Church's Berlin: Product Description The Berlin is an elegant, full-brogue Oxford shoe characterized by its refined wingtip design and intricate decorative perforations (broguing). It is a staple of British footwear, offering a more decorative alternative to the plain cap-toe Oxford while remaining formal enough for business attire. Style: Full Brogue Oxford. Construction: Goodyear Welted (allows for easy resoling and long-term durability). Material: Typically crafted in Nevada Leather (which has a slightly marbled, natural finish) or Polished Binder. Details: Six-eyelet lacing, blind eyelets, and hand-written internal details (size, last, and style name). Origin: Made in Northampton, England. Size: 11.5 UK Last 136: Sizing & Fit Advice The Last 136 is known for its contemporary, elegant silhouette. Compared to Church’s more traditional lasts (like the 173 used for the Consul or Chetwynd), the 136 is slightly more modern and elongated. Key Fit Characteristics: Shape: It features a slightly more tapered and elongated toe box than the classic rounded English lasts. Length: Because of the elongated toe, some wearers find there is extra "air" at the front. However, it is generally considered true to size in terms of where your foot actually sits. Width: Most Church’s shoes come in an 'F' fitting (standard/medium). If you have a particularly wide foot, you may find the 136 a bit snug due to the tapered profile. Recommendation: Standard Fit: Buy your usual Church's / UK size. Narrow/Low Volume Feet: If you are between sizes or have a very thin foot, you might consider going down a half size, as the 136 can feel roomy in the length. Comparison: If you already wear the Church's 173 last, you should typically stay in the same size for the 136, though the 136 will look slightly longer on the foot.
