From their factory in Earls Barton to customers all over the world, these shoes will be part of Northampton's history for years to come.

Barker Shoes, a local shoemakers that has been making shoes in Northamptonshire since 1880, has released a new limited edition collection of men's shoes to commemorate the upcoming King’s Coronation.

Designed and made in their Earls Barton factory, their new collection features a Union Jack on the inside quarter of each shoe whilst the sole proudly boasts the iconic flag as well as the coronation emblem, paying homage to their British heritage.
