MADE IN BRITAIN SINCE 1952
Founded in 1952 by two brothers, Tony & Michael started the brand by cutting shoes out by hand in their parents’ house. Over the years the brand has grown and adapted but is still proud to be a family run business with a strong belief in UK manufacturing. Made in Britain, our best-selling range of pre-walkers are made with soft leather uppers, flexible soles and are the perfect introduction to footwear offering support and protection.
