Brogues - counsel sought

[chandelle]

Hi all,

I wish to buy myself a wingtip brogue and am torn between the C&J Finsbury and Church's Chetwynd, and could do with all the suggestions I can get, especially from those who've owned either or both these models. The former costs about USD 50 more but that's not insurmountable.

Cheers and thanks in advance

Have the Finsbury, bought in the sale a few years ago and are a good pair of shoes.

I personally don't like Churches, in particular the width of the welt and so have never owned any of their shoes. Anecdotally others have said that C&J are better quality than Churches but Im in no position to confirm or deny it.
