Christmas gifts sort themselves naturally into a hierarchy. There are gifts you received decades ago which will be strong in your memory forever and, on the other hand, there are gifts you received just last year which have already been forgotten. It’s harsh but true.
The key to hitting the top-tier of gifting is copping something with a real lifespan. Who could forget about a gift when it’s on their feet for the rest of their lives? That’s why Church's shoes are a god-tier Christmas gift.
From suede slippers to perfectly constructed Oxford shoes, the Church's collection has a style for everybody this Christmas. To prove it, we’ve rounded up our top 10 Church's shoes for Christmas gifting.
Whether you’re looking for something bold and contemporary like the color-blocked Grafton 173 or the unorthodox Jason 03, or if you’re on the hunt for heritage classics like the Duke or Kingsley 2, look no further.
Shop out our top ten Church's shoes for Christmas below.
Edelweiss
Highly utilitarian yet built like a work of art, Edelweiss is a distillation of Church's expertise.
Coalport 2
Standing on top of a rugged outsole, Coalport 2 is part of the outdoors section of Church's offering. City streets and muddy trails are all well within this pair's limits.
Pembrey 5
Church's is famed for its classic loafers but the Pembrey 5 puts a more contemporary spin on the specialty with a chunky sole unit.
Kingsley 2
If your lucky gift recipient prefers a touch of tradition, though, you can't beat the Kingsley 2 in polished binder leather.
Grafton 173
The Grafton 173 is a remarkable design. It's a perfect example of how a heritage label can bring a traditional silhouette into the modern day. Faded, color-blocked leather panels come together for a shoe that's full of preppy energy.
Shannon T
An immaculate one-piece leather upper sets a refined tone for Shannon T, but the Commando sole unit speaks of a different world altogether. Perfect contrast.
Cowes 173
The monkstrap Oxford is a divisive shoe but Cowes 173 shows how it looks when it's done properly. Matte leather offers a subtle finish to the design.
Duke
Duke is used to being in charge. He's perfectly put together at all times: never overdressed but certainly never underdressed and always quietly confident.
Sovereign Rose
Sovereign Rose is a departure from the primed leather uppers that Church's is known for. Black velvet sets the foundation for a burst of color to the toebox courtesy of the rose motif.
Jason 03
Jason 03 lifts inspiration from Greek slippers. Updating the style with luxury materials and a sole unit that allows outside wear, it's a real standout fixture of the Church's collection.
