Church's Appreciation Thread

[Mr Knightley]

Last evening was the first cool one for some time, allowing me to do what (some) Englishmen have done for generations - change into a pair of fine slippers when I got home

I will get a pair of quality slippers at some point in the near future. It will happen.

[Mr Knightley]

so nice

Thank you, sir!

Last evening:

Church's Ajax 03 in (unusual) brown

I love the quality of Church’s. This pair is about nine years old with a fresh polish.

These Ryder’s with crepe soles, felt really good when I was on my feet all day today.

 

[letsgofire]

+1 for the shoes and also +1 for the socks. Where are they from?

I can’t remember what maker these are from. Got them a few years ago from NM.

 

[letsgofire]

Fresh from the shoeshine guy at O’Hare. I think these are from 2011.

Anybody have shoes from the crown collection?

Sharing a newly taken pic of the Northwood, a nice split-toe derby which I acquired second hand last year. Made in 2013 or 2014. I was lucky they actually came to be my best fitting shoe compared to my other pairs from Magnanni, Loake 1880 and Yanko. Leather seemed to shine well with Saphir. Now considering getting a recraft for new soles and to fix some stitching though

What do you think of the Northwood? Is the Church's official recraft service any good?

Lovely!

Church's refurbishment service has done me very well, except on one occasion, which I have previously reported here or elsewhere. In short, Church's 'damaged' my Diplomats while giving them their second refurb. After some toing and froing the shop that sent them to Church's managed to secure a new pair for the cost of the refurbishment (then about £80).

My last pair to be refurbished were the Lingfield:

They even gave you the refurbished stamp. That’s a nice touch.
