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 plain toe boot pattern—made with nothing but proven leather uppers, lining, and insole.
This article, tanned by Charles F. Stead, has an outstanding balance of strength and character. The tannage creates a tight fiber structure that is infused with wax. The Earth color is a very dark brown out of the box and begins to show lighter shades through everyday wear.

Made with
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.
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
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.

"This is my sixth pair of Grant Stone boots and definitely my favorite. The Waxed Commander leather is a bit of a departure from the Chromexcel in appearance but it has its own awesome character. The color is a really deep blackish brown. “Earth” is actually a great name for the color. Break-in was quicker than the CXL leathers and I’m actually looking forward to beating this up a bit and not babying them."
"Really impressed with the Diesel Boot in Earth Waxed Commander. Super well built and comfortable right away. Break in was quick. They honestly look better on foot than in pictures. The leather has a great feel and character, and it’s easy to maintain. Just a wax based balm and they look almost new again. Solid, good looking boot that’s easy to wear."
"The waxed commander is absolutely fantastic! Living/working in Boston, these have allowed me to be office ready while also managing the snow/cold this winter. They’ve been pretty water resistant, salt marks come right out with a quick brushing. Highly recommend if you need to brave bad weather and still look presentable! Have a high instep, and it’s taking a bit long to wear in - still pretty snug over the top of the toe box. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars!"
"Very high quality. Takes a bit of use because of high quality leather and contruction. I’m overall very pleased with all"
"Love the boot but the laces broke after a couple of wears. What’s up with that? Hoping they’ll send a replacement."
"Great fit! Love the craftsmanship!!"
"My second pair of Grant Stone boots. These are just as great as the first pair I got. Haven’t yet worn them in the rain to see how durable the waxed aspect is. But, I love Grant Stone boots and have faith in their quality."
"Boots look great and seem to be well-crafted but I wish you made a wider size EE as well."
"Beautiful boots that I can wear in all conditions without babying/worrying about them"
"Their great boots I have no complaints but I have observations. It appears to me on the pair I got the brighter sections of the sole seems to be darker and only after a week of wear a considerable piece of the rubber bottom came off but I have been wearing them pretty harshly."
