Care Routine
Break-In
Took a while to break in but got very soft once it did. Essentially no care needed other than brushing. Patina took a long time to come.

Satisfied with the Fit
A bit tight in the toe box, but I should have bought an E width.

Very impressed with these fantastic boots.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy Patrick_I._Nas • April 3, 2025"I wore these boots every single day for this project, which means through all kinds of weather and activity! Hiking, biking, commuting, traveling, and getting my daily steps in, through sun, wind, rain, and snow. These boots have been a faithful companion and they have never let me down...."Read the full review
Witty Title
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Kango Tobacco OstrichBy prospect_joe • April 3, 2024"I wore these boots everywhere doing everything. The highlight was probably hiking. I have done 10+ mile hikes in these boots at Bryce Canyon National Park (the first day I wore them--bad idea), Zion National Park, Dixie National Forest, Fishlake National Forest, Redcliffs National Conservation Area, Snow Canyon State Park, and the Canaan Wilderness.
On top of the hundreds of thousands of miles of hiking they endured, I also took them snowshoeing. Worst of all these boots were worn to teach college students and do academic research.
Finally this winter was relatively mild with respect to snow. Nevertheless, they frequently saw snow and salt...."Read the full review
Could handle everything I threw at them and just keep on looking better and better!

Great suede! Barely patinas though.

Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Navy ChromexcelBy renee2day • April 4, 2024"I wore these boots almost all of October and rotated them every other day after November’s contest submission. These boots have been in all weather, rain, ice, snow, mud, brush, brambles, rocks, gravel, and pavement. I wore them walking dogs outside. They cleaned up nice to meet real estate clients and the public for open houses. They even got danced in a few times in the evenings...."Read the full review
I can't explain in a few words what these shoes did, I think I really lived them, as I am living me.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Incas Jungle KangarooBy SimOnthEdge • April 2, 2025"I have used these shoes in various territories. From the wooded and rocky areas of Sardinia, with dust, sea, sand and mud, to the mountains of Trentino where there were heavy snowfalls and temperatures even at minus 15. I tend not to use heavy socks and I still found them good in both area.
I have also used them to work both in the evening at the reception of a restaurant, and as a shiatsu masseur in various hotels in Trentino, and for pleasure trips in the city.
The best use, however, was to visit many lost archaeological sites in Sardinia where the shoes, like me, were imbued with incredible energy...."Read the full review

Getting a kick out of kangaroo
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Incas Jungle KangarooBy anonymouz • April 2, 2024"Honestly, I had low hopes of interesting patina given that I usually work from home and don't wear shoes in the house. So, in order to maximize the time wearing these, I ended up wearing these to the gym several times a week and to church each week. I did wear these during one 6 mile hike. Otherwise, I didn't have any particular strenuous activities...."Read the full review
Two of a kind, working on a full house
Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Badalassi Carlo Saddle Tan MinervaBy cuffcheckdenim • April 4, 2024"This leather is so tough and ready for anything. It changes with every brush, and it takes to brushing and conditioning like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s slow to soften up at break-in, taking almost four months before it was feeling soft as butter all around, but this is a testament to its strength. Consider conditioning these regularly after the first few months. The Veg tan will thank you. It goes from a golden blonde to a burnt orange in a few months, especially when brushed and exposed to the elements...."Read the full review

Grant Stone Diesel Boot in Horween Crimson ChromexcelBy uriandries • April 6, 2024"They were largely worn working retail, so lots of time standing and walking, but also a good handful of wilderness hikes around mid Michigan. Our winter here was pretty gentle this year, but they certainly went through plenty of snow and puddles...."Read the full review
