About the brand

Church's is a legendary British luxury footwear manufacturer with roots tracing back to 1617, when Anthony Church began handcrafting shoes in Northampton, England. The brand as we know it today was formally established in 1873 by Thomas Church, who transformed the family business into a global icon. Renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, each pair of Church's shoes undergoes approximately 270 meticulous steps over eight weeks of production. The brand pioneered innovations like the first right and left shoes in the 1880s and maintains traditional Goodyear welting construction for durability and resoling capability. Acquired by Prada Group in 1999, Church's continues to embody quintessentially English elegance while expanding internationally. The brand has achieved cultural prominence through appearances in James Bond films and received the Queen's Award to Industry. Today, Church's operates 62 retail stores globally while maintaining its manufacturing heritage in Northampton, creating timeless footwear that represents the pinnacle of British shoemaking tradition.

What people are saying

Luxury London

Rendered in a polished burgundy leather, the Gateshead loafer is a modern take on the classic style thanks to pared-back detailing and a streamlined silhouette.

Despite their fashion focus, Church's can still make really good shoes when they want to. They are very comparable to Gaziano & Girling or Crockett & Jones Handgrade in terms of quality and styling.

The break-in period was almost nonexistent and they felt great on the first wear.

The Church's are in bookbinder but feel exceptionally well built. The insole actually feels better than the other pair of mint condition post Prada consuls that I have. It has a very soft and comfortable cushion.

These Oxford brogues from Church's are a modern day classic. The rich detailing, rounded toe and sleek silhouette lends them a distinctive character and makes them a sophisticated choice to team with sharp tailoring.

Church's is a luxury British shoe brand that uses some of the best leather we've ever come in contact with. The shoes are gorgeous, plain and simple... They're very expensive—upwards of $1,000—but we can't think of a better place to put that money.

I picked up this pair of vintage Highgrove's from Church's, and I must say that I am very pleased with them. They're barely worn, and although they've been worn a few times they still feel like they have to be broken in. I got them for €200, which is a bargain compared to the retail price...

Church's Pamington Oxford Shoes are some of the best on the market: a premium pair made from buttery soft leather designed by a brand with almost two centuries' worth of knowledge behind them.

The VOU

Traditional English shoemakers like Church's, Crockett & Jones, and Edward Green set the standard for the Old Money style. These heritage brands embody timeless elegance with their exceptional craftsmanship and classic designs.

Now owned by the Prada Group, Church's combines classic English craftsmanship with a slightly fashion-forward touch. Their iconic Consul and Diplomat Oxfords are known for their sleek design, high-gloss finish and enduring build.

Church's is quickly establishing itself as a heritage shoemaker pushing the boundaries in men's footwear.

The photos attached are in descending order of price: Church's McFarlane (£1070); Crockett & Jones Islay (£655 for the Scotch grain); Tricker's Malton (£585); Cheaney Tweed (£525). I'd say all of these are equivalent quality...
