I have 2 pairs of grensons 1 I've had a year they are the hand painted brown leather nanette combat boots i love them in the u.s I wear a true 8 and before purchasing i did research and found that a UK 5.5 would work i got them and tried and they fit perfect i have a narrow foot so they fit great the only thing I didn't love about these specific ones is the tounge keeps moving it dont stay put.I love my 1st grensons so much I decided I wanted a black pair,just recently Grenson added new styles I saw the black "rugged leather" combat style and chose them in UK 5.5 but I ordered these directly from Grenson last time I ordered from shopbop anyway I love these as well same good fit no problems even better the tongue on these ones stays put the rugged leather has a rough style texture to it it makes like a distressed look but thats why I chose these i love that about them.Also had no complications in the ordering process ordering from shopbop or directly from Grenson.
