CHURCH’S VINTAGE DERBY – BLACK – UK 8.5 – GERRARD - SUPERB CONDITION
A super pair of Custom Grade, three-eyelet plain-front derby shoes in
beautiful black calf leather from Church’s. They are in superb used condition,
overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd
surface mark here and there (see photos). In fact, these shoes are very little
worn at all – I would estimate on two or three occasions – ever !! They are in
their original box.
In my opinion, although modern-day Church’s shoes are still very
desirable, well-made and fashioned from first-class materials, they are not
quite as exceptional as those from some years ago. So, if you can find a pair
of vintage Church’s in really nice condition then you are probably finding some
of the nicest shoes around.
But, please remember, these are not new so do not bid on them if you
want a pair of completely unmarked shoes – they will cost considerably more !!
The style is ‘Gerrard IV’ – an elegant and traditional derby – never
out-of-place. This pair were formed on the 273 Last.
The width fitting is ‘H’ – which is a ‘wide’ width fitting. The actual
measurements are:-
Outer sole (heel to toe) c.
30.3 CM
Width (widest point) c. 10.4
CM
The shoes feature calf leather uppers, lightweight leather / linen
linings, leather soles and all the hand-built quality one would expect from
Church’s.
Wonderful quality shoes from a traditional English shoemaker.
