Normally new designs come from the Design Office but when you have a factory, ideas sometimes come from the craftsmen and craftswomen who make the shoes. The Triple Welt is the best example as it was developed in the factory and presented to us for consideration. We loved it immediately because it very visibly showcased shoemaking craftmanship and highlighted the Goodyear Welted construction that we are famous for. Once the sole was perfected, we then set about designing shoes and boots to go on it and to this day - we haven’t stopped. It was an overnight Grenson classic and it is therefore something that we are very proud of.

 We now have three lasts that we make The Triple Welt on. The 201 is the most iconic Grenson Triple Welt. This is a classic shape that comes from our best-selling shoes like Archie and Fred. The 207 last has a slightly more elegant and elongated shape, giving the shoes a slightly smarter look. Finally the newest addition - our 213 last which has a much more rounded toe, giving it more of a chunky look and shape.
