I've always liked Grenson and have recently decided to look into getting a new pair. I haven't looked for years, and remember the asking price used to be £200-300.
However, there are loads of Grensons on the bay for £70-80 at the moment. Anyone know about these? They could be seconds, but I'm worried Grenson are going the way of other great brands and dropping their quality. I've read a few forum posts about them being made in India, but one eBay seller tells me they're UK made.
Even the the online shoe retailers I've checked are selling Grensons for £120-160; that's cheaper than when I bought a pair in the 90's.
Can anyone here cast sone light on this? Is Grenson still a quality brand?
