How do Corthay's fit? I would not mind ordering some, but I am afraid I have no access to a retailer

Church's tend to receive little love around here. Seems a shame considering that they are very well made (gemming notwithstanding, of course).

My new aquisition:

p1010018h.jpg


p1010015pl.jpg

First shoe by a French maker.

Personally I am kind of impressed by the shoes, at least for the price I was paying. I wouldn't have expected the channeled soles, as the pics on the website indicate that they usually have not...

Not sure about the leather quality though. My untrained eye can't spot any differences to my other shoes, but we will see.
