Split toe loafer.  Interesting.  Will swing by their shop and grab a quick look.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

A bit too busy and a bit too clunky. Loafers are supposed to be light. I'm not totally opposed to them - they're passable. At that price I'd want more than passable.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

Not keen on beefroll. I have had them unravel in the past.

I will take 'refined' though even if it can be a bit Roger Moore. Berwick loafers from discount shoes in Strutton Ground. Round about the £100 mark. Look a bit like C & J - made in Spain.

The C&J Boston/Harvard loafers are the same shoe, one is lined the other is not, can't remember which is which.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

The Harvard is the unlined version, yes same last but subtle style differences.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

I had to check them out in flesh first, those Pembury are really ugly.
Way too much stitching involved all round, a fake stitched in 'beefroll' and the split toe looks like it was done by a blind cobbler.

If your going the 'split toe' loafer route and are spending £300+ , the JM Weston and Cheaney are much better options.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

The beefroll on the Church's is strange.


Take my advice- I'm not using it.

Berwick 9628 (in burgundy though)

Shooman, loafers are not gunboats.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

I think of loafers as a decent looking beater shoe so not really looking to spend more than a couple of hundred on them and then Sebago, Bass, Florsheim do the job.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

I saw two Sebago loafer models side-by-side in Tokyo and noticed quite a bit of difference between them, maybe a 50% or more difference in price.

Re: Church's Pembrey Loafer

Sebago have a number of ranges in the same style - handsewn, Cordovan etc

I am about five years in on two pairs of handsewn which are perfect apart needing new soles.
