Our fourth generation family company was established in 1899 to service the then burgeoning local quarrying and lead mining industries with quality work boots.

We have been manufacturing our 'ruff-lander' and 'A L White' branded footwear in our current Peak District premises since 1904 and we are now the only remaining heavy duty safety, foundry and agricultural boot manufacturer in the UK.

To compliment our own footwear we are also stockists and distributors of many other footwear brands and styles.

With our extensive history we have gathered a vast knowledge of 'all things footwear', so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
