Church's may be overshadowed by its many star models, but the Pembrey is just as good as any of them. The beef roll, heel kicker, and pinking on the shoe's tongue all convey the old penny loafer look. The Pembrey, which brings the good old penny loafer back to the present, has once again come into the limelight with its appearance in the studded series, which showed the new Church's groundbreaking strength. This season, the calf leather upper is literally covered with a lightweight Dynaite sole. The last is #126, an update befitting a footwear species with good footwork.
The "Houston" Chelsea boot, said to have been used by the Beatles, and the "Shannon" derby shoe, so widely known that the model's name has come to stand alone, are both star models coveted by leather shoe lovers. Both are clad in Church's iconic polished binder calf leather. This resin-treated leather is resistant to scratches and stains as well as rain, and features a glossy sheen. The former is #136 and the latter is #103.
