  • Description
  • Fit Guide
  • Shipping & Returns

The Ottawa boot—combining Goodyear-welt construction with time-proven leather uppers, lining, and insoles—is based on our classic Diesel boot. However, the hand-sewn split-toe moc breaks up the vamp nicely, creating a versatile business casual boot. The end result makes the otherwise broader shape of the Leo last look more aggressive and sleek.

  • Goodyear-welt construction
  • Leo last
  • Chromexcel from Horween
  • Handsewn moc-toe stitching
  • Full-grain kip leather lining
  • 360º split-reverse welt
  • Antique brass eyelets and speed hooks
  • Vegetable-tanned leather insole, welt, and midsole
  • Cork filler with steel shank 
  • Full-grain leather heel counters
  • Micro stud rubber outsole

Every pair crafted in our factory on Xiamen Island, China

The Leo last runs a half-size large. Customers typically order a half-size down from their average shoe size.

Ottawa Boot Black Chromexcel

$435.00

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.

Reviews

Perfect Goldilocks Boot

"My new Ottawas have become my Goldilocks boots that are always on my feet. I also have a pair of diesel and brass boots (both excellent choices) and the ottawas slot perfectly in the middle. Not as sleek as the diesel, not as chunky as the brass. They work incredibly well in a business casual office environment and with jeans on the weekend. I love my other GS boots, but I tend to wear those more situationally whereas the Ottawas are ready for anything. Online, I’ve seen complaints about GS’s proprietary/copy version of the classic dainite soles. While I can’t make a comment based on longevity, in the first two weeks of wear I have put 73 miles on my new Ottawas and I have zero concerns. Yes, they aren’t perfect on smooth wet surfaces, but dainite don’t do well there either. Snag a pair, they might just become your favorites too."

"Awesome boots. Outstanding quality"

— Lucas R. (5/5)

"5th pair from Grant Stone, absolutely love the Leo last! Another great pair and comfortable right out of the box. These guys are the real deal! 10/10 and I’m sure I’ll be back for another pair real soon!"

Stunning

"Fit and finish is top notch. This is my 8th pair, and this one just became my favorite in the bunch."

— Xavier B. (5/5)

"Amazing look. They are a bit stiff but I feel confident with some time they will break in fine. Stitch work is impressive."

— Nick (5/5)

Outstanding Design and incredible value.

"I loved the quality and craftsmanship enough to purchase a pair of the Brass Boots the minute my Ottawa’s arrived. Currently my favorite boots in my collection…and the Black CXL is beautiful. Thes boots are on a level with boots two to two and a half times the price. My only complaint is the laces break easily. FYI my foot measures 11B and I ordered these in a 10D and I fitted a 3mm leather footbed for a perfect fit"

— David B. (5/5)

Sweeter than Yoo Hoo.

"I was torn between the Ottawa and Brass but ultimately went with the Ottawa in black Chromexcel and couldn’t be happier. Having worn them multiple times over the few weeks of ownership, I’ve had compliments every time I’ve worn them. They are comfortable right out of the box and have exceeded my expectations."

— Thomas F. (5/5)

My New Dave Boot!

"2nd pair of boots from Grant Stone. Like the Diesel, the Ottawas fit me well and were easy to break-in. Only wore them indoors 2x for 2-3 hours then used them on a holiday and walked 26k steps in one day! Construction is impeccable and CXL leather was well chosen. Easily paired with a variety of chinos and jeans! All great!"

— Don D. (5/5)

Q&A

Does this boot have a gusseted tongue?
We do have a small gusset at the base of the tongue. It's only about an inch so you can still get in and out of the boot comfortably and effortlessly.
Dear Grant Stone team, how does the sizing of the Leo last compare to a Red Wing Iron Ranger. And the Alden Barrie last? Would this be similar i.e. would a size 7 be like for like - or better to go up or down in size? Much appreciated
Hello! Our leo is very similar sizing to both of these models. Most of our customers wear the same size in all of these boots/shoes.
Good evening, when is the anticipated timeframe these will be in the delivery window. Thanks, Chuck Gotautas
Hello! Delivery time should be within 1-2 weeks.
