Fondant-fancy footwear
More natty he-she hybrids are on the horizon. This time from old-school footwear brand Grenson, who have hooked up with Kurt Geiger to create these Fondant-Fancy coloured brogues. Whether they are for men or women I have no clue but I would certainly wear them. I’m loving the fact that heritage footwear brands are getting more adventurous with their styling. Prada bought Church’s shoes in 1999 and we’ve recently seen a snazzing-up on the design front from them as I mentioned in my post about these fabulously comfortable Church’s silver/black brogues. I don’t mind spending silly money on a pair of shoes if they’re made to last and the good thing about these old English companies is you can bank on the quality. The Grensons will be available from mid-January at Kurtgeiger.com.

ooo I read about these and they certainly are sugar sweet; they might even seduce me away from my black fetishes!

Those are gorgeous.

I’m wanting a pair of proper brown/black ones… though the pastel blue is lovely….

I absolutely adore your new shoes! So beautiful…
This may seem like an odd question, but what size feet do you have? I sometimes feel self-conscious about bulky shoes because I have rather large feet (size 41)

Pretty Face, I’m a 38 and those Church’s shoes do have a long shape so maybe aren’t best for a size 41. Unless you’re tall…?

I’d love to see a pink shoe on the right guy.

I really love the black pair and I wouldn’t mind having a blue pair either. I love the fact that the masculine fashion is made so wearable for women too. Great blog:)

YUM for all the pastels!

I’m in such a black phase at the moment that the pastel shoes don’t quite sit right at the moment. But I love those black and silver ones

Oh I love a brogue and those pale blue ones are fab!

Whoa. Not a brogue girl at all, or a pastel girl either … but somehow the combo is irresistible.

Oh wow. I just saw a pair very similar to these styles on Etsy. I love how its kinda a cross between a brogue and workman boots!
