@GraemeE thanks for the answer! Not really sure how I would combine them with my wardrobe but they look so cool that I have to get a pair eventually

@Bridger I have to admit that I hadn‘t heard of this company before either and I actually came across it by chance on the Heddels platform one week ago
https://www.heddels.com/2026/04/how-crown-northampton-sneakers-are-resoled/
The shoes have a delivery time of six to eight weeks and since I was not sure whether they would fit, I bought a used pair that looked like new. And I have to say I am very impressed with the quality, especially the comfort. I said to my wife these shoes feel like Brazilian samba dancers are wrapping my feet with their soft hands. Famous last words…….

@Bridger worth looking for the factory shops, could be slight seconds / end of lines available.
Had these Cheany Chukka boots and brogues around 11 years ago from the factory shop

Indeed @NickD. I have a few pairs of Jeffery-West and Joseph Cheaney shoes and boots.
It would be cool to check out whatever of these shoe-makers facilities are open to the public.

Great quote @Marc2706. However, based on your posts, I am wondering if you are talking from experience rather than making a simile
-
@Bridger Edward Green and Trickers both have factory shops, I think Cheaney and C&J do as well.

Not quite shoes, but bedrock's mountain clogs. I love these things and it's all I wear in the summertime and they've started to develop a great patina on them.
Made with leather, assembled locally here in Montana. These have vibram soles and are actually resoleable (or re-soulable as they call it). Would highly recommend!
Right on!

I recently realised I had these sitting in the back of the cupboard. I bought them in about 97?

Here are my Arrow Moccasins. Arrow Moccasin Company had offered the finest quality moccasins almost 70 years. They were a small family owned and oriented business established in 1951. Ron Ouellette [ pronounced "wool-let" ] was employed in 1951 as a boot maker for "Old Sturbridge Village" of Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Arrow moccasins are made of extra heavy, quality, Swiss hides that were tanned in England, the same country that produces the best of bridle leathers.
I found my first pair in 2020. They were used, but just barely. Then a few years later I found a dead stock pair and bought them immediately. Now I have an outdoor pair and an indoor pair. Best footwear I’ve ever owned by far.

@freepickin Those are badass! Wow. I might have to get me a pair of those just for summer shit-kicking.

@GraemeE Those are gorgeous. This thread is wicked. Thanks for sharing.
