I created Percy Stride as a unique and creative alternative for men’s footwear. Having experienced the limitless freedom of design while studying footwear at university, I could not understand why I was still seeing high-street stores lined with shelves of boring repetitive styles and colours that have been done a hundred times over.

I wanted Percy Stride to be quietly exclusive, maintain the handmade Northampton quality but provide an essence of drama with every pair. A delicate balance of modern design and traditional values. There is nothing more crucial than making sure my clients are happy throughout the process .

Please take the time to explore what Percy Stride has to offer. Thank you for visiting.

At Percy Stride we not only concentrate on the quality, fit and comfort of our handmade men's smart shoes; but we also take the time to investigate the health and wellness benefits which only come from proper footwear.

We don't just concentrate on the external appeal but also the internal aids which contribute to the increase of the shoes life, form and your spinal and foot health.

All our English Men's footwear is 100% handmade and manufactured in Britain's "home of shoe-making" Northampton.
We pride ourselves on our foundation of British shoe-making and heritage.
Our Factory in Wollaston, Northampton holds factory tours throughout the year, to which our clients are able to be guided around the building by the managing director, being explained and shown every stage of the footwear making process.
Our Goodyear welted construction technique is the most formidable and trusted of all forms of construction and allows our footwear to be not only more water-resistant (perfect for our classic "English weather") but also gives our shoes the ability to be repaired, rebuilt and customized.
