Church’s King Royal Calf Leather whole cut black Oxfords 9.5 England

Church’s King Royal Calf Leather whole cut black Oxfords. The most formal style of men’s shoe and often worn with black tie, “whole cut” means the entire upper was made from a single piece of leather. The flagship of Church’s top-end Royal line, the King is the most expensive shoe the company makes, retailing for $1,320 on their U.S. website. Made in England.

Features, as described by Church’s:
• One piece whole cut lace-up oxford
• Calf leather with natural finish
• Blind eyelets
• Last 165
• Internal lining for comfort and longevity of wear
• Handwritten shoe info to lining
• Goodyear in channel construction
• Church’s crest to sock and sole

It’s somewhat difficult to tell from the photos, so I wanted to note that the shoes are not patent leather, but rather have a natural finish. They appear to have been worn perhaps two or three times, with no stains, scuffs or other visible wear — a truly stunning pair of high-end English shoes. The shoes come in their original box, with Church’s shoe trees (normally $120) and branded shoe horn.

Size is 9.5D U.S. Total length is 12.25". Heel is about 1". Width at widest part of sole is 4.25"
