Purchased my first pair of off-white Harlestone Derby's last year and have to say they are one of the most comfortable sneakers I own. They feel and look amazing and will soon be ordering another pair in a different colour.
I recently received my pair of Woodford desert boots in sand Kudu suede and I'm very pleased. They look great and they are clearly made to a high standard that remains true to the original design. The Kudu suede from CF Stead is buttery soft and the boots are as comfortable as slippers. I'd recommend the Crown shoe trees to help keep them in shape and the Saphir Medaille D'or Protector, especially as I expect them to last a few years. Crown are a friendly and attentive bunch and special thanks to Lucy and Chris for their assistance.
I ordered these a few months ago, shipped to the US, the shipping company showed that the order was delivered, however they weren’t delivered to me. The shipping company was supposed to get my signature but they put an “X” in that section, and didn’t take a picture of the delivery. I contacted Crown Northampton about the missing delivery and even though it in no way their fault my delivery went missing and have no obligation to replace the order, they still offered to do so. This is something I appreciate so much and I think it speaks volumes about the integrity of this company. They are good people and I’m certain that no shortcuts are taken with regards to the quality of their shoes. Just wanted to express my gratitude that they would go the extra mile to make sure I got my order, I couldn’t speak highly enough of this brand.
I have received the third pair of sneakers, this time is a Gat sneakers of the jazz collection! This sneaker wears like a glove, a light weight shoe in a super soft leather. to confirm that yours sneakers are the best that money can buy. For sure I will purchase again and again. Very very happy with your shoes. I had second pair a month ago, pure luxury sneakers. Both are overstone, one is the classic white version, and one the blue kudu suede in TL version. Many many pros for sure.the only cons in my opinion on the TL version, because of a very very very soft suede leather, it is bit loose/wide on ankle support. Other than that, exceptional quality. I will buy for sure again.
I discovered Crown Northampton from watching Rose Anvil on YouTube and the Kavalier. Sizing is difficult for me due to my uncommonly miniature feet, but Crown Northamptons make their footwear in my size! Emailing Crown for info was easy Lucy was very helpful. My first order for the Overstone Derby in Horween No 8 Chromexcel was placed May 19th. My pair arrived July 6th. It took a little longer than their original listed lead time 10 to 25 business days, but they emailed me in advance to let me know. My Overstones fit wonderfully with room for my toes. They are very well made and comfortable out of the box. I have just received my second pair of Crowns. I ordered the Woodford Desert Boot in natural Chromexcel October 26th, and have received them December 15th. Again, the boot is very well made. The material is top notch, and comfort is fantastic. A huge plus is all Crown Northampton footwear can be resoled. Highly recommended if you're looking for well-made, high quality, comfortable and long lasting footwear.
I received my white Harlestone Handstitch shoes today. It was well worth the wait for a pair of handmade sneakers. They look, smell and feel like a million dollars. 110% satisfied. The nicest storage bags I've ever seen.
I have always struggled with sneakers due to the width of my feet and less than satisfied with the build quality. So I had been recommended Crown Northampton from some guys raving about them over in the US so thought I'd give them a go. The selling point for me was that they build these sneakers using the same techniques as a shoe manufacturer out in northampton would build there shoes and boots, which is to say they build them to last. You can even send them back to Crown Northampton to get them resoled, like you would any pair of shoes. Brilliant. Well I ordered 3 pairs and once they came quickly ordered a forth. They are so well made and the materials you can choose from are right up there with the top bespoke shoe makers. The Horween Cordovan is particularly impressive, as was the deer that feel like you are walking around with clouds on your feet. can't recommend enough.
After looking at the company online, as I wanted a high-quality shoes, I arranged a visit to the factory to try on the shoes for sizing as I had never bought a pair before, which was easy as Crown Northampton CN were very accommodating. I didn't realise that I would have the pleasure of meeting the Founder/ Managing Director, Chris Woodford who took me on a tour through the factory which was great. One of the brilliant things about direct-to-consumer is the speed of response and knowledge of the product. As I had lots of questions about my options and the products once I had left the factory and over 2 months, I asked Yasmin questions to which she was great in responding and helping me come to my final decision on my order which was the Everdon Wholecut Mid boot. I like the fact that you can modify the boot to your preference do so in the "notes" section when purchasing The Horween Buffalo leather is wonderful and delivery time is fine expect within 3-4 months For the price you pay for premium materials, construction and direct-to-consumer experience the cost of all the shoes are very reasonable. You can easily pay £800 for a designer brand sneaker who do not know what materials are in the entire shoe nor tell you what construction has been used. Thing to consider for the Everdon is the removal of the laces are very difficult as the stitching holding the tongue in place also holds the laces in place. I usually re-lace but decided not the do so as I was concerned that I could not lace them again I left my water bottle at the factory when I first visited which after 4 months was returned with the Everdon's in wonderful condition. Thank you CN :
The most incredible experience….I was interested in these shoes but to be sure about size I went to the factory in Northampton. I was expecting a quick tour and shoe fit. What I got was one of the most special experiences of my life. Chris, the latest owner of the company his great great grandfather started, is doing magical things: hand stitching, Horween leather from Chicago, Kudu Suede, valuing his employees to the point of developing a shoe that required even more labour, craft over profit, details details details, training, Buffalo ink oh that blue!, tanneries from Dorset using oak bark from Wales. All with good reason: excellence. The man’s pursuit is mind boggling. This is just a tiny part of it all. If someone doesn’t do what Chris is doing, it will get lost. I already loved shoes, but now! On a practical level I’m glad I went as we determined I needed the wide fitting G but the magic, oh the magic! Thank you Chris. PS The two I bought are so beautiful I considered wearing one of each today!
Sometimes in life you just have to treat yourself. Handmade, looks good, feels good, exceptional quality so pleased we still have great British craftsmanship alive and well in the 21st Century. I will definitely order another pair.
