Outdoor Footwear With more than 75 years of experience Ellis Brigham are at the cutting edge of UK mountain footwear retail. The founder of the company was one of the pioneers of boot manufacture and people travelled for miles to visit F. Ellis Brigham's Manchester shop and discuss nailing patterns and other specific requirements. For spring 2012 we have the UK’s largest outdoor footwear range, an unrivalled collection of 200 styles that is carefully designed to cater for all foot types and all outdoor activities. Our enthusiastic, mountain-active team in-store will lend expert advice and assistance, often using modern technologies including customised footbeds to achieve bespoke comfort. We can help find the perfect fit for your feet. Mountain Designed for steep and rugged terrain, these boots offer the support you need for mountaineering and year-round mountain walking.

Trek Delivering solid and reliable three season performance, Trek footwear is in its element on windswept ridges, hillside tracks and multiday backpacking adventures.
