I'll have a punt as well I reckon; their belts look quality as well - every colour of the rainbow for a decent price as well.

Do the shoes generally fit TTS? i.e. an 8 in Grenson will be an 8 for these lot?

Cheers for that link ginner and all the advice everybody else. Depends on the style and the last Shane but generally going for your size in Grensons is probably right.

^^^

That's a good point actually - what's the best suede protector everyone uses? The ones I've used in the past have been absolutely dogshit and have ruined my shoes - completely changed the colour; turns lighter suede very, very dark.

The best/safest I've used are the saphir and crepe project ones.

Can anybody tell me where these shoes are from? Really want them! They are only worn in this link to advertise the trousers, not from top man

Best suede protector out there. No colour change and does exactly what it should. Reeks when you put it on though.

Walked by this morning and the queue was ridiculous (not in a good way).

Shape is good and they look clean, but cant help thinking they would look better with normal laces or something to break up all the leather at the front.
