I have heard they have been experiencing problems with their MTO program in regards to delivery times, and quality control recently. This is just MTO and not RTW. I hope they sort it out soon.

I'll weigh in I have about 10 or more pair of Churchs. A few Aussie boots and a few Bally and Magli's thrown in. Sorry the photo quality is not great on my old iphone, the brogues are good for a laugh and the mustard colour ones are custom made Hippo skin Church's. No I did not order them new they are vintage and very cool.
The other brown brogues are Floris Van Bommel from the Netherlands a small bootmaker dating back over 200 years every bit as lovely as Church's and others.

It looks like a very nice collection of shoes. It's too bad the photo isn't just a bit better.

No one with Shell Cordovan shoes or boots? Or is that never used in British shoes?

Ditto Steve, my daily clogs are Church's Grafton Brogues. Quite a heavyweight, but classic design, built like a tank

Decision was pretty simple, the EGs won out.
Let the MTO wait begin. Jan or Feb of next year.

Blue Suede Shoes
English made (Peal & Co) Brooks Brothers. I've been looking and comparing, finally decided I liked these best.

Not to venture from the British made focus, but blue suede shoes are right up my alley...
Here are my AE Spiaggia's which I happen to be wearing today. Extremely comfortable and also on sale right now.

Alfred Sargent Moore in Cherry on the 724 Last
Even better than usual as A Fine Pair of Shoes currently has these on sale. Reg £393.00 Sale £300.00 (Ex.VAT: £250.00) http://www.afinepairofshoes.com/coll...e-moore-cherry By the way these pictures from their website really don't do the shoe much justice, they look alot better than depicted here.

I've been on a bit of a Alfred Sargent kick lately. However here is a pair of boots that I knew I wanted when I first saw them over 6 months ago. The fact that they used Cognac Shell and a Pebble Shaft didn't hurt either. So when I had the chance to get a pair of these Alfred Sargent Millers I jumped at the chance.

My latest, C&J - Highbury - the ones Daniel Craig wears in Skyfall (I didn't know this until after I bought them).
They are so comfortable to walk in I will probably get another two pairs.

Very sharp, I also like how these come with the Dainite sole.

[QUOTE=daveathall;4328567]Don't know what your point was mate, but these were made in England.
Was simply stating that Loake also make shoes in India, as i know people have bought Loake thinking they were UK made only to find out the particular shoe they had was Indian made, hence why i said the knowledgeable part |

The shoe trees I got recently are not so fancy, 6 quid and I think I'll need a new pair within a year, but I'll get some proper ones then. |
