Leather uppers from world renown tanneries including the U.S.A., England, Italy and France. Vegetable tanned leather welts from Massachusetts to offer the strength needed to endure years of wear and resoling.

The Grant Stone story began and continues in Xiamen, China and Southwest Michigan. Our co-founder spent 8 years in the Xiamen factory, learning the craft and Chinese culture en route to creating Grant Stone in 2016. Together, we identified the opportunity to build Goodyear-welt footwear using premium leather components, delivered directly to consumers.

This is a wildly popular take on how new GYW footwear should fit.
The majority of our collection runs half a size larger than the average shoe size and one full size larger than the average sneaker. For example, if you wear a 10.5 in most shoes, we would suggest a 10D in our collection. For a specific recommendation, please send us an email (info@grantstoneboot.com) sharing your current sizes, or call our fit line to discuss with Randy, who has over 30 years of experience in the Goodyear-welt business.
Below are two processes which reflect both simple and more in depth methods to help maintain and preserve your shoes. Depending on wear and the environment the shoes are in, a conditioner or shoe cream can be applied every few weeks. Fundamentally, if the leather looks or feels dry, a conditioner should be used.

Where to begin with Grant Stone shoes? I purchased a pair of their Plain Toe Bluchers in Dune CXL and I was absolutely blown away by the quality. Please don't let the fact that these shoes are made in China put you off.
The materials, construction, and overall fit and finish are top notch and I dare say they rival more expensive brands like Alden and Trickers. And at this price point, they simply can't be beat.
And I must say their customer service is absolutely fantastic. I often have a difficult time finding the right size because I have narrow feet and wear podiatrist prescribed custom orthotics

I’ve now purchased 2 pairs of Grant Stones - Ottawa’s in dune CXL and Plain toe bluchers in Saddle tan. Both shoes are absolutely amazing. Both fit extremely well right out of box. Comparing them to my (many) pairs of Allen Edmonds, I can say the leather is much higher quality (thicker) and the attention to detail is much higher. For example, the stitching and Goodyear welt is pretty much perfect all around.
The bluchers were grade b, which really means they represent great value. I could tell the grain on the leather is a bit more “loose” than grade a, but I’ve been assured they will

I recently purchased B grade traveler penny loafer in dune and I have to say that the quality of the shoes far exceed some of my other first grade shoes from other company! The shoes is comfortable from the beginning and I love the natural CXL leather which gives the shoes more character.
One thing to keep in mind is to follow the size guide provided by Grant Stone as I'm usually 7.5D in other shoes but with Grant Stone I'm 7D.

Grant Stone is a top-notch company. I ordered B-Grades from their website at a reasonable price, and they look like an A-Grade product. I originally ordered a size too large, but I reached out and Josh helped me return my order and recommended a size based on his experience. My shoes fit like a dream and are very comfortable after being broken in. All that on top of pairing well with casual and dress outfits, so I can wear them in any situation. Furthermore, they also send you a bottle opener/mini shoehorn, which I now take with me when travelling.
