Founded in 1879 in Northampton, at the heart of England's most famous shoemaking town, Crockett & Jones specialize in the manufacture of high quality Goodyear welted footwear. James Bond wore Crockett & Jones. How cool is that? Currently the company is still in the founding family's hands. My husband bought these for me in London. These shoes are labeled UK 6 which should be a US 8 but they were too big for me so they are really a US 9. They are new without tags. I tried them on only. Navy calfskin with navy silk ribbon ties. Classic!
