The Ottawa boot—combining Goodyear-welt construction with time-proven leather uppers, lining, and insoles—is based on our classic Diesel boot. However, the hand-sewn split-toe moc breaks up the vamp nicely, creating a versatile business casual boot. The end result makes the otherwise broader shape of the Leo last look more aggressive and sleek.
Every pair crafted in our factory on Xiamen Island, China
The Leo last runs a half-size large. Customers typically order a half-size down from their average shoe size.

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.

We encourage customers to ask our team for assistance to ensure the best fit.

"I loved the quality and craftsmanship enough to purchase a pair of the Brass Boots the minute my Ottawa’s arrived. Currently my favorite boots in my collection…and the Black CXL is beautiful. Thes boots are on a level with boots two to two and a half times the price. My only complaint is the laces break easily. FYI my foot measures 11B and I ordered these in a 10D and I fitted a 3mm leather footbed for a perfect fit"
"I was torn between the Ottawa and Brass but ultimately went with the Ottawa in black Chromexcel and couldn’t be happier. Having worn them multiple times over the few weeks of ownership, I’ve had compliments every time I’ve worn them. They are comfortable right out of the box and have exceeded my expectations."
"2nd pair of boots from Grant Stone. Like the Diesel, the Ottawas fit me well and were easy to break-in. Only wore them indoors 2x for 2-3 hours then used them on a holiday and walked 26k steps in one day! Construction is impeccable and CXL leather was well chosen. Easily paired with a variety of chinos and jeans! All great!"
"My first black pair of Grant Stone boots and I had narrowed it down to two options. . . the black bison Diesel or the black CXL Ottawa. Both shoes styles are in my collection and while I love the texture of bison leather - the limited leather options offered in the Ottawa style directed me to go with this beautiful boot which fits like a dream, constructed with the care and quality which I have come to expect from Grant Stone and looks like a million bucks with a good portion of my wardrobe. Looking forward to more Ottawa boot leather options in the future!"
"I own several pairs of Grant Stone boots, and these are easily my favorite. They look fantastic, fit perfectly, and, as always with Grant Stone, the build quality is exceptional."
"I love these boots! The quality of craftsmanship is fantastic. The leather is comfortable and provides a great fit after breaking in."
"First pair of Grant Stones. They have a glove-like feel and though I can tell there's going to be a little break in period, I don't think it'll be too long. They are gorgeous boots, very well crafted."
"Very happy with this boot. Super comfortable for my wide feet (11. 5 EEE). Can easily dress up. 10/10"
"Very high quality. Exceeded my expectations."
"Slight asymmetries, but overall great boot."
