Churchs Balmoral Oxford

Church’s Balmoral Oxford

Faijan nyt tarpeettomaksi käyneet pelikengät

Koko 85 G: UK8.5 42.5
Shoe fit: G Regular eli ei F Narrow eikä H Wide
Jalkaterän pituus: 27.3cm

Oma kokoni Church’s -kengissä on 90G eli 43, 27.7cm. Käyttämäni Adidas-koko on 45 1/3

Näihin laitatettiin uutena kumipohjat, joita ei kauaa kengissä pidetty vaan poistatettiin melko tuoreeltaan

Church’s on nykyisin Pradan omistama merkki:
Church’s history can be traced back to 1617, but Church & Co. was officially established in 1873 and still manufactures the finest handmade luxury “English” shoes in its Northampton historical factory. Timeless in aesthetic and exceptional in quality, these handmade shoes are contemporary luxury icons.

Mutta on tärkeää tietää, että nämä ovat ajalta ennen Pradaa 1999-:
Church’s long and storied history is largely, and I think fairly, overshadowed by the perceived decline in quality since their purchase by Prada and shift towards designs defined by sequins, spikes and horrible bookbinder leather. They still make an excellent and classic shoe in models like the Consul, but brand name aside they don’t really hold a candle to Crockett & Jones these days.
