A lovely example of a Church’s classic. They are in excellent used condition overall - notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos).  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut, 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 !!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe style is ‘Hickstead’ – a classic full-brogue oxford – never out-of-place.
