CM MEASUREMENT VS ACTUAL FOOT LENGTH
For a more precise size guide that is specific to Crown Northampton footwear, we ask that you go by our listed CM measurements vs the actual length of your foot.
In order to get the best size for your feet, follow these simple steps:
1. Place your foot on a piece of paper and mark the two furthest points from your heel to your longest toe, then take the measurement from point to point.
2. Using the size table above you can compare between UK/US/EU sizing in centimetres, we recommend you select a size around 0.4 CM to 0.8 CM longer than your actual foot measurement for the optimum fit.
We take our listed CM measurements directly from the last so this size conversion method is the most accurate and personal to each customer.
COMPLIMENTARY INSOLES (Classic & TL Sneaker Collections Only)
With each Sneaker collection order we add in an extra pair of complimentary insoles with memory foam properties that can be slipped under the existing insoles if desired. This helps achieve a closer fit and in most cases compensates for a half size. This added extra is available with the Sneaker collection only.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Overstone Hi is a hi-top sneaker with traditional Derby lace-up construction. Double-stitched at pressure points for added strength yet otherwise hidden stitching throughout, and classically styled with metal eyelets. A soft and luxurious, full natural leather lining is complimented by hand finished, leather lined Crown Northampton insoles, adding a further level of comfort and quality. The sneaker collection is handmade to order in our Northampton, England factory using only the finest leathers sourced from some of the best tanneries in the world such as CF Stead in Leeds, England and the Horween Company in Chicago, USA. The custom made Crown Northampton sole unit offers strength, durability and comfort all in a lightweight base which is then securely attached with sidewall stitching, allowing for resoling in our factory at a later date if required. Finished with laser-etched branding to the outsole, handwritten internal style notes and compact heel pull that also acts as a wraparound lace loop for longer laces. Further details include a Crown embossed padded tongue, premium waxed laces, handwritten internal style notes and an extra set of insoles that can be placed underneath the existing insoles to help tailor the fit if necessary. Handmade to order in Northampton, England.
CLICKER’S NOTES - HORWEEN BUFFALO LEATHER
Horween buffalo leather is tanned in the US in a similar way to Chromexcel with a combination of both vegetable and chrome tanning. Through these processes, the buffalo is naturally shrunken down from around 30ft to 20ft when finished. This skilled process pulls the fibres together tight, making them very tough and durable. Each skin retains its own personal ruggedness which results in a pronounced grain that can vary in size across the surface. As the skins are purposely left natural straight out of the tanning drum and not embossed for a uniform finish, the true character of each skin shines through, making each pair of sneakers or shoes made from the material completely unique. The Horween Company is hugely respected and continues to deliver the very best leather available in the world through complex tanning processes and secret family methods.
