How should I size in a Grenson Sid brogue? I am a 45 Margiela, 44 CP, 44 RIck. These are the ones:

A 44 should work or 43, Grenson is slightly wider than CP and long. If you are looking for a black brogue I would not recommend Grenson though lot's of better options

Thanks for the response stevent. If I remember correctly, you purchased some Grensons a while back but returned them because of poor finishing. Could you elaborate? I really like the look of this particular shoe. What would you recommend? Tricker's? AE?

Last Grensons I bought were from Park and Bond maybe 2 years ago? It's essentially a made in India shoe using lower quality leather. Tricker's make a solid chunky brogue, AE might have one but I'm not sure. Depends on budget though and Grensons are usually on sale at least 50-70% so nothing would really be cheaper

These are the Sid model. They are listed as "Handmade in England." I just need something casual to beat up at work. Thanks for your help stevent.

A lot of them are just finished in London, depends on how you view it, it's probably a good work beater

And actually I just looked at it, no England anywhere on first few sites

 

[crosswound]

it looks nice in the online site photos but it might look more plasticky in real life. this is what happened with me and the common projects derby shine oxfords looked nice in photos in black. bought them looked almost like a fake leather in person. returned asap stick to cordovan for the shiniest of the shines....

Any recommendations for a black boot in size 13/46? Something like Dayton Service's if possible. Want a more rugged looking boot in black. I know there's a lot of people looking for similar alternatives to them, so wanted to see what people have found.

20% off just clicked so hard my arm broke through the desk

What are some good options for some fingerless gloves that will actually last me a couple of winters. My current one's I picked up are fraying and falling apart after one winter.

Maybe these? (I think these are the same, but cheaper and without the branding.)

Solid suggestion man, thank you. They do appear to be the same and I picked up the red and olive pair for the price of the branded pair.
