JOSEPH CHEANEY VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN - UK 8 – FARNHAM – UNWORN CONDITION
A super (and very rare) vintage pair of full-brogue oxford shoes in beautiful brown calf leather from Joseph Cheaney. A superb example of a Cheaney classic. They are in immaculate used condition, overall (see photos) – I have listed them as ‘used’ because they may have been tried-on – but I don’t think that they actually have been.
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 style is ‘Farnham II’ – beautifully proportioned and a very rare design to find; you will be very unlucky to meet anyone else wearing the same shoes as you – always a nice feeling, I think.
The width fitting is ‘E’ – which is the ‘narrower-than-standard’ width fitting.
The shoes feature leather soles, calf leather uppers, lightweight leather / linen linings and all the build-quality that one expects from this traditional English shoemaker.
