Man, I tried. I tried really hard. It is really tough these days to find quality goods outside a major US city, or hell even in a major US city. I tried my best to attain a pair of kicks that would really be on par with what I have been conjuring in my mind’s eye. These Grensons are just about as close to perfection as I could find, and truthfully they lived up what I had pictured. Amazing craftsmanship, beautiful leather (man that smell was amazing) and just an overall luxurious quality of days gone by. So, I ordered up a pair, waited the 5 weeks it took to get them from the UK after blindly guessing on an approximate size. Of course the size was completely wrong and moreover I guess English brogues are generally made in a wide width that aren’t compatible with the feet I’ve been given. What a bummer, I seriously considered packing them out with newspaper they are that cool.


Sadly, I ended up ordering a pair of RL Barx Boat shoes (I know I swore I wouldn’t cave into them) but man they turned out to be actually a really nice looking shoe, great leather, good fit and I got them in less than 24 hours with free shipping and no tax from Endless.com.

Sigh, sometimes handy, is well, handy.

I know. You make fun of the Fluevogs. But, I’m still in search of my spring shoe and this is close.

I went ahead and ordered up these Kenneth Coles. Again. For the 2nd time. Let’s see if size 9 is the answer.
