Hunter Boots

Hunter Gumboots or Hunter Wellies are know for their vulcanized rubber products for over 150 years. Produced by Hunter Limited as one of the oldest manufacturers of rubber boots in England, even the world.

It was back in 1817 that gumboots first made its appearance. It was first worn by soldiers in WW 1 & 2 but farmers seem to make use of it as well. They tall rubber boots have been helping soldiers and farmers occupy those difficult terrains of mud, water and snow for almost 200 years!

The industry started when Mr. Henry Lee Norris and his friend Spencer Thomas Parmelee landed in Scotland to work out a patent of Charles Goodyear for the manufacturing of Indian rubber shoes and boots.The duo begin to operate in the summer of 1856, with the company named as Norris & Co., which later became the North British Rubber Company after the first limited liability act was conducted and finally became Hunter Limited after a series of changed ownerships throughout its history.

North British Rubber Company not only made rubber boots, but also produced tires, conveyors, combs, golf balls, and rubber flooring. It was not until the advent of World War i when the company was asked by war office to dramatically produce sturdy boots that are suitable for flooded terrains. The boots were known as Wellington Boots. It was an object of envy by the German Soldiers and its dependability showed a decent contribution in the success of the British army. It was because of that Hunter gumboots were again asked to be supplied for World War II.

Hunter Gumboots

By the end of the war Hunter Gumboots had become popular among men, women and children for wear in wet weather. The boot had developed to become far roomier with a thick sole and rounded toe. Also, with the rationing of that time, laborers began to use them for daily work.

North British Rubber company was bought by Uniroyal Limited in 1966, a manufacturer of car tyres that still operates as of today. The company saw another change in ownership in 1986 as Uniroyal was purchased by the Gates Rubber Company which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tomkins plc in 1996. Recognizing the need to strengthen and build upon its positions in its core engineering markets, Tomkins began a process of streamlining its activities by disposing of a number of businesses during the period 1998-2001. In 1999, Tomkins plc sold the Consumer and Industrial Division of The Gates Rubber Company to Interfloor, the country’s largest carpet underlay manufacturer. The company became the Hunter Division of Interfloor. The leverage of transactions throughout the year for the Hunter Division has attracted a group of investors which later acquired the Division and named it Hunter Rubber Company.

After experiencing cash flow problems in 2006, a private consortium who were the previous shareholders of Hunter Rubber Company, bought Hunter out of administration which marks the birth of the now known Hunter Boot Ltd. The new born company re-established itself as a major player in the footwear market and until today has taken the hearts of families all over the world to use their products, especially Hunter Gumboots.

Desert Boots : A Must Have Footwear for Men

December 1, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Clark's Desert Boots

Desert boots are now becoming a trending footwear for men. These boots are the combination of contemporary shoes and hiking boots that can stand up nicely towards those bumpy and hard terrain. In fact, their reputation has much to do with versatility and comfort. Although the boots are made mostly from leather, it is amazing how the moisture wicking technology can keep your foot dry even when exposed to water or moisture. This technology is very handy when dealing with hot weather, as the boots will preserve your feet to stay cool.

Black Desert Boots

Desert boots were designed by Nathan Clark in 1949. The bootsare always featured in sand based, khaki colors because the concept is “desert”, so that’s one thing the makers have to match. The story of how it was made is quite interesting. The boots were inspired from shoes worn by British soldiers in Egypt during World War II. These troops required a boot which could keep their feet cool, where lightweight and capable of work around the sandy terrain. They commissioned merchants through the Bazaar in Cairo to produce these boots, and so merchants answered the demand by creating a product that is later know as desert boots. Clarks Desert Boots are known as the main manufacturer and creator of today’s desert boots.

Warmth, durability, comfort and style are what characterises the desert boot. The only thing that’s changed is how to wear them. Men’s tailored suits, especially in black, navy and corduroy take on a 60′s Modish edge against contrasting coloured boots, particularly in brown, blue or grey, whereas jeans are made instantly smarter when teamed with a pair in tan suede. Desert boots transcend the trends, but fashion-forward wearers are cuffing their trousers and allowing their boots to show, or complimenting their footwear with rugged flannel shirts and chunky knits for a relaxed wintry style that will still look great in spring.

Desert Combat Boots

Men are known to have sported and popularized desert boots, but today ladies have given them their own unique feminine twist, wearing them in shades of dusky rose and autumnal chocolate brown in addition to timeless neutrals. No matter how daring the colour, sophisticated ladies have been matching them with slim-fitting trousers and cosy knitwear, their favourite jeans and an easy plaid shirt, and even a loose-fitting dress with opaque black tights for a style that’s all their own.

Desert Boot Jeans

To add extra interest to the humble design, choose boots with a contrasting coloured sole or laces, or even a different fabric, as many contemporary designers have chosen leather for the upper of their interpretation of the boot. Nevertheless, the traditional soft suede fabrics remain unwaveringly popular amongst dedicated desert boot wearers, as suede is easy to maintain with a suede protector treatment to keep the suede supple and repel water when weather conditions are less than favourable for your boots. Now Desert boots have reached the hearts of fellow men and women, and it will still be produced for generations to come.

Ladies Shoes Buying Tips

November 19, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Ladies Shoes Fashion

Ladies Shoes are one hottest items on the market, as the demand for them is always high and it will be sought after in every generation. Ladies Shoes can define a woman’s fashion and style sense even her personality and a good looking shoes can often increase the confidence of the user. In the earlier times there were limited designs of shoes available for both men and women. Despite that fact, the fashion industry has developed very drastically and expanded in both availability and designs. Today there are varieties of ladies shoes for every occasion. Ladies shoes is available for all season, no matter whether it is rainy season or winter season or summer season. The Footwear industry has designed and produced comfortable and stylish footwear for every lady.

Black Ladies Shoes

There are many things a woman needs to consider about when choosing the right and best Ladies Shoes for their needs, especially with such a huge variety of styles on offer. Here are 10 tips in helping you choose :

1. Know your size
It may seem obvious, but many women suffer discomfort because they don’t know their exact shoe size. Every woman’s feet are different, and the generic sizes don’t necessarily give you the best fit. Like clothing manufacturer’s sizes, women’s shoe sizes can vary dramatically – a size five in one shop or retailer may be very different from a size five from an online supplier. Remember that the right width is just as important, so look for a supplier that offers a range of width fittings and take the time to get your feet measured accurately. A pair of wide fit shoes could make all the difference in comfort.

2. The importance of a good fit
Following on from the issue of the correct size is the correct fit. This doesn’t just apply to your foot – if you’re buying a pair of boots, for example, you’ll also have to consider your calf fitting or the length of your leg to ensure the boot fits properly. A badly fitting pair of shoes will be uncomfortable and will not look their best.

3. Budget
Know your budget. A really good quality pair of shoes that may cost a little more will last you much longer and be a better investment in the long term than a cheap pair that falls apart after only a couple of weeks.

4. Occasions
If you’re looking for a pair of women’s shoes for a special occasion, take into account the type of event you are attending (an open-air event is probably not the best place to wear high heels!). Consider that you may be on your feet for a long time, so again, comfort is just as important as looks.

5. Leather or man made?
This is really down to personal choice, but leather has the advantage in that it is much more durable than man made fabrics and will stretch quickly to fit your foot perfectly. However, if you’re looking for summer style sandals, fabric uppers can be much more comfortable to wear, keeping your feet cooler than leather uppers.

6. Colour
Again, the colour you choose is very much your personal decision, but take into account what kind of outfits you will be wearing the shoes with, your own skin tone and colouring and whether your designer shoes are just a one-season fashion buy or something that you will want to wear again and again. If you’re looking for something that will transcend fleeting fashions, opt for the traditional black or brown as these tend to be perennial favourites.

7. Open or closed toe styles?
For summer wear, nothing beats the comfort and freedom of a pair of sandals. They allow your feet to ‘breathe’ and are comfortable for all-day wear. However, if you are in a more formal setting, a classic pair of ladies court shoes suggests a more professional attitude. Shoes can reflect a great deal about the wearer, so consider what kind of impression you want to make.

8. Formal or informal?
Formal women’s shoes cover a wide range of styles, from classic courts to kitten heels. For a really stunning look, a pair of designer’s shoes with high heels combined with formal evening wear really can give an outfit that ‘wow’ factor. Less formal wear can be anything from a pair of summer sandals to knee length boots worn with jeans. Those same boots combined with a business suit can cross the boundary between formal and informal, but again, choose a pair that fit perfectly to maximize both comfort and looks.

9. Buying online
Once you have your exact size (including the correct width fitting), it’s easy to buy women’s shoes online. Online suppliers also tend to carry a wider range of fittings and can be cheaper than many high street stores, so it’s worth checking out the Internet for a good pair of designer shoes.

10. Returns policies
If you’re not happy with your designer shoes, you may want to return them for a refund or exchange them for an alternative pair of women’s shoes. Before you make your initial purchase, check the returns policy carefully, as some companies will not accept returns once the shoes have been worn.

If you are planning to purchase a pair of ladies shoes then you must keep in mind some important points above for maximal satisfaction. If not, then the shoes will probably end off somewhere in the closet of basement.

Winter Boots

November 13, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Winter Snow Boots

Winter boots are necessary for the upcoming winter season where sandals and running shoes often go into the closet or attic. When you get out in the market to shop for winter boots, the first thing to consider is the material used in manufacturing. Leather is perhaps the most popular material used in production of winter boots, because not only it comes in great fashionable designs, it provides you protection against cold and wet weather. Whenever you’re making a purchase make sure you choose a pair of leather boots made of genuine leather.

Snow White Winter Boots

Sheepskin lined snow boots are also highly popular among fashionable women these days, and a primary example of this fact is the current demand of Uggs. If you are particularly concerned about protecting your feet form catching cold, then you would be better off buying winter boots that are internally lined. To tell the truth, if you remain outdoors in winter for long, no matter which boots you’re wearing, you will be susceptible to catching cold unless your boots are in-lined. Boots with internal fur or faux fur lining can be a great choice to remain warm even in freezing temperature.

Brown Men Winter Boots

You even have the option of getting your cold weather boots weatherproof in order to improve their looks and functionality. Doing so every year can prolong your boots’ useful life, meanwhile they will also get cleaned from dust particles that tend to incorporate over a long period of time. Now, you have two alternatives, either you can weatherproof your pair of boots at home or get it done by professionals. Opting for the later will be more effective but might not be cost-efficient.

While some stores offer to clean up your boots free of cost, you can still weatherproof a pair of weather-beaten snow boots by yourself by adhering to the instructions. Remember that you should give some time to the boots to settle after they have been weatherproofed so that when you wear them they are in excellent condition.

Sporto Winter Boots

There are broadly two types of winter boots, namely, knee-high and ankle-high winter boots. Knee-high boots have been in the thick of things in female fashion circles since they were first introduced. These classical boots go one step ahead and protect your legs from chilly weather on top of warming your feet. You can pull your jeans over your knee-high boots during day, and in evening you can get a funky look by pulling them over your trousers.

And now a word or two about a common problem faced by women about wearing knee-high boots. Most women buy a pair of knee-high boots only to find later on that they’ve paid for the wrong size. You should keep in mind that there shouldn’t be any extra space inside the boot around the ankle area, or else you’ll find it hard to walk smoothly. Also ensure that the sole of the boots are non-slippery.

Winter boots for women and children can be a hard decision to come to, with so many styles and colors to choose from. Knee high boots with heels should be reserved for teenagers and adults, as many children lack the coordination to walk properly and their feet are still forming an arch. Heeled boots can cause the arch to fall if sufficient support is not found in women and children’s boots. For women who will wear their winter boots with skirts, it is best to choose a knee high boot. This is to protect the skin from windburn as well as provide for warmth. There are many knee high boots in leather and nubuck that are available from many designers and manufacturers that offer warmth and are still stylish enough to be worn without embarrassment. For women who will wear their boots with jeans, a leather ankle boot would be sufficient to have the appearance of boots, but will also not place as much material that does not breathe around the foot. For children who will wear their boots only outside on the way to and from school, warm winter galoshes are recommended. If your child will wear the boots more often, a stylish pair of warm boots can be found in numerous designs and colors.

Moon Boots

November 5, 2011 By admin

Rainbow Moon Boots

Moon boots as a brand shot into prominence in the late 1970s and have been able to maintain a creditable run of success over the years. The brand did slip into some obscurity in between but has recovered lost ground to emerge as one of the preferred brands last year.

Pink Moon Boots

The reasons for this are not far to seek and they are:

a) Moon footwear when initially launched was not meant to appeal to fashion conscious folks designed as they were primarily for the snow slopes. The creator of this brand who took inspiration from the boots worn by Neil Armstrong would have certainly not bargained for the tremendous appeal it would enjoy amongst the public. The fact that there was no distinction of left or right boots helped a great deal from the practical perspective. The warmth and comfort provided by this brand immediately established a connect with the public and people looking for functionality soon realised that they should forsake brands that looked fashionable but were not good enough to prevent frozen toes.

Winter Moon Boots

b) The brand was quick enough to spot the opportunity and utilised the services of expert designers to give it new forms and designs. Many famous brands now have their own customised version of Moon footwear with the result the brand is now seen as much on the streets as it is on snow slopes.

c) Contrary to popular perception about ski shoes being heavy, Moon shoes are quite lightweight and this makes the transition from using them for skiing to ‘after-ski’ purposes convenient and relaxing as well. It is natural that you do not want to wear something heavy after a round of skiing and would want to look for something that is light and easy for your aching feet.

d) Good quality Moon boots are also resistant to water and that is of great help. Maintaining warm and dry feet during day time even as the weather is bad and damp is of crucial importance and that can be achieved comfortably with this brand of boots.

White Moon Boots

These shoes are especially wonderful for children given the thick sole and great insulation that is provided around the ankles. Despite the availability of many other types of shoes that look and appear to be very stylish, when it comes to practical use for children having to walk through snow, this brand emerges as a great alternative and has been time tested. They are also effective as an alternative for hiking boots. We all know that hiking boots can be quite expensive and how kids can easily outgrow them.

The Internet has made shopping for Moon Boots easier than ever. From wherever you can access the Internet, you can search for the right size and style that meet your needs. While you can find Moon Boots at several online stores, it’s crucial to verify that the boots are indeed the original footwear.
