There's no way I'd buy from Grenson now.

Prompted me to check out Grenson again and it seems they have the G-zero line which looks like it's made in England with the old fancies probably like the Rose line. Anyone own a G-zero shoe?

I have a pair and they are very nicely made. They aren't as good as the original Masterpiece models of which I have two, but then again these were made a while back and everything was better back then

TBF without knowing too much about this I can tell the leather on my pair of finn is poor quality relative to a more expensive pair, it's all kind of scaley and hard?? Not really sure what this means, but it reeks of cheap. I feel kind of mislead because the leather looked really nice in the pics online (lol). Still, they're seem to be constructed well enough for me to be just about satisfied, for the £100 I paid I think they're fairly decent.

I think it'll have that feel because they probably use corrected grain leather instead of full grain. They have certainly gone down in my eyes in that past few years. That said, the shoes are probably of a better quality than most high street versions.
