What to know about Sanders & Sanders Ltd.

Fifth generation, same Rushden factory

Founded in 1873 by brothers William and Thomas Sanders, it is still family-run and has made shoes in its Spencer Road building in Northamptonshire since 1924.

Army contracts became a collection

A standing Military Collection traces back to British Army supply work from the 1910s, and sits alongside civilian derbies, chukkas, Chelsea boots, loafers and monk straps.

Volume production at welted prices

Output runs to thousands of pairs a week across 30-plus export markets, so this is a high-tier Goodyear-welted and crepe-soled maker built on scale, not small-batch runs.
