CHURCH’S VINTAGE BROGUES - BLACK – UK 7 – LEGATE – EXCELLENT CONDITION
A super pair of vintage Custom Grade cap-toe semi-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 (see photos). This pair were professionally fitted with rubber over-soles when they were new and these have been removed to reveal the original (unworn) lkeather soles beneath.
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 width fitting is ‘F’ – which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Legate’ – a beautifully proportioned oxford semi-brogue and one of Church’s best known designs. This pair were formed on the popular 73 Last.
The shoes feature leather soles, bookbinder leather uppers, lightweight leather / linen linings and super build-quality.
