No problem!

I purchased a pair of Chelsea Boots from Churches of London in the late 90s and they still look great today!

I’ve had new soles a few times, and recent had a partial reconstruction; liners, pull tags and so on.

But I’ve had them 25 years and the actual boot leather is still fantastic!

Looks like Church’s was acquired by Prada USA corp in 1999. They may or may not be the same quality now.
