Church’s Patent Burwood Wingtip Brogues

Church

That rich chocolate brown colour for the patent leather is certainly an eye-catcher, with the shoe finished with the decorative brogue perforations and topped off with a leather sole.

£355 is the hefty asking price, but look after them and these timeless gems should serve you well for many years.
