out of this options, definitely the churchs. something from a viennese maker otherwise. better fit for me and woodpegged - so no sole issue either.

This pair goes out to all vintage Appreciation enthusiasts: NOS Johnston&Murphy shell cordovan tassel loafers. Slim soles, hand-sewn apron, aggressively chiseled toe and a plump heel cup. Around 30 years old and kicking.

Why do you think the Church's are a better option? You know , even I occasionally get brainwashed with all this EG is the best stuff in SF; so even the great church's defender harbors doubts on this.

Please give me something to put those thoughts to rest....

although, i never owned a churchs, there is a sentimental connection to this brand. imo, they are more real and classic.

It's interesting to endorse a product one has never actually used...


That said, I own a couple of pairs of Church's, and all are built to last. I went to a wedding in Maine, and it rained for 5 straight days. I wore my Graftons for 16 hours per day on each day, with the only care being they slept in trees.

The polished binder (which is great for rain) did not crease extra at all and stayed mark free. The soles handled all the wet like a champ.

Fritzl, I am afraid I have to side with 'iswhatever' on this one. Your argument for me buying church's is weak ( god, cant believe i am saying this)

If I was of a cynical disposition-which of course is not the case- I would be inclined to believe that you are displaying an anti-EG bias because they compete with your Viennese masterpieces.

So I am afraid you have not been of much help here, (to me anyway)
