Factory Tour and Interview with Martin Grey, Head of Retail at Cheaney Shoes - The World of Shoes

[@vinceconn1935]

I live in Desborough and I am lucky enough to have 7 pairs of Cheaney shoes/boots, they wear well and look good with either a suit or smart casual and will last for years far exceeding the value paid initially. Well Done Cheaney.

[@davesheppard8797]

Hi Vince, I wear Cheaney shoes after buying 2 pairs of Church's. Both pairs were expensive and not of particularly good quality. They aren't very comfortable either. With Cheaney, they feel comfortable from the off. Yes, you know they are new shoes but they feel much more like they were actually made for my feet like a bespoke pair would be. I have just got out my Brixworth Balmoral boots to wear tomorrow. They are no longer made but remind me of Victorian Gentleman's boots. Dave.

I spoke to Martin today and can say he is a true gentleman, I have been a CHEANEY fan for many years.

[@american_psycho1147]

Martin Grey talking and sharing his passion for Cheaney is what got me to get myself a pair

[@4exgold]

I doubt just anyone could do this job as well as Martin. He exudes both charisma and a great passion for his profession that is a rarity these days.

[@dann3410]

One word: quality. All Cheaney employees should be very proud, they earned it.

[@jockmchaggis6797]

What a guy, exudes charm and is completely passionate about the products the company manufactures. Please more interviews with Martin, there isn't enough people like him left unfortunately. P.s. Just ordered some Cheaney Hurricane R boots today... Can't wait!

[@jmsheyworth]

CHEANEY FOR LIFE!! MARTIN GREY FOR PRIME MINISTER!!

[@devonreally3966]

Never bought a bad pair of Cheaney shoes. Never had to replace either. Best quality British made.

[@JefferyHunt]

I love that the soundtrack is totally a tribute to Mr. Rogers’ factory tour picture picture videos.

[@jaslint6252]

I hope Mr Grey never retires. May God bless him with good health always!

[@darlenevm]

Great discussion with Martin. Thank you for the video!

[@theworldofshoes3340]

[@michaelprarie5117]

[@rful3981]

[@shaun5944]

Just the man I would like to buy a good pair of shoes and boots from. Very professional Martin 👍🇬🇧

[@dfwboxingisback9173]

Fantastic voice!

[@1220LOUIE]

It’s a shame that Al Bundy never reached his heights in the shoe business.

[@cityhawk]

If you were selling cheap shoes, making minimum wage, to some incredibly morbid, homely women, let’s see how motivated you’d be. 😛

[@christschinwon]

@@cityhawk Then go home to Peggy. That's a fair point!

[@Rayshader]

Cheaney shoes are superb. Period!

[@MrBackoftheface]

Wait did he say there's no light or heat at the factory?

[@MrBackoftheface]

I want to meet this man and shake his hand. I might even buy some shoes.

[@jingguo4875]

Chris Smith i have met once and shake his hand.

[@sibby84]

I just love this man

[@brian9670]

Now that I have my shoes...off to T.M Lewin to get my navy suit for war.

[@airborneSGT]

For the well established Gentleman

[@hannespunk]

I have one pair of Cheaney Shoes.Really Great to Wear.

[@MrRazorblade999]

What a pro. Love it.

[@janheard3826]

Love the classy British accent.

[@brianbrinkman7964]

“The shoe trade has been very kind to me.” Polite way of saying, “I’m humble and I’ll help you try on shoes, but make no mistake, I run this bitch.”

[@sectormentor6265]

Inspiring!

[@generalzod7959]

Martin grey is the king of shoes.

[@carlosroberto366]

which store is he located at often?

[@williamwallace2278]

I have four pairs. Love my Cheaneys

[@jamieshannon9809]

William Wallace Only 4 - it's about time you got another pair.

[@williamwoolhouse3702]

I am now on my 12th pair of J.Cheaney's.I have just bought a pair if Black Oxford's (Lime) from their factory shop in Desborough for £170.A bargain !!!

[@rful3981]

Thanks mister Gray!

[@pandaoneproductionsd9765]

Great flow

[@McElhinney65]

Cheaney are on a par with the Northampton made Loake 1880 range. I'm less struck with Church and Barker.

[@senoina]

we dont have the heat the light the showers hahaha

[@sentameier9795]

Aaaaah, ASMR Heaven.

[@wawalisko]

Paying fair price means receive a great product and people who work and made it earn a good salary. Thats why it is an imperative spend in one good priduct, fabricated in countries where dont explote people… i bought 2 pair of boots in a month because i am absolutey happy with the first boots (trafalgar) and waiting for the Chelsea boots…. I never see such quality before…

[@johnmacward]

Good to know that their factory has no heat or light for the workers.... I think he meant to say something else.

[@petesmitt]

2:38 'renumeration'; pedant here; it's remuneration..

[@brettneuberger6466]

No light or heat? Hmmm. Sure hope they pay well.

[@RemyVorender]

Why did he say his factory doesn't have light/heat? Do they work in cold darkness at Cheaney? lol

[@steviezxr]

My friends 2 month old Cheaneys have just lost a heel.

[@InFltSvc]

This will soon be a lost art

[@shadow-Sun]

its a pityCheaneys e commerce is run like an old ladies knitting circle seems to be run part time by amatuers the returns and refund procedure is exeedingly slow in this day and age and the communication is ...well maybe by carrier pigeon ? because they certainly do not keep their customers informed by any means as to having received a return or aknowledge a timescale for a replacement or refund . Cheaney makes a good product and it trades very much so on it history and heritage but it seems the 21st century way of tarding via e commerce and e mail etc etc is very very low on its list of priorites , such a shame but it has a long way to go to catch up to even a good E Bay seller let alone an industry leader like M& S or John Lewis in that arena .

[@rful3981]

Grey of course, sorry.

[@alexanderverovskiy2945]

Why their factory interiors and machines look like 100 year old and never cleaned? I would not purchase any of such shoes knowing workers do their job in a dirty and perhaps unsafe environment.

[@ANGELSURS]

Relax bud

[@soultraveller5027]

That right Bel end it's working environment lol✌️😂
