Diesel Boot Tan Essex

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 boot comes equipped with our mirco stud rubber outsole, which is built to handle all seasons. The rubber compound is medium-density and offers a combination of traction and durability.

Creasing and color variation are to be expected on these natural, aniline leathers. Each pair will develop differently as each hide is unique.

  • Goodyear-welt construction
  • Leo last
  • Essex from Horween
  • Full-grain kip leather lining
  • 360º flat welt
  • Antique brass eyelets and speed hooks
  • Vegetable-tanned leather insole, welt, and midsole
  • Cork filler with steel shank 
  • Full-grain leather heel counters
  • Micro stud rubber outsole

Every pair crafted on Xiamen Island, China

The Leo last runs a half-size large. Our customers typically take our Leo-lasted footwear a half-size down from their average sneakers size or the same size as their other Goodyear-welted footwear. 

Not sure? Send an email to info@grantstoneboot.com referencing your current sizing for help.

Enjoy fast, free shipping on orders over $300 in the contiguous US. Orders are processed and shipped within 1-3 business days.

Contiguous U.S. Returns:

  • Free exchanges
  • Refunds - A $15 restocking fee per pair is held when using the prepaid label

/ Feelin’ Tweedy / I’m getting ready to head out of town for a board meeting next week. Louisville and Nashville on the agenda. Nothing more suited to an academic board meeting than a bit of tweedy texture. Speaking of texture, this new speckled flannel hiroshikato_official kindly sent my way is just the kind of foundation a good tweed can rest it’s shoulders upon. This one’s going to get a lot of reps this fall and winter. Man, it’s soft. Keeping it clean, but snappy down low. Peep those rolls taking shape ahead of schedule on the Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan Veg leather. Marathon, not a sprint with these. 👔 hiroshikato_official Navy Speckled Ripper (gifted) 🧥 jcrewmens Ludlow Moon Tweed 👖 jackdonnelly Natural Selvedge Cone Bull Denim (prev gifted) 🥾 grantstone Diesel Saddle Tan for the stitchdownpatinathunderdome #flatlay #blazer #denim #flannel #tweed #tweedblazer #selvedgedenim #conemills #mensboots #goodyearwelted #stitchdown #grantstone #katobrand #hiroshikato #katodenim #grantstonearmy #badalassicarlo #texture #flatlaystyle #mensstyleguide #ivystyle #tradstyle #ruggedacademic #academicstyle #tweedy #jefftweedy #stitchdownpatinathunderdome

The second @stitchdownpatinathunderdome starts in just two months! As proudly returning presenting sponsors of the competition, we will be filling you in on good models to choose from, care tips, leather information, and what our judge — @wyattgilmore — is looking for in this second 6-month-long competition. Featured here are our Tan Essex Diesel boots, now discounted to $285! Still a relatively new tannage from Horween, Essex — a fully vegetable-tanned leather — is great for a customer looking for a leather begging for some patina. Tanned in the same vats as Horween's world-renowned Shell Cordovan, the Essex tannage is soft and subtle to the touch while highly resilient and durable. The Tan Essex Diesel boot is, then, a wonderful choice for the @stitchdownpatinathunderdome! #grantstone #grantsoneboots #grantstoneshoes #goodyearwelted #goodyearwelt #stitchdownpatinathunderdome #stitchdown #shoesoftheday #shoesofinstagram #shoeshopping #shoeinspo #leathermade #leatherboots

Grant Stone Week Day 4: The Diesel in Tan Esses at first glance looks similar to the Saddle Tan. But the initial colour is more British Tan and the softness and “hand” of the leather is very different. grantstone #grantstoneboots #serviceboots #dressboots #leatherboots #mensboots #goodyearweltedboots

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 or rubber—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.
