I recently picked up the Fred V boot by Grenson — who have been making quality footwear since 1866. After much debate, I settled for the Burnt Pine (though also available in Tan or Black) while they were on sale over at End. I’d been meaning to pickup a nice brogue for quite a while now, so the timing was perfect.

The boot itself is surprisingly light — compared to my Red Wing 877 anyway — and features a smooth calf upper with a Vibram Morflex sole put together by a storm welt, oversized brogue detailing, waxed leather laces and canvas pull tabs. The weather isn’t quite right for these just yet but I look forward to giving them some solid wear come spring and fall.
