Barker

Barker shoes have been around for over 100 years, and are one of the premium English brands of shoes. They’re generally cheaper than some of the other premium brands like Church’s or Crockett and Jones — not sure if that’s reflected in the quality or not, as Barker shoes are extremely high quality, and I’ve never tried the others.
Around sale time (July), you’ll find most of their lines on sale, some up to 40% off, so that’s the best time to go. What you’ll get is generally a leather soled shoe — be very careful the first time you wear them, especially on carpeted surfaces, as they’ll be very slippery. They’ll also take a bit longer than usual to break in, as the leather is very stiff, but they’re made to last.
I’ve only had my barkers a couple weeks, but so far so good. If I still have them in a year I’ll probably have to revisit this review and upgrade it to five stars!
