Church’s Oban: The Sophisticated Leather Fisherman Mule The Church’s Oban is a refined interpretation of the traditional fisherman sandal, reimagined as an effortless, open-back mule. It combines the heritage craftsmanship of Northampton-based shoemaking with a contemporary, relaxed silhouette perfect for warm-weather elegance. Product Overview Style: Caged Fisherman Slide / Mule Material: Premium Calf Leather (typically available in Black or Ebony) Sole: 100% Genuine Leather with a low stacked heel Origin: Expertly crafted in Italy or England Size: 6 UK Design Details The Upper: Features a classic "caged" construction with wide, interlocking leather straps that offer superior coverage and foot stability while remaining breathable.
