CHURCH'S VINTAGE DERBY – BROWN / TAN – UK 8 – CROMARTY - EXCELLENT CONDITION
A super (and rare) pair of vintage four-eyelet, plain–front town-and-country
derby shoes in brown / tan grained Ranch Oxhide leather from Church. They are
in excellent used condition, overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across
the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos).
In my opinion, although modern-day Church 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 width fitting is ‘E’ - which is the ‘narrower’ width fitting. This
pair were built on the 81 Last (as used for most of Church’s well-known
‘Burwood’ shoes).
The style is ‘Cromarty’ – very versatile and beautifully proportioned.
This is a very rare design to find, so you will be most unlikely to ever meet
anyone else wearing the same shoes as you - always a nice feeling, I think.
The shoes feature grained Ranch Oxhide leather uppers, full leather
linings, leather soles (with non-slip rubber over-soles) and all the hand-built
quality one would expect from Church.
Wonderful quality shoes from a traditional English shoemaker.
