Harlestone Derby Sneaker - CF Stead Repello Calf Snuff Suede - Gum Sole

The Harlestone Derby is Crown Northampton’s original Hand Stitch style and the pinnacle of luxury, handmade sneakers. Following the standards set with bespoke, hand-welted shoes, the Harlestone is cork filled by hand, providing just enough movement to mould to the wearers' feet, with the additional benefits of comfort, stability, and breathable properties throughout the sneaker. Traditional oak bark leather is used for the counter and stiffener with a natural veg-tan crust shoulder used to form the foundations of the insole. Topped with a soft, full natural veg tan leather lining throughout and french bound stitching around the outer edges. The hand stitch finishing is functional as opposed to decorative and the thick, natural waxed cotton double stitch adds construction security and design character. These intricate, centuries-old construction details further close the gap between high-end casual sneakers and traditional, Goodyear Welted Northampton dress shoes.  CF Stead Repello Calf
