Grenson Bleasdale or Tricker`s Grasmere

[tm1210]

II've been after a new pair of boots for a while now and have gotten it down to either the Tricker's or the Grenson's. Can't decide between the two. Anyone own either of the two or have any opinions? I sort of leaning towards the Grenson's.

I agree. I also like the Grenson. They look a bit more substantial, which is nice with a boot. I was expecting to like the Trickers before I clicked on the link. I guess I was expecting the wingtip boot by Trickers. Have you considered something like these?:

They're nice but I'm after some rubber soles.
