Church's peccary shoes

[veblenesque]

These are part of a small collection of unworn shoes from a local millionaires estate. I'd be very interested in knowing more about these two pairs of unworn Church's shoes in peccary leather. Vintage? Design? Apparently a peccary is a tiny pig and the leather is remarkably soft. Thanks in advance for the wisdom.

The box certainly looks old. I'd suggest taking heel nail pattern pictures and posting here: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/...tterns-secrets-to-id-the-maker.24109/page-219

These could be from before Prada bought Church's, and quality declined

That soft Peccary leather is sure to crease and fold quickly. I have a pair of Alden loafers in "glove soft leather" that developed deep folds and creases.

That big buckle reminds me of

You can't compare anything Alden ever made to pre-prada Church's peccary footwear. Good peccary gloves start @ $300 and wear like steel. Peccary shoes should also wear well and not fold or crease like soft leather from alden?
