Diesel Boot Dark Burgundy Kudu

$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. 

Our mission

Providing Excellent Service

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.

Reviews

First Grant Stone Purchase

"Construction of the boot is great. Unfortunate sizing dilemma is that the EEE is too wide and the E is kind of snug. The top of the boot pinches down above my big toe. Hopefully will stretch more during wear and the discomfort will go away."

Don D. (4/5)

Unbelievably Comfortable and super high quality!

"First impression: WOW! Spending this kind of money on a boot you’ve never seen in person was a risk but man did it pay off!! When they tell you to order down, believe them. In every other boot I own, I’m an 11 E or 11EEE. The 10. 5 EEE is plenty wide (will order E next time) but be prepared for no cushioning. Zero. But that’s NOT a bad thing. I can’t believe I’m saying this but it’s true. . by far. . as comfortable as my Brunt workboots with the double cushioned insoles. Seriously…if you’re on the fence…do it."

Diesel boot dark burgundy kudo

"One beautiful boot built like a tank !! The kudu leather was gorgeous with plenty of character. Would definitely recommend this boot to anyone looking for a stylish well handcrafted boot !!"

Ronald B. (5/5)

"Gorgeous boots."

"Nice fit"

Dorian V. (5/5)

Everything I expected and more

"It was only fitting that I ordered these boots in the C. F. Stead Kudu leather for my eighth visit to southern Africa, the natural habitat of the Kudu. They are everything I had wished for in my previous boots (Red Wings, Aldens, and Trickers) in one package. The E width, commando sole, partially gusseted tongue, and speed hooks were what drew me, but the impeccable fit and finish was the icing on top. The styling is a perfect balance of stylish yet rugged and practical. Only thing I would note, compared with my other boots in the same environment, they did not seem to breathe as well. Wish they would bring back the Chukkas with the crepe sole, I would be all over those again!"

Sidian C. (5/5)

Best purchase of the year.

"I simply love them, they've quickly become my go to pair of footwear of any kind, they are insanely comfortable and pairs great with pretty much any casual wear I own."

Prasanth K. (5/5)

Awesome

"Amazing quality. True craftsmanship. Sizing is interesting. Picked up a size 7. 5EEE. Always been a size 9. Didn't know I had wide feet. Just ask them if you're unsure. They were spot on with my sizing through email. These guys are that good."

Tyler M. (5/5)

Beautiful Kudu Boot

"My first kudu boot, the leather is soft and comfortable, best boot I have ever worn. The boot has been comfortable out of the box. The color is a deep dark red/brown, and I can't wait to see how it patinas and ages!"

Charles F. (5/5)

Love these Kudos

"Great boots. Thr fit is great and thr leather is so interesting. I love natural variations of kudu leather and the color of these really brings out that natural beauty. Great quality throughout from the insole on down to the commando type sole. My first but will not be my last Grant Stone."

Q&A

I now own 6 pairs of Grant Stones and it's only been a few months. I have one question. When? When? When? will I be able to attain a pair of Dark Burgundy Kudu 8.5 Width E's? I have a fever for Grant Stones. And the only cure is a pair of 8.5 E's Dark Burgundy Kudu's. You don't understand... I need these. That is all.
