History

Established in 1879.

Crockett & Jones was founded in 1879 in Northampton, where they specialise in the manufacture of high quality Goodyear-​welted footwear.

Although the production process has evolved since the early days of shoe-​making, with the introduction of better machinery and ‘health & safety’, much of the factory looks as it did when it was first built. The manufacture of high quality shoes remains very labour-​intensive, requiring a highly skilled workforce to carry out more than 200 separate operations during an 8 week period. Goodyear-​Welted construction gives the shoes an exceptional degree of strength, durability and comfort in wear. This method originated by hand-​makers centuries ago.

As a 5^th generation family managed business, Crockett & Jones is committed to maintaining the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship, quality and service which have been appreciated by their customers for more than 130 years.
