M181, Men's Leather Uniform Shoe with PVC/Nitrile Sole

They are very good, quite roomy compared to Dr M's and a fraction of the price.. The sole etc look very good, to comfortable under foot, the leather is quite stiff, polished before use ( I used a carnauba based polish, miss Kiwi which is petroleum I'm sure that would have been a game changer in making the leather softer) one gripe is the collar of the shoe it digs in a bit as very hard.. cannot complain for price I'm sure they will wear in and become very easy and great value.

Had these shoes for over a year now. 30 years ago I'd have just thought yeah they're shoes, nothing special they do the job. But in todays world it's rare to find a good ordinary shoe that is comfy and hard wearing and doesn't fall to bits after a year. All stuff you used to take for granted. I must be getting old cos I'm so impressed by the fact these shoes do exactly what you require of them and are still like new I'm writing a review a year later to praise them. One of the best things about this particular shoe is you can wear them for work or for formal occasions without them looking out of place. Well done Grafters. I'll defo buy your brand footwear again though it may be a while off haha.

These shoes arrived promptly and in good condition. The quality of the shoes is good. I had ordered a size10. However, the shoes I received were a size 9. Nevertheless, the fit was okay. They're not particularly stylish, but they seem to be holding up quite nicely. I've bought more expensive shoes that didn't last as long. In summary: these are sturdy, good quality shoes that represent good value. I would buy them again.

"I recently purchased these shoes as a more affordable alternative to my worn-out Dr Martens. Despite the lower price, the quality is comparable. However, I did encounter a slight sizing issue. My usual size 10 was a bit too large, so I added an insole to achieve the perfect fit. Overall, I highly recommend these shoes as a reliable and comfortable everyday option."

Great Mens shoes. perfect fit . Clean and comfortable to wear.

...primarily the three hole Denver which, very disappointingly, Grafters seem to have stopped supplying. So, next choice for me is the M181, four hole shoe. Shoe is fine as far as it goes but they are made of (typical Grafters) very stiff leather which takes an age to break in (plus several, expensive, Compeed blister plasters). Not that the Denver was any different, breaking-in wise, but at least they had a very nice, fabric cushioned heel, compared with the M181's sharp leather ridge (photos refer).

Good quality shoes lacies could be a bit longer

Great fit comfortable and being genuine leather inside and out good breathable. Initially a bit squeaky whilst they wear in but again great once worn in. Air cushion soles as good as more recognised brand and at a third of the price, excellent value for money.

Good quality leather. Fits lika a pair of gloves. An excellent buy from a reliable seller.
