An iconic and quintessential formal shoe, the Consul Oxford lace-up has been enhanced with innovative, flexible Goodyear construction developed by Church's skilled artisans in Northampton. This addition brings new softness and comfort to the shoe while maintaining the traditional craftsmanship's strength and durability. Worn by the English aristocracy since 1945, the design pays homage to ambassadors, politicians, and gentlemen who contributed to its fame. A staple in Church's collections thanks to its understated elegance and essential cap toe design, the style is here presented in soft suede, offering a refined yet casually elegant appearance.
