Crockett & Jones

 


Crockett & Jones: English Shoemaking at Its Finest

Founded in 1879 in Northampton, England’s shoemaking capital, Crockett & Jones has spent nearly 150 years building some of the best footwear in the world. Family-owned. In-house produced. Uncompromising in quality.

This is not a brand chasing trends. It’s one preserving standards.

Every pair is Goodyear-welted by hand. Every leather is burnished for depth. Every last has been refined over generations to deliver balance, comfort, and unmistakable silhouette.

At Claymore Shop, we carry Crockett & Jones because it offers what so many modern brands don’t: craftsmanship, restraint, and the kind of elegance that never feels forced.

Worn by professionals, purists, and featured in classic British cinema.

 

For Men Who Know That Great Shoes Say Everything

Claymore clients don’t need logos. They need shoes that fit right, wear well, and anchor everything else they put on.

Crockett & Jones delivers that and nothing less.

Why our clients choose Crockett & Jones:

  • They already own Aldens and want something with a sleeker, more European profile
  • They understand that good leather isn’t enough. Rather, it’s how it’s cut, lasted, and finished
  • They want shoes that can handle pavement, meetings, airports, and weddings
  • They care about shape, silhouette, and substance, not flash
  • They believe the best shoes don’t ask for attention: they earn it

 

These are lifelong shoes designed to be resoled, reworn, and relied upon.

 

Refined. Durable. Built for Real Life.

We stock Crockett & Jones shoes that balance smart design with wearability,  shoes that feel just as right at a board meeting as they do in a bar or on a brick sidewalk.

  • Audley Cap-Toe Oxford (Last 337): crisp, classic, always appropriate
  • Hallam Oxford (Last 348): elongated shape, slightly modern edge

🔹 Loafers:

We regularly bring in exclusive makeups, including shell cordovan, scotch grain, and MTO pairs in unique leather and last combinations.

 

If it’s on our shelf, it’s been selected for fit, form, and long-term value.

 

Hand-Built. Goodyear-Welted. Quietly Exceptional.

Every Crockett & Jones pair is bench-made in Northampton, utilizing over 200 individual steps and a production timeline that spans eight weeks or more.

 

🔹 Fit Philosophy:

 

  • Popular lasts include 325, 337, 348, and 375
  • UK sizing, with personalized fit conversion in-store
  • Designed to break in beautifully and mold to the foot over time

 

🔹 Goodyear-Welted Construction:

  • Fully welted in-house, not outsourced
  • Multiple sole options: single/double leather, Dainite rubber, storm welt
  • Resoleable for decades of wear
  • Insoles of dense leather that shape to your stride

 

🔹 Leathers & Materials:

  • Full-grain calf from top-tier European tanneries
  • Reverse calf suede for soft texture and durability
  • Select styles in Horween shell cordovan, scotch grain, and waxed leathers
  • Hand-finished burnishing for tonal richness

 

We often hear it: “These are the most balanced shoes I’ve ever worn.”
And we’d agree.

 

Proven Winners. Season After Season.

These are the Crockett & Jones pairs that get noticed, get worn, and get reordered.

 

🔹Cavendish Tassel Loafer in Dark Brown Suede


The perfect balance of polish and ease. Flawless with flannel trousers, cords, or weekend tailoring. Built on the 325 last.


🔹Audley Cap-Toe Oxford in Black Calf


The essential dress shoe. Worn at weddings, offices, and every moment in between. Clients come back for a second pair.

🔹 Islay Full Brogue Boot in Scotch Grain


Storm-welted. Dainite-soled. Made for winter, worn with denim, tweed, or tailoring. Clients call it their “snow boot that still looks sharp.”

🔹Boston Penny Loafer in Chestnut Calf


A softer silhouette for relaxed days. Clients love it as their off-duty loafer that pairs with knits, chinos, and coffee runs.

🔹 Westfield Semi-Brogue in Dark Brown Calf


For clients who want a little more detail than a plain Oxford, without veering into flash. A favorite for weddings, travel, and dressed-up casual.

Many clients return for a second pair, or more.
