Not entirely proper leather shoes but I have a pair of Crown sneakers, handmade in Northampton which I have hammered daily at work for over a year. I’m taking them to be re-soled at the factory tomorrow which fills me with glee; a non-disposable trainer. They’re like a pair of old slippers now and the patination is beautiful.
What’s the quality of the uppers like? How many soles do you reckon they’ll get through?
I also like the idea of non-disposable trainers but £75 Stan smiths make £60 sole changes seem unviable even with my finest man-maths.
