Crockett & Jones was founded in 1879 in Northampton, specializing in the production of shoes according to the "Goodyear-welted" method, which requires 8 weeks to manufacture and contains 200 steps. Today the company is in its fifth generation; while their processes of manufacture have evolved, their commitment to creating strong products of high quality and incomparable comfort remains the same. Crockett & Jones has three lines for men and one collection of shoes and boots for women.
