Grenson Shoes


English craftsmanship is next to impeccable, especially when it's on your feet. Grenson shoes, an English company started in 1866 in Northamptonshire, is a mens footwear manufacturer that was started out of a cottage by a mother and son team. The company soon grew into one of the most sought-after footwear makers in all of Britain. The 'Grenson' brand was registered in 1913; Grenson was actually one of the first brand names ever to be registered in the UK. The Goodyear Welt construction make each pair a durable and luxe shoe that cannot be replicated. The one pair of Grensons I own is the Stanley Brogues, which is a classic English brogue with a wing tip, but it has a red rubber sole. I love the rubber sole with a wingtip because it makes the shoe more casual, but I can still dress them up.
