There is no doubting the quality of a Church shoe,I have worn a pair of Ryder chukka boots for 10 years with no problems at all.Another good English shoemaker admired here in England to rival Church would be 'Crockett and Jones'.
Although still formal with 'closed lacing' Craig's shoe is more interesting than a plain Oxford because of the brouge punching at the toe cap.
If you prefer this feature I would also recommend English maker Grenson's 'Underwood' in the Rushden range.This shoe gives me all the benefits of a closed laced shoe but with a 'pointy' toe style similar to Craig's John Lobb's.
