For Autumn/Winter 2019 Barker invited Northampton-based photographer Ben Lloyd to visit our Earls Barton factory to capture the behind the scenes of our shoemaking process.
When it comes to living sustainably we’re constantly faced with daily decisions on how we can reduce, reuse and recycle. The Goodyear Welt allows for Barker shoes to be re-soled and prolong their lifespan.
The history of the loafer has several origins firstly in London where bespoke shoe company Wildsmith Shoes designed a slip-on shoe for King George VI as a casual house shoe.
A new slip-on addition to the Creative collection for Spring / Summer 2020, Frank is a elegant Goodyear-welted loafer made on the 69 last from premium European leathers with a single leather sole.
