olive Minerva Garrison boots.

"I recently added these Garrison Boots in medium Olive Minerva to my collection. They are beautiful and supremely comfortable. What else could you ask of them? Matched up with darker pants, they look sophisticated. Matched up with lighter pants, they really pop!"

John F. (5/5)

Fantastic quality in a striking leather

"I am hoping to see more Minerva Box options on this and other styles going forward. The texture is absolutely epic and the color is just so rich and deep. The boots are built like tanks, but are still quite striking and refined. The soles are less bulky than pictures would make you believe. This is my first pair of Grant Stone boots but definitely not my last."

Olive Garrison Boot

"The perfect shade, versatile, and comfortable!"

Joshua D. (5/5)

First Grant Stone Boots

"Love the boots! The fit is perfect. Clearly great care was taken on all elements of the finish. I didn’t make an aesthetic decision and re-finished the mid-sole edge to lighten up the visual weight of boots. They’ve been very comfortable so far and are quickly going into consistent rotation with my other boots. This was my first pair of Grant Stone boots and overall I’m impressed with the quality of the work."

Erik S. (5/5)

Best boot I’ve ever owned

"Best boot I’ve ever owned at a fair price. I get tons of compliments"

Chad B. (5/5)

"Almost perfect. My only minor complaint the eye holes for laces are a bit small."

christopher (5/5)

Solid

"This is a very sturdy boot. Color is great fit is decent. After wearing them for a day they can get pretty heavy and rub my feet. I think just some breaking in is necessary."

Dalton S. (5/5)

My Favorite Grant Stone so far.

"Absolutely thrilled with these boots! From the moment I slipped them on, the fit was spot-on—snug in all the right places and immediately comfortable, no break-in time needed. The leather is something else: rich, supple, and dyed the most striking shade of green I've ever seen. It's a head-turner in the best way. Support-wise, they feel like they were crafted by someone who actually understands feet—great arch support, balanced weight, and no discomfort even after hours on the move. The materials exude quality, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. I inspected them top to bottom and couldn’t find a single mark, stitch out of place, or flaw. Just pure attention to detail. For the price point, it’s honestly a steal. These boots punch well above their weight in terms of quality and design. I’d recommend them without hesitation—they’re easily one of the best footwear investments I’ve made."
