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. Gallun’s shrunken calf is unique in several ways. Although the raw material is calf, it is tanned to produce a heavy shrunken grain character with abundant oils and waxes, creating a rich feel and look rarely found on calf leather. It is then plated to offer the transparent aniline aesthetic, highlighting the leather’s natural character.
