Church's
Fine English shoes made in Northampton since 1873 Church's .
Until very recently Church's denoted a gentleman.
Alas just as with Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and others this venerable company has been taken over by foreign interlopers. By Spring 2003 the injection moulded soles had set in and what was once solid and English is now slippery and Italian.
Shoes designed before 1999 are still eminently acceptable
