Church's Last 73's from Herrings - Page 2

I have just received one of the last pairs of Piccadilly on offer from Herring's sales. They are from the 73 last and they do have the "Custom Grade" mention on the soles. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to order these.

Thanks for the information found on this thread.

Is Leather man still posting? He certainly knew his stuff regarding Church;s shoes.

As a long time Church's owner I can certainly attest to the inferior quality of the (especially later) last 73 range, most specifically to the ones that don't say "custom grade". If you were lucky enough to get a custom grade version of the 73, it is going to be a decent shoe; the others are not a bargain--they are what you are paying for. I would stick to the standard custom grade range and even avoid the lower priced city range which also are inferior IMO.

Have the Picadiily been discontinued? They don't seem to be displayed on Church's website as part of their current collection.
