Diesel Boot Saddle Tan

$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.

Reviews

If I had to pick one, it would be these. For the love of the Badalassi Carlo Tannery's Minerva

"I really like these boots, they are quickly becoming the most comfortable of the collection. Something about that leather sole just makes sense. Takes a minute to wear them in, the first 2-3 outings will be slipNslide , but once worn they are the best. I need not mention this leather, it is the stuff of legends, firm yet supple, smells fantastic, and ages even better. Lately it seams I make excuses to pick these boots before the others. . Bravo Grant Stone"

Diesel Boot in Saddle Tan – Built Right

"My Diesel boot in Saddle Tan is a magnificent boot. The fit and finish really stand out, and the style, leather quality, and thickness all come together in a way that sets it apart from a lot of other manufacturers out there. It feels solid, durable, and built to last. Grant Stone has done an outstanding job with this one. I’ve been a loyal Allen Edmonds customer for years, but after trying these, I’ve started to move toward Grant Stone because of the level of quality they’re putting out. I couldn’t be happier with this boot and Grant Stone. I’ll be buying many more boots in the future."

So happy with the Diesel

"I got the Diesel boots in saddle tan and I'm very impressed . You can really feel the quality in the build. The leather is beautiful and the stitching was flawless. I've had them 2 weeks and have gotten several compliments on them already, can't wait to see how they wear in!"

— Chris F. (5/5)

Exceeded my expectations

"What a beautiful, well crafted boot. The stitching of the welt and leather outsoles were exceptional, and the leather quality is as good as other boots costing twice as much. Exceeded my expectations in every way. I will definitely be adding more of their boots and shoes to my collection."

— Douglas F. (5/5)

Great boot!

"Great boot!"

— Louis R. (5/5)

Best looking boots ever.

"I would have gave a 5 star for these boots but one of my boots had a blemish when they trimmed the leather sole. I would think they would have sent these boots on the B boots but oh well. I still love them. Just makes me think before I would get another pair, which I was eyeing the same ones in black. I’ve seen every video on quality there is to watch on these boots and then this happens lol. Not something I’d expect from a $435 - $25 discount. Now with the feel of the boot and sizing. They are a perfect fit for me. I wear a 10. 5 in Nikes, but I ordered a 9. 5 D in these and I mean they are perfect. I do have a skinny foot, or I would have tried a 10. The boots need to have a break in period, to be expected. I truly don’t want to wear them tho because they look too good and I don’t want to scuff them lol. But I will. All in all I love these boots and the color and can’t wait for them to patina."

Beautiful Rich Color

"These boots are even more stunning in person, and they are more comfortable than I thought they would be right out of the box! The leather soles are a bit slippery still, but I am looking forward to seeing how these boots evolve. Well done Grant Stone!"

— William M. (5/5)

The leather on this boot

"The leather on this boot is just so great. Construction of the boot is fantastic. I am looking forward to breaking in and wear it for years to come."

Q&A

Are Neutral Venetian Cream and Neutral Venetian Balm one in the same item? A Grant Stone team 11/7/21 answer to a 11/1/21 customer question, appears to advise the customer to use Neutral Venetian Cream to condition Badalassi vegetable tanned leather. I'm not seeing Neutral Venetian Cream offered with Grant Stone accessories. I do see Neutral Venetian Balm.: We sell the Balm. We like the higher the wax content of the balm so we can re-dub the wax. They are basically the same, just the balm has more wax content.
Do you plan to offer 12.5 size?: Unfortunately, no plans to add the 12.5 to our collection. The majority of customers who fall into that sizing gap have found the 12E fits nicely. It's a little wider, deeper and longer than 12D. Hope this helps.
What conditioner is best for this Badalassi vegetable tanned leather?: We use a lot of Neutral Venetian Cream. We suggest you start somewhere other than the vamps to see how it reacts with the upper. The Saddle Tan upper is pretty receptive, start light and start at the heel if possible. That way, if it's darkening the upper more than anticipated, you won't constantly see it on your vamps.
Will this boot be available with a rubber outsole in the future?: Unfortunately there are no plans to sell this on a rubber sole option.
Is this shoe comfortable? I need something I can wear to work, a couple times a week, and often standing or walking about.: This leo last offers great support. The arch has medium support and the forepart is a bit wider than the average D width. This boot should be great for being on the feet all day.
