A lovely birthday gift from Mrs Boris

Lovely indeed. Happy Birthday, Amnon!

They look great ... enjoy wearing them.


Happy Birthday, A. The shoes are very nice. I've never heard of this brand before, but they look great.

It is a family owned business that can only be found in one store in Milan. Ron Rider was kind enough to suggest them. All of the shoes are blake/rapid and absolutely lovely. I wanted to leave with four pairs.

They look great - care to say why the brand is your favourite? serious question - I have never handled Church's (Church's and not Cheaney right?) and I know they have v loyal following if not here. thx

Why I love Church's?

My first job was at Foot Locker in Hong Kong. There was an Italian man who came to our shop a few times in a year to buy Nike Air Max for his son because they have the same foot size. This gentleman was a shoes manufacturer in Italy supplying mid price range ladies footwear to a big chain store in Hong Kong.

One time I helped him out. When he took off his dressed shoes I saw "Church's". Then I thought: this guy is an Italian making shoes in Italy but he still wore English shoes. Then there must be something about this brand. So I checked out the Church's shops in Hong Kong and found they were expensive.

I managed to save money for my first pair of Church's and then felt in love with it. After joining this forum, I turned my eyes to the SF influenced - Crockett & Jones. Well, I do own a few pairs so I can compare. Still prefer Church's to other brands.

Of course, this is very very very subjective.

Everyone has his/her own choice.

!! thanks for sharing, nice story .. I've heard elsewhere too that Italian men are partial to classic English shoes.

This is a plague!!
