CHURCH’S VINTAGE BROGUES – BLACK - UK 11 – BURWOOD – EXCELLENT CONDITION
A very fine, vintage pair of Custom Grade full-brogue oxford shoes in beautiful black bookbinder leather from Church’s. They are in excellent used condition overall - notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there – including some scrapes at the heels just above the welt line – though not very noticeable from above, they are there (see photos).
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.
The width fitting is ‘F’ – which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Burwood’ – an iconic full-brogue design and one of Church’s best known shoes. This pair were formed on the 81 Last. This design is still very much part of Church’s current range – and they retail at around the £750 mark.
The shoes feature bookbinder leather uppers, lightweight leather / linen linings, leather soles and all the build-quality that one expects from this traditional English shoemaker.
