Church ” Lambourne ” recommends that you choose a size that is comfortable to wear.
For Church’s other dress shoes and shoes made by other shoe brands, the Goodyear-welted leather shoes are usually true to size or tight-fitting. In the case of Goodyear-welted shoes, the cork that fills the gap between the inner sole and the main sole (outsole) sinks as the wearer wears the shoe, so the shoe adapts to the shape of the wearer’s foot, and at the same time, if it is too big, the shoe will fit about half a size larger. The Lambourne, which uses Church’s #103 last, has a larger discarded dimension at the toe than other models. Furthermore, in the case of the Lambourne, the footwear is set deeper, which gives a sense of hold and stability to the wearer.

When choosing a Church’s Lambourne, the position of the belt hole on the monk strap is also important, in addition to the general shoe selection requirements, such as a foot length that does not touch the toes and the cuff that does not touch the outer ankle. By choosing a size that allows you to feel a slight pressure on the instep when the buckle is inserted in the middle hole of the three belt holes in a row, you can maintain a comfortable size even if the cork sinks in and the leather of the upper becomes familiar with the shoe. Even if the shoes should feel loose, the belt loop on the innermost part of the shoe will hold the instep in place.
