new in this week...



Its winter again and everyone has become obssesd with the military vibe. looking like an ageing member of a strokes tribute band!

The M-43 Service Shoe is really what we would call today an ankle boot. It was in fact the standard issue combat boot issued to G-Is, standardised in June 1943. Made from a 'Rough-Out' hide (Rough-Out meaning the hide was turned inside out - leaving the nap side facing outwards, with the top-grain on the inside), the M-43 service shoe superseded the earlier 1939 model service shoe.


The grenson Glen boot...
The new grenson glen boot has been inspired by that of a vintage military feel with a modern spin!
