JOSEPH CHEANEY VINTAGE DERBY – BLACK - UK 7.5 – RYE – EXCELLENT CONDITION
A very fine, vintage pair of Joseph Cheaney three-eyelet, plain-front derby shoes in beautiful black calf leather – never out-of-place. They 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 ‘Vibram’ rubber soles and are unworn since.
In my opinion, although modern-day Cheaney 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 Cheaney’s in really nice condition then you are probably finding some of the nicest shoes around.
The width fitting is ‘G’ - which is the ‘wider-than-standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Rye’ - a traditional three-eyelet derby – never out-of-place and easily dressed-up or dressed-down.
The shoes feature leather soles, calf leather uppers and lightweight leather / linen linings.
Top quality from this traditional English shoemaker.
