George Cox

About George Cox

George Cox is a shoemaker founded in Northamptonshire in 1906, and it still makes distinctive footwear in England. The brand is best known for its creepers and thick crepe soles, which found a following among British youth cultures and subcultures from the 1950s onwards, with the 1960s singled out in particular. The range also includes brogues and other leather shoes with heritage styling. The shoes are made with skilled hands and honest machinery. If you like traditional British shoemaking with a rebellious streak, and a strong link to British music, fashion and street culture, this is a good label to look at.
