Grant Stone’s boot lineup continues to grow with their new offering. Named after their hometown of Baroda, Michigan, the Baroda Boot is a rugged plain toe that perfectly balances elements of vintage work and service boots.
The Baroda is built on Grant Stone’s high-walled Floyd last, which offers a roomy silhouette with a larger toe than the brand’s Diesel Boot. The collar has a beautifully slight upward curve which, along with the leather piping and smaller eyelets, adds a touch of elegance to an otherwise rugged boot. Subtle details, huge impact.
Grant Stone has premiered the Baroda in three different makeups. First, we’ve got a classic Saddle Tan made from Badalassi Carlo leather. This warm mid-brown is a workhorse, pairing with all manner of pants from denim and fatigues to more formal fare. Speaking of workhorses, the Butterum makeup made from Charles F. Stead Gum Oiled Desert Oasis Suede is here in all its nappy glory. Both of these leather options sit on proprietary Grant Stone lug rubber outsole that offers both style and traction.
Last but certainly not least is the Frost edition, crafted from Waxy Commander leather from Charles F. Stead. Aptly named, this leather offers a cold, steely grey colorway that’s simply irresistible when paired with that black Vibram wedge outsole. They’re begging to be paired with some black pants or some faded raw denim.
Each pair is built by skilled craftspeople on Xiamen Island, China, using Goodyear welt construction that allows the Baroda to be recrafted if necessary. Details include full-grain kip leather lining, gunmetal eyelets and speed hooks, vegetable-tanned leather insole, welt, and midsole, full-grain leather heel counters, and a 360º split-reverse welt.
Available for $395 from Grant Stone.
