The Harlestone was our first and most popular sneaker in our hand stitch collection, it had to be adapted to fit into Crown Northampton’s unlined Collection. Our aim, to make the softest luxury sneaker possible that still moulds to your foot, does not loose shape and lasts many a resole.
We achieved this by spending a year developing an old skill once used by Haynes and Cann Ltd, the Northampton RAF boot manufacturer, from 1919 to 2010. A process where thick leather is split and the structure (toe puff) is inserted allowing the toe box to not require lining. We developed this technique to also add structure to the heel and facing making what we consider to be the perfect holiday sneaker, crafted by the knowledge of our predecessors for todays more casual relaxed style.

The four main shoemaking stages once an order is placed...
Clicking
The ‘clicking’ or cutting process as it is also known is the very start of your shoes being made, the leather is cut into the shapes that make up your silhouette either by hand or on a press.
Closing
Once all the components of the shoe are cut they go through several processes that are essential to the construction then they are sewn together to make the upper.
Lasting
A last is a template form that is unique to each shoe size and style, the upper is pulled onto the last to give it the final shape of the shoe ready for a sole to be fitted. Once the sole is fitted the shoe will have it’s complete form.
Shoe Rooming
The final stage of the factory process your shoes go through the hands of our quality checkers and the finish is applied to the leather or suede to finish the shoe and ensure it looks it’s absolute best.
