Looks like bison
"I'm not entirely sure what the shrunken process is but the leather looks like bison and wears much harder than veg tanned or chromexcel so if you wear your boots hard this is good."

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.
Gallun’s shrunken calf is unique in several ways. Although the raw material is calf, it is tanned to produce a heavy shrunken grain character with abundant oils and waxes, creating a rich feel and look rarely found on calf leather. It is then plated to offer the transparent aniline aesthetic, highlighting the leather’s natural character.
Note: The grain is a natural part of the hide. The grain pattern on each pair is individual and will vary.

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.
