JOSEPH CHEANEY VINTAGE DERBY – BLACK – UK 9.5 – GRANTHAM– EXCELLENT CONDITION
A very fine pair of vintage Joseph Cheaney three-eyelet, plain-front derby shoes in beautiful black calf leather. 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 have been professionally fitted with rubber over-soles at some point.
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 Cheaneys 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 ‘Grantham’ - a traditional three -eyelet derby – never out-of-place.
The shoes feature leather soles (with rubber over-soles), calf leather uppers and lightweight leather / linen linings.
Top quality from this traditional English shoemaker.
