CHURCH'S VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN / TAN - UK 7 – BARCROFT - SUPERB
CONDITION
A super (and very rare) pair of vintage Custom Grade cap-toe quarter-brogue
oxford shoes in beautiful sandalwood bookbinder 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). This pair had a set
of rubber over-soles fitted when new but they have been removed to reveal the
original leather sole underneath.
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 width fitting is ‘F’ - which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Barcroft’ – a very elegant, five-eyelet oxford design
featuring a punched band between the vamps and the toe cap. This is a very rare design to
find - so, you will be very unlucky to ever meet anyone else wearing the same
shoes as you – always a nice feeling, I think. This pair were built on the 84
Last.
The shoes feature leather soles, bookbinder leather uppers and lightweight
leather / linen linings – plus all the build-quality that one expects from this
traditional English shoemaker – gorgeous.
