The majority of men’s shoe collections are made from leather whether it’s a calf, full grain or split suede and like all tanned hides they will age gracefully over time providing they are cared for. Investing in a pair of Barker Goodyear welted shoes is in our eyes only the start of the commitment made to your shoes no matter the style.
The Autumn / Winter 2019 season saw Barker welcome Northampton-based German documentary and editorial photographer Britta Burgstaller to our Earls Barton factory.
In 1880, the foundation stone of Barker Shoes was laid in a humble cottage in the heart of England's shoe manufacturing industry by an enterprising Northamptonshire boot maker, Arthur Barker.
When it comes non-leather sole alternatives that are hardwearing and long lasting Barker looks to English solesmith Dainite for a rubber that separates our feet from the surface.
