Britain is world renowned for footwear with Northampton was once the centre of the global manufacturing for footwear. Nowadays cheap imports have meant that the British footwear industry has become smaller. But British footwear is still the envy of the world for quality. Handcrafted footwear are not only more comfortable but they will last far longer and in many cases can be resoled meaning one pair could last a lifetime. Owning a handcrafted footwear is also a pleasure which you will cherish.
