Grenson: The Good Shoe

We just love a shoe with a bit of heritage behind the brand, and Grenson certainly ticks all the boxes. Grenson was founded by William Green in 1866 who learnt his trade as a shoe maker from his mother. Beginning as a cottage-based business it has retained the high, hand made standards of its founder. Today Grenson shoes are more popular than ever due to collaborations with forward thinking designers, which they marry with their classic style.

With Goodyear Welted leather soles Grenson's are beautiful shoes that are built to last, even if you're not as light on your feet as their other famous customer, Fred!
