THE LOCAL BRAND KEEPING SHOEMAKING ALIVE IN LANCASHIRE | ad
 We spent the day with @LANX, finding out how the homegrown footwear brand is helping keep the North West's shoemaking tradition alive.
 Founded by Marco Vaghetti in 2018, LANX has grown from selling shoes at markets around Manchester and the North West to a 60-strong team, a Northern Quarter shop and its own Lancashire factory, just a short drive away from Manchester. The brand makes hard-wearing footwear built to last a lifetime.
 The range is full of classic silhouettes like derby boots, chelsea boots, alongside outdoor waterproof footwear. With a focus on quality materials, local manufacturing and made in England leather, they’re the kind of pieces you’ll have in your wardrobe forever.
 At their Lancashire factory (which you can visit and see the shoes being made), decades of knowledge are being passed between generations, with craftspeople like senior shoemaker Richard – who has worked in shoemaking for more than 40 years – working alongside younger makers learning the trade.
 The real pay off for these guys though? Seeing someone wearing a pair in the pub…
