Grenson Archie Commando

Grenson are seen by many as the masters of crafting a fine pair of brogue shoes. They certainly have plenty of practice at it as they have been producing footwear for nearly 180 years. A sign of a powerful product and brand is the commercial advertising that is put into it. No doubt you will have noticed that Grenson aren’t particularly one for pushing their products to the masses, rather letting their products do the talking and relying on reputation and word-of-mouth.

The Grenson Archie Commando is one of the brand’s strongest selling shoes and it gets a seasonal makeover for the 2013 season, weighing in with a chunky ‘Commando’ sole.  The Goodyear Welted triple sole (a masterpiece in itself) brings a modern touch to an otherwise classic shoe. Durability is increased with the introduction of this sole and even if you were to wear it down through the years, Grenson have the unique ability to be able to put a new sole onto the shoe through their aftercare service.

The shoe looks equally at home as part of a formal outfit or for a more casual look with a pair of jeans. As we move into the months of harsher weather it will become apparent that if you buy into these Grenson shoes, you have bought a shoe for life that is going to be your best friend in the wet weather.
