Any thoughts on this shoe? I like it and the allen edmond leeds but prefer the chunkiness of the shannon. Any other ideas? Any complaints about churchs?

I have been buying Church's Custom Grade since 2007 (post-Prada), and they have been great shoes. That is comparing them to C & J, (earlier) Grensons and Cheaney, which I also rate highly for mid-range brands. I can only presume the criticisms directed to the brand in this forum are to the "fashion" and "city" styles - which I must admit look ghastly. Two other comments. First, I find the derbies to be a clunky style. I would always get an Oxford, semi-brogue or a brogue wingtip. Secondly, I would never get polished binder again. I bought two pair before I saw the light. They scuff, they don't take polish well, they have a shorter lifespan, and they look cheap.

The only problem for the OP is that Shannon predominantly comes in Polished Binder and while I agree with you that binder can cheapen the look, the RRP of Shannon is anything but! 425GBP seems to be going price for them at Herring Shoes http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/product-info.php?&brandid=4&shoeid=166 I think it’s a great shoe and as Brummie says they are built like tanks and for me Church's storm welting is much better then say C&J’s. However if you are going to drop 425GBP on a pair if you could stretch by another 100 or so you will get the cordovan or crup version in burgundy (black crup can be MTO for an additional upcharge). Edwards of Manchester have a 20% off offer on Church's this month, you will need a code so you will have to contact them, and currently they have the sandalwood colour Shannon. Discount would bring them down to 340GBP plus shipping. Otherwise keep an eye on Herrings clearance section where black and burgundy colours sometimes get listed.
