I was so excited to get home today and find my first pair of Church's waiting on me care of eBay. However, they are narrow (unbeknownst to me at time of purchase) and just don't fit my feet. I thought I'd be able to stretch them out, but they are TIGHT.

However, these shoes are absolutely gorgeous.

The color is a dark burgundy, pretty rich in color and very dark.

The heels and soles are still in good condition and the uppers show almost no wear. On the achilles of one of the shoes the leather is frayed a little bit, but a cobbler might be able to fix it.

I hate to have to give these shoes up, but once they are soled I am definitely going to need to buy some more shoes.

I'll include the pics from the original auction below. If there are any questions I'll be available.

Price is $55 shipped (pretty much what I paid). I'm selling them to try and recoup my money, and will not be making any money.

The creases on the uppers in the pic are not as bad in person, and the color is not red like that, much more dark brown.

should have caught the A/B written on the inside. The 9 1/2 is the UK size.

Yeah so was someone else. Then at the last second I decided to bid. A week later I read the info and knew I was screwed. Oh well. From now on I'm just going to stick to AE's in a bricks and mortar building, so I know they'll fit. I'm just hoping to recoup and get the AE's in a few weeks.

If you can't find a narrow foot here just relist with better pictures and you should do OK. In recent auctions I've seen used Church's (in regular widths) routinely going for over $100 and sometimes over $200.
