The Brasher Story

Brasher was founded by Chris Brasher, the Olympic gold medallist and master-mind of the London Marathon.

His philosophy was simple: "Why can't walking boots be as comfortable as trainers?"

In 1978, Chris designed the perfect walking boot – with a lightweight cushioned upper based on a last from the most comfortable running shoe on the market. The brasher boot was quickly adopted by walkers as the definitive boot for walking in the British Isles, particularly for its inherent comfort, support and lightweight construction.

Brasher now produce a full range of walking boots, shoes and sandals crossing the 3 categories of Mountain, Trekking and Active, supplemented by a comprehensive range of walking poles and socks.
