Church’s”, a brand synonymous with authentic English men’s shoes
First, let’s look at the history of Church, which has been supporting the feet of English gentlemen for nearly 150 years. Thomas Church, who learned shoemaking skills from Stone Church, a shoemaker, opened a small workshop on Maple Street. The brand has continued to create new standards in the shoe industry by creating various concepts that are taken for granted today. For example, in the 19th century, when shoes were straight and there was no distinction between right- and left-footed shoes, Church created shoes that were curved to accommodate the foot and were the first to incorporate “adaptability.
Church’s innovative and functional inventions won a gold medal at a shoe exhibition held in London in 1881, and this led to the creation of the “Adaptable” shoe, which was used not only in London but also in other cities. This led to the company becoming known not only in London but also in other European cities, and it grew to become a brand synonymous with luxury footwear. While focusing on overseas expansion, the company further expanded its scale through the manufacture of military shoes during the war.
Church’s careful shoemaking and its quality are recognized by the British Royal Family.
In 1965, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom visited Church to inspect the factory on St. James Street in Northampton. In 1965, Queen Elizabeth II visited the factory on St. James’s Street in Northampton, and Church was awarded the “Queen’s Award,” the highest honor in the British watchmaking industry, for its achievements in promoting the British brand in overseas markets. Although Church has not been awarded this title, its high quality is proven by the name of “Queen.
Incidentally, Church’s first appearance in Japan was in 1965, when Otsuka Shoes began importing the brand. Since John Lobb and Edward Green first appeared in the Japanese market in the 1980s, many men probably recognized Church as “British shoes,” and learned what traditional men’s shoes were all about through Church’s leather shoes.
