That price is cheaper than some of the Church's factory shop seconds. They do cut corners by using corrected grain leathers and Prada have pushed them into making some vile shoes but overall they still make a good quality shoe that you will get years of use from.
Thanks chaps, this is for a country wedding with a navy suit and I'm not a massive fan of plain oxfords so I'm happy with the finish/style/colour. The main thing is that splashing out is going to result in a shoe that lasts a very long time!
