Attraction of Church “Chetwynd” (6) “Outsole that embodies the philosophy of the brand
Speaking of Church’s leather soles, the “open channel,” which does not hide the threads of the Goodyear welt method, is the standard. Many high-end dress shoe brands use the “Hidden Channel,” but Church’s style is not to seek “more ornamentation than is necessary for the function of the shoe. However, Church’s style is not to seek for “more decoration than necessary without any relation to function.” No matter how beautifully finished the Hidden Channel or oak bark (tanned sole made from oak tree bark) is, it will get dirty and scuffed after walking on asphalt several times. Of course, it is an artisan’s aesthetic to finish even the parts that cannot be seen like a work of art, but a rugged outsole like Chetwynd’s also shows a chic workmanship that adheres to a man’s aesthetic.
