Advice on these Grenson boots?

[Stavros]

I got an offer for the depicted (new) Grenson chukka boots in dark brown suede for 120 dollars (incl. shipping). Have no idea what line they are from. Any suggestions as to whether it's worth it?

Thanks in advance!

I think they're from the Rushden range - possibly these :

Rushden if the box is the original. Model Smith or Leach http://www.grenson.co.uk/RushdenRang...p?categoryid=2

Is it me or does these shoes remind you of clown shoes?

Yeah, the new Grenson lasts leave a lot to be desired. Nothing like the ones they made back in the days of the legendary first PS sample sale.

Unfortunately Genson’s Rushden range has a nice line in clown’s shoes.

Tim Little (of Tim Little shoe fame), who has been made MD, maybe four years ago, is obviously determined to run Grenson into the ground. He’s come up with hideous ‘designer lasts’ and produces a line of shoes, that aims to appeal to the refined tastes of the British ‘chav‘.

I think they look fine in chukka form, $120 is reasonable for the quality.
