Goral Footwear Sheffield England

[Shellcord]

Hi just came across this brand and wondered if anyone has heard of them? Made in Sheffield England

They have a YouTube channel that's quite good turning random materials into shoes from towels to basketballs would recommend

I do like these in Horween forest green chromexcel, very different to the norm

Never tried their boots (didn't even know they made boots).
I have one pair of their high top trainers. They were offering maryam leather (horsebutt) which I really like.
Shoes are made very very well (for sneakers), the leather is thinner than the same maryam on viberg boots (which makes sense).
The customer service and overall experience was very good, can't seem to remember anything wrong with the whole process.

I have a pair of Goral Muggs high top sneakers (Rose Anvil collab). Horween uppers and shearling inside. Very well made and very warm for winter. Super comfy. They are a bit bulky though.

I recently got a pair of their sneakers and they are very nice. I kind of swore off sneakers because of the issues with resoling, but they advertise the ability to resole these as they use some kind of stitched construction (of course, you'll likely have to go through them to do it). They offer a wide fit that only opens up the toe box without adding to the heel which is nice for those with duck feet.

Right now they're about to open up pre orders for a boot made with brass wire construction, I believe by William Lennon & Co. Only a few machines in the world can produce these... pretty neat method. https://www.goral-shoes.co.uk/pages/buxton-boot

Be interesting to see if they put a sole like that on any of their production boots in due course. Had a look and they look like quality boots around the same price as a pair of Iron Rangers here. The regular sole isn't so much to my tastes, but if they change that it could be an option in future. I love my Lennons, but I tend to want options other than their standards, and that definitely seems to add to the lead time markedly.
