Its main installations are located in the St James area of Northampton, with an estimated production capacity of 5,000 pairs per week, 70% of which are exported all over the world. Besides products sold to resellers and individual customers, the company has retail stores in Belgium, France, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, and UK.

I have no idea where the remaining 30% are made.

Not that these are in my current budget, but one doesn't have to partake of a thing to know a bit about said thing.
