We exclusively use some of the world’s best materials to make our sneakers, shoes and boots. With no exceptions to this rule, our ongoing mission statement is to deliver an end product using the correct materials at the correct price point that we can firmly stand behind on all levels and, importantly, at a fair and honest price to our customers. This is achieved through continuous sourcing, backed up by thorough trialling and research into current and new materials.

Our location in Northampton gives us access to the leading leather merchants in the UK. We are situated among some of the most elite shoe factories in the world; therefore, it makes perfect sense for us to follow suit and use the same quality materials throughout our collections. This means the highest quality European box calf leather, Chromexcel, Buffalo and Shell Cordovan leathers sourced from top tier tanneries such as the Horween Leather Company in Chicago, USA, and premium Janus calf suedes from Charles F Stead in Leeds, UK. Our longstanding local contacts ensure our quality levels always adhere to the high standards set by the Northampton footwear trade.

Crown Northampton design is timeless, with a progressive mindset - All collections retain traditional British construction methods and finishing. Using only the finest locally-sourced materials, all footwear is handmade to order in our Northampton, England factory, ensuring all processes from design to production remain in-house and entirely under our control. Crucially, when you deal with Crown Northampton, you are always dealing directly with the manufacturer.
