Church’s Dubai – Polished Binder Calf Oxford (Last 136) The Church’s Dubai is a sophisticated cap-toe Oxford that blends heritage craftsmanship with a sharp, modern aesthetic. This version is crafted in Church’s signature Polished Binder leather, known for its deep luster and exceptional durability. Key Features Polished Binder Leather: A high-quality calf leather treated with a specialized finish to achieve a mirror-like shine. It is highly resistant to water, stains, and creasing, requiring minimal maintenance to look its best. 136 Last – Modern Silhouette: Featuring a contemporary, elongated shape with a tapered toe. It offers a sleeker look compared to traditional round-toe Oxfords. Size: 10 UK Leather & Rubber Hybrid Sole: As shown in the images, this pair features a premium Goodyear-welted leather sole with a factory-integrated rubber grip for enhanced traction and longevity. Handcrafted in England: Made in Northampton using traditional Goodyear welt construction, allowing the shoes to be resoldered and enjoyed for a lifetime. Refined Detailing: Classic five-eyelet closed lacing, tonal stitching, and full leather lining for superior breathability. Sizing Advice: Last 136 Important: The 136 last is known for its generous fit. Due to its elongated toe box and modern proportions, this model runs large. Recommendation: Most wearers find they need to size down by a half size (0.5 UK) compared to their standard size or other Church’s lasts (like the 173). Fit Profile: While the silhouette is slim, the internal volume is spacious. Sizing down ensures the foot remains secure without excessive "dead space" at the front of the shoe. Care Instructions Thanks to the Polished Binder finish, these shoes are incredibly easy to maintain. Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth and buff to restore the shine. Always store them with cedar shoe trees to preserve the elongated shape of the 136 last and prevent vamp creasing. #exclusive_april2026
