Continuing the tradition that has been established since the days “when men left off going barefoot”, Church’s, the Northampton high-quality men’s shoe manufacturer, has put together an incredibly solid A/W 2011 collection, featuring the innovative Goodyear Welted construction technology.
Part of the legendary Prada network, Church’s has been constructing shoes in Northampton since the late 19th century, ideally situated in what is the men’s shoe capital of England, ever since the questionably famous Oliver Cromwell placed a large order of expertly developed boots for his army back in 1642. The family run operation quickly exploded from a simple craft workshop to an internationally renowned cobbler, eventually earning the prestigious Queen’s award for exports and solidifying themselves as a world-wide standard for excellence in hand crafted men’s shoes.
The A/W 2011 line from Church’s is no exception to their storied history, taking cues from the past in both style and function while always keeping an eye towards the future. The complicated Goodyear Welting construction process allows for extremely comfortable shoes, as well as a more easily accessible sole when repairs are necessary. Although don’t except to have these shoes in the shop too often, as the Goodyear Welting provides for one reliable boot at a time. The collection features a range of classic shoe styles, mixing sturdy boots with sleek loafers to create a well balanced offering. Of course, all of the shoes are hand-crafted from the finest leather, fostering a experience unique for every man’s foot.
