CHURCH’S VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN / TAN – GRAFTON – UK 8 – EXCELLENT
CONDITION
A very fine pair of Custom Grade full-brogue derby shoes in beautiful
sandalwood bookbinder leather from Church’s. This is their
iconic ‘Grafton’ design – never out-of-place and a Church’s classic.
The shoes are in excellent used condition overall – notwithstanding a
little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see
photos). This pair have been professionally fitted with brand new ‘Commando’-style
rubber soles and heels and are unworn since then (and a very neat job has been done, I must say).
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 ‘Grafton’ – traditional elegance; a real classic and a
‘must have’ for any gentleman’s wardrobe. This pair were built on the popular
73 Last. This design is still very much part of Church’s current range – and
they retail at around the £1040 mark.
The width fitting is ‘F’ - which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The shoes feature brand new ‘Commando’ rubber soles, weather-resistant
storm welts, bookbinder leather uppers and full leather linings - plus all the
hand-built quality that one expects from this top English shoemaker.
