Founded in 1880, the long-established footwear brand comes from Northamptonshire, the British shoemaking base, just like Grenson. During World War I, Barker supplied military boots to the British Army, and today it is a well-known British handmade shoe brand, loved by many men who prefer handmade shoes. In 2010, Barker received the Gold Award for British Fashion and Clothing Exports from Princess Anne in recognition of his outstanding quality.
 
Although Barker is a second-tier brand, it is no less sophisticated than a first-tier brand in terms of shoemaking. Each Marker shoemaker undergoes more than 10 years of training to achieve the level of craftsmanship required by Barker before they can make their own shoes. It takes 200 processes and 8 weeks to make a pair of Barker shoes, but compared to handmade shoe brands that are rarely mass-produced, Barker can be regarded as a large production, maintaining an annual output of about 200,000 pairs.
 
When you walk into Barker and see the Anniversary collection, you will have the illusion that you are looking at a French brand. Compared with the British gentleman's shoes, which are mainly black and brown, the Anniversary series of shoes is rich in colors, including the figure of the French rubbing process, as well as blue, burgundy and other shades, Wordsworth Oxfords, Byron Derby shoes Oxford shoes are the representatives of the Anniversary series. With its stitching that takes you back to England from France – it's still the familiar British flavour – Goodyear is seamed along the edges, and the last is also a voluminous English last, making the Anniversary collection a great choice for flat foot men who like French femininity but are worried about squeezing their feet.

Compared with the uninhibited rubbing color of the Anniversary series, the classic Country and Professional series are the favorites of men who pursue the ultimate British style. In addition to the Anniversary series, Barker's ready-to-wear shoes are priced at about 4,000 yuan, and the other series are mostly priced below 3,000 yuan, and some styles of the Country series are even less than 2,000 yuan.
