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.

This Horween's Chromexcel leather is named after the Marine's N-1 Field Shoe, commonly called the 'Boondocker.’ This full-grain leather is used flesh-side out, providing a roughout texture with a fine, even nap. The 'Marine Field Shoe' leather will develop an aggressive patina; its light tan nap will mat down and significantly darken over time, transforming into a rich, deep golden brown.

This Diesel Boot features our new Dr. Sole outsole, which was developed for our last. This bottom is incredibly hard-wearing and offers the classic Dr. Sole half-sole silhouette.

  • Goodyear-welt construction
  • Leo last
  • Marine Field Shoe Chromexcel from Horween
  • 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
  • Dr. Sole Supergrip half sole and heel

Every pair crafted in our factory on Xiamen Island, China

Diesel Boot Natural Roughout 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.

First Class Grant Stone Diesel Boots

"Best Lace up boots I own. I am a 10UK in Shoe normally abd the US 10D in the Leo Last are absolutely perfect in this Boot. Previously I've worn Red Wing, Trumans, Nicks and Whites in quality Lace Ups but none fit as well as these Grant Stone Diesel whilst also having the same attention to detail. In slip ons I also wear Lofgren Engineer Boots which have the same attention to detail and fit brilliantly, however they are over twice the price of the Grant Stone Diesel, so it's a great Boot at superb price point."

— Mark S. (5/5)

Exactly what I was looking for

"I've been looking for a boondocker style boot for a while now and jumped on this as soon as I saw the pre-order sign up. I own the Brass boot in crimson and the penny loafer in loden suede and this is, so far, my favorite purchase from GS. I got hit by 16 inches of snow days after receiving it so I've have been putting it through its paces (though that's not really the intended purpose). Despite being lighter than I thought it would be and not having a storm welt it has functioned fantastically. The shape is the perfect balance of streamlined and rugged and the break-in is almost non-existent; these are extremely cumfortable. I'm particularly impressed by the soles; absolutely no slipping in icy conditions. It looks like it will patina beautifully. My only critical note is that I wish there was gusseting, but that hasn't been a problem thus far. For a casual 3-season boot, this hits all the right notes for me."

— Pinchas C. (5/5)

Excellent addition to the GS collection

"Love this boot so far, if you’re on the fence about the green Dr. sole , don’t be. Hardly noticeable. Same quality you’ve come to expect from the Diesel. Can’t wait to get a nice patina on this."

— Greg B. (5/5)

beautiful looking boot

"My third pair of diesel boots, they look and feet great. holding off until spring and the road salt is gone, but excited to see how the patina develops."

— Scott W. (5/5)

Natural Roughout vs. Waxy Commander

"The boots fit great and are very comfortable right out of the box. One of the first things that stood out to me was the sole, it’s a unique and interesting color choice that really adds character to the overall design. For comparison, I also own a pair of Diesel boots in Waxy Commander leather from Charles F. Stead. Although the two versions look very similar in photos, they feel completely different in person. The Waxy Commander leather is noticeably stiffer and has a subtle sheen from the applied wax. Over time, though, they’ve aged beautifully, and I really appreciate how that leather develops character with wear. The Diesel boots in Natural Roughout are a completely different experience. The leather feels soft, supple, and far more flexible from the start. There was virtually no break-in period, which honestly surprised me. I was initially concerned they might end up feeling too loose once broken in, but after wearing them on and off for three weeks, they still fit perfectly and haven’t stretched out. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that the Natural Roughout picks up grime from everyday wear more quickly than the Waxy Commander leather. That’s somewhat expected with roughout, but it’s worth noting. That said, the Natural Roughout boots are incredibly versatile. They work well in casual settings but can easily be dressed up for a more semi-formal look. Overall, I’m really impressed with them, great fit, comfortable leather, versatile styling, and a standout sole that gives them a distinctive edge."

Very nice boots

"Like all my Grant Stone boots, these are off the highest quality, leather is perfect and build is perfect, I’m an 11D on Brannock, 10. 5 D fit perfect, Grant Stone boots are the best"
