Grant Stone Footwear
Grant Stone may be young in terms of how long it’s been around — the company was only founded in 2016 — but the shoemaker has rightly employed a century-and-a-half-old technique making its timeless styles feel wise beyond their years.
Goodyear welted footwear are the type of shoes that are an investment for the rest of your life. That’s because they a) last longer and b) the design itself is an utterly classic choice. Employing the Goodyear welt, Grant Stone strives to achieve lasts with a shape that can fit a majority while maintaining the traditional English-Americana aesthetic. Combining the traditional with the modern, any pair of Grant Stones are future classics.
