Original.
'The' Creeper.

Made In England.

The Skipton is what you picture when you think of Creepers: A statement of true originality. Since their first outing in the 1970s during the rock 'n' roll revival, the Skipton has been a defining subcultural style. Adopted across generations and reinterpreted by collaborators across the globe, the Skipton is the flagbearer for George Cox, the Creeper and the rebellious spirit.

  • VI Sole (30mm front, 42mm back)

Our creepers can fit differently to other brands. We recommend ordering a half or full size smaller than you would from leading sneaker brands, but the same size as from other English footwear brands. Click here for more information.

1353 Last

Detail

The last is a foot-shaped form used to determine the size, shape, and silhouette of a shoe. The 1353 last has a very traditional Northamptonshire round-toe shape, creating elegant silhouettes that we adapt into something altogether much tougher.

2-Part Buckle

Detail

We use a signature 2-part buckle on our Creepers. The separate buckle and keeper elements contribute to creating our original monk silhouettes.

593 Brogue

Detail

Many footwear brands have their own distinct Brogue patterns on the toe of their shoes. The 593 is ours, which dates back over 60 years.

Castle Emboss Backstrip

Detail

The castle motif in our logo refers to our original factory, ‘Castle Works’ in Wellingborough. It served as our factory for over 70 years.

Corrected Leather

Detail

Corrected leather, also referred to as rectified leather, is our signature material. Made originally for more industrial purposes, this bold flat polished finish gives our shoes their brutal striking finish.

Dutch Last

Detail

The last is a foot-shaped form used to determine the size, shape, and silhouette of a shoe. The brutal shape of our Creepers is due to the unique walled lasts we construct them on. We have been making Creepers on the round-toe ‘Dutch’ last since 1949.

Goodyear Welted

Detail

The Goodyear welted construction process is considered the gold standard for quality made footwear. Goodyear-welting involves stitching the upper to the sole of the shoe using a welt. It is a repairable process, and shoes made with this technique have superior comfort over time.

H-Slot Interlace

Detail

The H-Slot is our double-row basketweave style interlace. Hand-woven with round waxed cotton lace, the H-Slot first appeared on our shoes in the 1950s on our ‘Tench’ style.

Inter Last

Detail

The last is a foot-shaped form used to determine the size, shape, and silhouette of a shoe. The brutal shape of our Creepers is due to the unique walled lasts we construct them on. The round-toe ‘Inter’ last is a contemporary iteration of the classic ‘Dutch’ shape.

KM Last

Detail

The last is a foot-shaped form used to determine the size, shape, and silhouette of a shoe. The KM last has a very traditional Northamptonshire round-toe shape, creating a classically casual silhouette.

Mersey Last

Detail

The last is a foot-shaped form used to determine the size, shape, and silhouette of a shoe. The brutal shape of our Creepers is due to the unique walled lasts we construct them on. We have been making Creepers on the pointed-toe ‘Mersey’ last since the 1950s.

No. 14 Punch Interlace

Detail

Hand-woven in and out of the triangular perforations around the edge of the apron, a single strip of flat leather cloth creates the distinctive No.14 Punch.

Notched Popboy Construction

Detail

The Notched Popboy construction is achieved by wrapping the foxing (the side of the sole) above the level where your foot sits in the shoe. We insert a notched strip between the crepe and the leather.

Oversized Safety Pins

Detail

The safety pin is rich with punk symbolism, both for its practicality as a tool for fixing damaged clothing, but also as a statement against the established consumer culture of the time.

Pony' Hair-On Leather

Detail

Pony' is the name we give to our hair-on cow leather, it is tanned and dyed with the hair still on. Often an animal print is then applied, brandished by subcultural movements for generations.

Rubber Ripple Sole

Detail

Our branded ripple sole is made from a durable and lightweight rubber, we first used ripple soles in the 1990s, notably in collaboration with Vivienne Westwood.

Sidewall Stitched

Detail

Sidewall stitching is a process in which you sew through the highest part of the sole into the side of the upper (leather part) of the shoe. This process adds durability.

Skipton Front Interlace

Detail

The triple-row basketweave style interlace is hand-woven with round waxed cotton lace to create the unmistakable Skipton front.

Slotted D-Rings

Detail

Our steel D-Rings are slotted into the shoe with a small strip of leather and meticulously stitched into the upper, delivering a finish that showcases the craftsmanship that defines George Cox footwear. The D-Ring is bold, brutal and easy to adjust.

Steel Eyelets

Detail

Industrial riveted eyelets are a prominent feature of more practical footwear types. They feature on many of our Creeper styles in a nod to our humble beginnings as a practical shoe and boot manufacturer.

Steer's Head Emboss

Detail

The Steer's Head emboss is one of our very first Creeper decorations, depicting the head of a Steer (Bull), first appearing on the Buxton loafer in the early 1950s.

Viking Grid Emboss

Detail

The Viking Grid is a two-part toe emboss, consisting of the raised ribbed border (Viking) and the quilt style emboss (Grid) inside it. It is the first decoration ever used on a Creeper.
