Sanders & Sanders Ltd. has been making shoes in Rushden, Northamptonshire since 1873. Founded by brothers William and Thomas Sanders, the company is still family-run five generations later, and still crafting footwear in the very same factory they moved into back in 1924.

Known for their clean lines and durability, Sanders specializes in Goodyear-welted construction—a traditional method that means their shoes can be resoled, repaired, and worn for years. Their Hi-Top Chukka boot even got the James Bond treatment (Daniel Craig wore a pair in Spectre). They’ve outfitted the British military, too.

So yes—these shoes can take a beating. But more importantly, they’ll do it with style.
