About The British Boot Company
A shop with a proud tradition…
The British Boot Company started life in 1851, making and selling hobnail work boots… fast forward to 1958 and the shop became the first retailer to sell Dr Martens, quickly followed by Solovair and Grinders in 1965. The shop very soon became a Mecca for skinheads and punks from all over the world.
Then in the late 1970s, the shop's charismatic owner, Alan Roumana, formed a close association with the local band "North London Invaders" who went on to become the legendary pop band "Madness". Not only did the band buy all their footwear from the shop, it also featured the shop in several of their videos. Famous bands such as "The Sex Pistols", "The Buzzcocks", "UK Subs" and "The Business" all quickly became regular customers.
If we haven't got it, it doesn't exist...
The shop has become the main UK stockist for famous English names such as Grinders, Solovair, George Cox brothel creepers and Gladiators, selling a huge range and variety of all these brands. It now attracts dedicated and new customers alike from all over the world, coming to the shop because of its unrivalled knowledge and service.
