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.
Chromexcel leather tanned by Horween in Chicago is incredibly resilient while offering unparalleled character. The hot-stuffed tannage's natural oils and waxes create an unmistakable pull-up effect and supple feel. Creasing and color variation are to be expected on these natural, aniline leathers. Each pair will develop differently as each hide is unique.
This boot comes equipped with our new Micro Stud Rubber Sole, which is built to handle all seasons. The rubber compound features a medium density and combines traction and durability.
- Goodyear-welt construction

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.

My new favorite boots
"Probably the nicest boots I've ever owned. Virtually no breakin required. I've only been wearing them around the house because it's been too hot out for boots but I can't wait to start wearing them. They are so comfortable. Love the color and the feel of the leather. And the smell! I was a little unsure about the sizing at first but after chatting with your excellent customer service, we decided the size was correct. I will definitely be looking to buy another pair (or more) at some point. These are money well spent for sure."
Best boots ever

5/5 – My First Step
"5/5 – My First Step Into the World of Heritage Boots Buying the Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Dune Chromexcel has been as enjoyable as owning them. I spent a long time researching different brands, leathers, lasts, and sizing, and the whole process made me appreciate just how much thought goes into a quality pair of boots. My only previous experience with premium footwear was a pair of R. M. Williams boots back in 2016. They served me well, but the Diesel Boot has opened my eyes to the wider world of heritage, Goodyear-welted footwear. The Dune Chromexcel leather is stunning. It has a beautiful natural colour with plenty of character, and you can already tell it’s going to develop an incredible patina over time. The craftsmanship is exceptional—from the stitching to the finishing—and the boots feel like they’re built to last for many years. One thing I really appreciated was getting the sizing right. Taking the time to understand the fit made all the difference, and now the boots feel fantastic on foot. I have a feeling these won’t be my last pair. In fact, I think I’ve caught the heritage boot bug. What started as buying a single pair has quickly become an appreciation for quality craftsmanship, beautiful leathers, and timeless style. I can already see myself adding more pairs to the collection in the future. If you’re considering a pair of Grant Stones, I’d say they’re absolutely worth it. They combine outstanding quality, classic styling, and remarkable value, and they’ve made me realise why so many people become passionate about well-made boots."
The Perfect One And Done Boot!
"The Diesels are the best boots I own!! The leather is perfect, no loose grain and its a thick leather, but its soft and breaks in within the first two days of wear. Im amazed how well these are finished and how comfortable they are right out of the box considering theyre all leather construction. The leather laces are soft and durable, the insoles are thick leather and after two weeks of wearing these, theyre starting to form to my foot. The leather upper has already formed around my foot to be my most comfortable boot. These are so good I bought another pair of diesels in crimson chromexel."
Super boot!
"This is great boot. Dresses up or down and super comfortable."
Wonderful boots
"Gorgeous boot, well made and fit is terrific. Sizing is half size down as GS advised. For anyone who wears Alden boots last on diesel is something between the trubulance and Barrie lasts. Wonderful boot and liked it so much I bought a pair of the brass boots already."
Awesome Boots for Every Occasion
"Took a few tries to get the right size and boots without flaws, but these boots are really great. The GS team was so helpful throughout the whole process too! Can't wait to see how these age."
Q&A
- How much does this boot weigh?
- Hi Keith, Thank you for reaching out. Depending on the size of the boot, generally our boots weigh between 2 and 4 pounds a pair. If you need further assistance, we are happy to help at info@grantstoneboot.com
- I saw that someone on Youtube reviewed this boot, but it had a leather sole. Is it possible to order this shoe with a leather sole?
- Unfortunately, we won't make the Dune Diesel boot on a leather outsole. We made a running change over to our Grant Stone micro stud outsole. Thanks for inquiring.
- Which Venetian cream color should I use for the diesel boot dune?
- We like to use Neutral Venetian cream as it won't darken the upper as brown would.
- I normally wear a size 10.5. What size diesel dune boot should I get? Thanks in advance
- In most cases we suggest to size down half a size from your average sneaker or dress shoe size!
