They were looking for something that trod the middle ground, between traditional brogues and oxfords and trainers and walked a different beat in Churchill. According to Abhishek, “Like most new businesses it’s been difficult to establish Churchill in the premium footwear segment. With limited resources, in a short span of 3 years the team at Churchill shoes has been able to grow the brand by 4 times year on year.”

Since organized footwear volume is growing at 20% CAGR, Abhishek says, that this is just the beginning of the journey for the category. “We at Churchill & Company aim to aggressively take full advantage of this situation and would like to gain a substantial share of market in the next few years,” maintains Abhishek.

Churchill shoes, Abhishek claims, come from the finest design studio in Northampton, England and are crafted with a fine balance and precision of man and machine with the finest imported European full grain leather. “Churchill has a trademarked technology ‘Softherapy’ which delivers a softer foot strike to the ground devoid of any stiffness. To gentlemen, we provide a more versatile, classic and comfortable walking beat with deconstructed styles and softer finishes. Churchill is classic style designed softly,” explains Abhishek.
