A TRIP TO THE MENS SHOE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD - NORTHAMPTON, ENGLAND

The Northampton area, right in the geographic centre of England, is rightly referred to as the capital of the mens quality footwear world. A significant number of the best mens shoe & boot manufacturers make their home in the area and the subsequent skill-base of the local population, honed over many generations of the same families working in the shoe factories, means that that some fantastic shoes and boots are made in the various factories in the area.

On a recent multi-point business trip in the area, I took the liberty of stopping off at the factories of Loake, Cheaney and the Church manufacturing facility in Northampton itself. In this video I explain what I discovered on my trip and explain what bargains can be found in the factory outlet shops, where imperfect and 'end of line' shoes and boots are liquidated as a fraction of their retail price.
