Crown Northampton Ltd - Handmade Shoes & Sneakers - Since 1908

I've had my trainers for nearly 5 years now so it was time to send them back for a resole, I was amazed how responsive they were with the comms also they went beyond just a resole, new laces and new inner sole were also replaced .First class thanks Crown .

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.

Shoes made of high quality leather and well finished, so I am generally pleased with the product. 4 stars out of 5 given the total absence of communication from Crown Northampton regarding the progress in fulfilling the order, this would provide a much better customer experience more especially when we are beyond the 45 days lead time that is provided when placing the order.

I bought 2 pairs of Harlestone hand stitched sneakers. One with calf leather n the other with Shell Cordovan leather. The materials used are of high quality no question. However I gave them 3 stars because brand new out of the box the leather had minor scratches which I had to repair myself. The stitching and finish is not commensurate with the price I paid. Some areas of the sole and leather seam had gaps. And the most glaring thing that secured the 3 stars was the tongue. Whenever I wear them it will flop to one side when walking. Not something befitting of its high price. All they had to do was sew part of the tongue down to prevent it from flopping to one side. I think this maybe unique to the Harlestone handstitched models. Even though the materials were top notch the quality of the workmanship is lacking. The finish is also not impeccable. My shoes came late like everybody's but I would like to commend their customer service for being really good. I had all my emails answered except one and I'm generally very pleased with their service.

I have two pairs of Crown Northampton shoes now, a pair of sneakers and pair of desert boots. These shoes are of exceptional quality. Both are extremely comfortable and were easy to wear in. Looked after, these shoes will last a lifetime. One of the reasons I went to Crown was that you can get all of their shoes re-soled, a big benifit in this world of throw away items. I have had these shoes a year now, I love them.
