I purchased Grenson Archie in 2015 back when I was studying at Bristol University, UK. I was always into shoes but I was mostly interested in basketball shoes and sneakers. I needed a pair of shoes to wear with my suits. I found Grenson Archie, which was discounted for Christmas sale. So I bought them. When I received the shoes I was amazed by the quality and these were in a red box, which I loved. I don’t have any photos of it from 5 years ago, because I changed my phone a few times and also I didn’t know I would be blogging about my shoes 5 years ago.
Funnily enough, phones are almost 5 times more expensive and they need to be changed quicker than these shoes.
I wore these to a lot of places including my trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands, friend’s parties in Chester, UK. They have been rained on, snowed on, been in the mud as well. I mean, I didn’t wear them every day, but I would say that I have used them more than normal sneakers would last.
