Product Specifications: Brand: Church’s Model: Chicago (Double Monk Strap Brogue) Style Number: EOB013 Last: 136 Color: Black Material: Natural Calf Leather Sole: Goodyear Welted Dainite sole Origin: Made in England Size: 8.5 UK Condition: Brand new Sizing Advice: Last 136 The 136 Last is one of Church’s more contemporary and elegant silhouettes. Here is what you should know regarding the fit: Shape: It features a slightly elongated, tapered toe compared to the classic, rounder 173 last. This gives the shoe a more modern, "sharp" aesthetic. Fit: Despite the slimmer appearance, it generally fits true to size for Church's standard "F" fitting. Recommendation: If you usually wear a UK 10.5 in other English heritage brands (like Crockett & Jones or Cheaney), these should fit perfectly. If you have a particularly high instep, the double monk straps offer some adjustability, but the 136 last is best suited for those who prefer a streamlined, secure feel through the waist and heel.
