Like the color, like the simplicity of the upper. Don't like the sole profile, the extreme round toe or the fact that they appear to be gluejobs.

+1 on the sole... for rubber soles, they sure look thin.

That's a "unit" sole--it is entirely synthetic and put on with heat and compression. Actually, it's probably molded into place (and shape) from a molten slurry.

Is there a reason for it?

Well, I could be quite cynical and say that it is a common approach to reducing costs, ridding yourself of highly skilled (and relatively highly paid ) shoemakers/employees, and making the transition to a factory shoe...all the while riding a reputation and a company down to the point that even those who gravitate towards the blatantly superficial recognize the quality is no longer there. I probably won't get any points for adding that "unit soles" are nearly the primary hallmark of cheap. Ask yourself one question...how will you ever repair them when you wear out the sole? Who could do it both credibly...and willingly? To do it right, you would certainly need the original last and the huge 10+ workstation machine that applies these soles. Even to simply skin off the top couple of millimeters with the intention of cementing on another layer, generally requires very toxic cements not readily available, or in very much favour, here in the States.

Dear all,

I bought another pair of church shoes... unfortunately I had many many problems due to their quality and CHURCH is not supporting in any way.

I brought my sohoes back ti the Churck store and they gave me those back after 2 months with the same problem...

SInce that moment I m still trying to get support from CHurch UK but without any success...

Did anyone of you have any similar experience? what have you done?

Please help me!!!
