Manufacturers
The creator of the grinders is the British Boot Co company, which is located in the UK. In 1965, the Grinders brand was founded. The company initially specialized in the traditional Wild One biker boots. These shoes were very popular, which prompted the company to expand production.
Grinders appeared in the early 90s. They looked like the shoes worn by workers in machinery and foundries. In the 21st century, female models began to appear, which in appearance did not differ in any way from male models. Many stars became fans of such heavy shoes, which were amazingly combined with light dresses.
