Cheaney x Norman Walsh Trainers: British-Made

Friday, 11 October 2019

When two British shoemakers, making quite different styles of footwear, collaborate each must leave its own stamp on the final product. What happens when a traditional maker of Goodyear welted shoes works with a manufacturer of hand-made trainers and sneakers?

Cheaney x Walsh Ginger Pull Up - also available in mink/black and brown (the last have black soles)

Joseph Cheaney & Sons have collaborated with Bolton-based trainer manufacturers, Norman Walsh to produce a collection of three unisex trainers. Based on one of Walsh's most popular lasts, they have oily leather and suede uppers, bringing a touch of traditional British Northampton shoemaking to the Bolton-made trainers. 


Leather brings a touch of character to the shoes as they're worn. I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks and already they are acquiring that look which only quality leather can have as it ages - for some this will be an improvement over a grubby pair of fabric trainers.

Comfortable? Of course: these are based on trainers that have stood the test of competition and time from a company with a sporting pedigree that goes back to 1948 and the leather, selected by Cheaney, is top quality, flexible and soft.

See Cheaney or Norman Walsh for  more information or to buy.
