CHURCH’S DERBY – BROWN / TAN - UK 10 – SHANNON – SUPERB CONDITION
A super (and very rare) pair of Custom Grade derby shoes in beautiful brown / tan calf leather from Church’s – easily dressed-up or dressed-down. They are in superb used condition, overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos). It is very rare to see a pair of Shannon’s in this colourway and in calf (rather than bookbinder) – and off the fabulous 224 Last - quite possibly the only pair you will ever see with this combination of features – gorgeous !
The width fitting is ‘F’ – which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Shannon’ – an elegant and traditional five-eyelet derby. This pair were formed on the gorgeous 224 Last – perfectly suited to the Shannon in my view. This design is still very much part of Church’s current range – though not off this last and not in this finish - and they retail at around the £500 mark.
The shoes feature calf leather uppers, full leather linings, bellows tongues, weather-resistant storm welts, triple leather soles and all the build-quality that one expects from this traditional English shoemaker.
