Church's Cognac Brown Plowden Brogue Derby Lace-ups

Discover the Church’s Cognac Brown Plowden Brogue Derby Lace-ups, a bold reinterpretation of a classic wingtip with plenty of character. Made from rich cognac brown leather, the upper features traditional brogue perforations, frilled detailing across the toe cap and tonal cord laces that lend a rugged, heritage feel. Built on the Plowden last, the silhouette has a rounded toe and fuller proportions, giving it a substantial, grounded look that pairs well with everything from selvedge denim to heavy flannel tailoring.

Set on a chunky commando rubber sole, these shoes are built with practicality in mind without losing their refined edge. The Plowden last offers a comfortable, generous fit, while the leather is designed to age well, picking up a natural patina over time. It’s a confident, functional choice that brings a sense of purpose to everyday dressing. Discover the elaborated sartorial details below.

The Plowden is built on a generously proportioned last, typically offered in a G fitting, designed to provide additional room across the forefoot without losing its classic English character. The shape is fuller and more accommodating than slimmer Church’s lasts, making it particularly comfortable for wider feet or longer wear, while the rounded toe and solid proportions preserve a traditional, understated elegance. It is a practical, confidence-inspiring fit that pairs robustness with quiet refinement.
