JOSEPH CHEANEY VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN / TAN - UK 8 – KENNET – VERY GOOD CONDITION
A fine pair of vintage, semi-brogue derby shoes in grained calf leather from Joseph Cheaney. They are in very good used condition, overall – notwithstanding some creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos) - but, then again, who wants a pair of town and country shoes that look as if you’ve just bought ‘em ?! - it’d be like wearing shiny wellies or a glossy waxed jacket.
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.
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 ‘Kennet III’ – a traditional full-brogue derby.
The width fitting is ‘F’ - which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The shoes feature grained calf leather uppers, lightweight leather / linen linings and leather soles.
Wonderful quality shoes from a traditional English shoemaker.
