Reasons for the popularity of Church’s “Grafton” (1) “The design of the upper that combines the atmosphere of both English and American shoes.
The Grafton’s design is a full brogue with an external shuttlecock. Full brogue shoes, also known as wingtips, require decorative techniques such as medallions and perforations, and brogue shoes are Church’s forte. It is hard to find another brand that achieves such a high level of quality and perfection.
The toe has a large medallion, and the upper has beautiful perforations. The upper is decorated with beautiful perforations. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of shoes with smaller perforation holes for a more elegant look, but Grafton’s perforation holes are large, indicating that the brand has incorporated country elements into its shoes.

The Grafton is an orthodox English shoe, but it is also a shoe that is often evaluated as having the feel of an American shoe. The reason for this is the placement of the perforations. American-made wingtips, called American full brogue (long wingtip), are characterized by a wing-shaped toe perforation that does not fall at the foot, but extends to the heel, circling the shoe in a circle. The Grafton has perforations around the wings that circle the shoe, although the perforations at the toe fall off at the foot as usual. This unique design gives the shoe the impression of an American shoe, even though it is an English shoe.
The 5-eyelet shuttlecock has a back dovetail for smooth insertion and removal of the laces. The ease of putting on and taking off the shoes is one of the charms of the external shuttlecock style.
