I spoke with the manager of the Church's shop in Burlington Arcade, London who said if anyone is still interested to contact Tim Boorman to enquire on warehouse stock.

Hi mate, the manager said you'd have to enquire but he thinks a price of about £420 for a pair.

So still about the price when they were in production - least the haven't gone up

The Ryder 3's have though, £300 now

The remaining Philips stock are £445, so they have gone up a bit. The last of these shoes are coming from the Milan store. The man to speak with now at the Jermyn Street Church's is James. He helped facilitate getting me a pair in my size. 007 and a half, thanks for posting this info. I've been wanting a pair of these shoes for some time now.

Kind regards,
Craig

Milan store to UK? Is there tax?

DBS · March 2010

No tax or VAT, unless they're including that in the £445 pricetag. But I asked James what the cost was before telling him if/where I wanted them shipped, and he quoted me the above rate. I didn't ask if these shoes were made in Milan or just shipped there from the UK, but I do believe I read that many of Church's shoes are being made in Italy, now that Prada owns them. Again, that's the info I read recently, but someone can correct me if I'm mistaken.

I received my Philip shoes last week and thought I'd post a pic of them. They are stunning shoes and incredibly comfortable!

Kind regards,

I guess they are either made in Italy or UK for that price, but it's not because Prada owns it. In fact, I have always loved Prada but they are a huge debt now and they are trying to cut corners. I bought a 400$ pair of jeans and they were made in Romania. I think that's cheap. Even 200$ Nudie Jeans are made in Italy, so double that price?

Wow, your shoes are simply perfect. The leather looks so nice, inside and outside, the shape is special yet classic, I love them. And you always seem to have such nice pictures. I remember a picture of your Prada belt and it was very well done. You're very good with pictures.

Are they true to size?

DBS · April 2010

Thanks for the compliments, Bruno.

All of the Bond related items I've been fortunate enough to pick up are impeccably crafted, so I try my best to capture some of that in my pics. Plus, I want to be able to show members here what these items really look like, in case anyone is on the fence about style, color, etc. and needs something to tip the scales.

To answer your question, yes, they are definitely true to size. James at Church's said he knows these shoes particularly well and confirmed they run very true to size.

Also, 007 and a half, thanks again for the contact info for these shoes! I wouldn't have been able to get these without your post.

Kind regards,
Craig

Hi Craig,

Glad I could help and I thank you for your appreciation on the info.

Unfortunately Church's have definitely finished the run of Philips, and there are no pairs worldwide available. And Herring Shoes won't be getting any in either. You can still buy them Bespoke at Church's, but you'll be looking at a bill of £550, which is a little bit too rich for my blood, and a wait of 12 weeks. So, if anyone sees a pair off the radar in an 8.5 F, please contact me. I would be so grateful.
