CHURCH’S VINTAGE BROGUES – BROWN - UK 7.5 – DIPLOMAT – EXCELLENT CONDITION
A very fine pair of vintage Custom Grade cap-toe full-brogue oxford shoes in beautiful brown / mahogany (?) calf leather from Church’s – never out-of-place. The shoes are in excellent used condition overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos). The patina on these shoes is super – only time and TLC will achieve it and it is developing very nicely on these vintage shoes.
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.
The width fitting is ‘F’ – which is the ‘standard’ width fitting.
The style is ‘Diplomat’ – a classic Church’s design – never out-of-place; this pair were built on the popular 73 Last.
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.
