Merrell does it again, with a rustic-style weather proof boot, ergonomically designed for women. Available in a tan (J45932) or black (J45728) combination of leather and suede with a wool-white fake fur collar, these boots boast some unusual and attractive features. Where two sections of the leather upper meet a stitched ridge wraps itself around the toe and along the sides of the boot. This is echoed by the leather vamp which is edged with double track stitching. Tremblant Pull-on Polar Waterproof from Merrell has dual elastic fastenings with open-slit suede sides that wrap closed over each other. An elasticated loop that starts on the inside of the boot and wraps around the back of the foot to fasten around a toggle on the ankle; this elasticated fastening allows for flexibility of fit and maximises your comfort and freedom of movement. A thick strip of plaited cotton is stitched into the back of the boot, forming a pull up tag which assists with fitting. On either side of the heel, three contrast coloured triangles are stitched into the suede adding to a strong aesthetic. The leather upper of Tremblant Pull-on Polar Waterproof incorporates M Select DRY, an impermeable membrane that wicks water away, letting no moisture in but remaining breathable so as to prevent the build-up of a sweaty atmosphere. Stitched to the inside of the leather is 200 grams of insulating M Select WARM, a textile that uses your natural body heat to generate warmth. This low bulk insulation makes these shoes lightweight and walker friendly. These sturdy and stylish boots have a removable EVA foot bed that has a furry textile lining which is soft underfoot. Extra padding is incorporated into the stress point of the heel without hindering the flexibility of the insole. A thick, two-tone rubber sole wraps up and over the lip of the upper, protecting the leather from moisture and scuffing. This has an M Select GRIP outsole which has a robust tread effect perfect for Winter weather.
About Rogerson Shoes:
Who we are and how is it that we came to be so passionate about shoes?
Like many classics our story revolves around one or two ambitious pioneers, a love affair, war, a family drama, conflict and its resolution. What laces this story together is a connection with the land, and a need to provide for the people of it.
Let’s set the scene of how our business was born. It’s 1905 and Thomas Rogerson sits concentrating over his tools in a shed at the end of a bridge in Rothbury. Motivated by the desire to win the hand of Isabelle, he needs to learn a trade. And so it was that he learnt to repair shepherd’s boots.
Skip forward over 100 years from this humble beginning, and here we are; from robust, carefully crafted tackety boots designed to tackle the heather hilltops, to on-trend trainers in a spectrum of colours, designed to tackle the concrete jungle! Originally sold under canvas at agricultural shows, by mail order or taken directly to farms. Now, displayed using bright light boxes in our high street stores, or sold via easy on-line orders that will arrive at your door.
What’s new?
Our mission now is to stock a vibrant and compelling choice of shoes, boots, sandals, slippers and bags. Made using traditional and progressive manufacturing techniques and a wide range of materials from Gore-Tex to vegetable tanned leathers, our selection is diverse. Ranging from fun, quirky, edgy and joyful designs, to sophisticated classics, to practical waterproof adventure shoes and boots for enjoying the hills.
Different from other footwear retailers in terms of the breadth of our range, we stock many styles that are unique to our business, including colour combinations, prints and lasts. Prioritising pricing, quality and comfort we work on the principle that well-made shoes wear better, are more of a pleasure to wear, and ultimately, are less wasteful.
Passionate people
The Rogerson’s ethos is one of positivity, and we aim to employ happy people who enjoy their work and convey this in their attitude to others. With weekly training on everything from leather, construction techniques and technical features, our staff aim to facilitate a friendly and efficient shopping experience and will go out of their way to bring you all the shoes you fancy trying on! Alternatively, one of our 120 strong team of keen beans will carefully parcel them up for your online orders. We dispatch from both our central warehouse in the pretty town of Peebles, and from our 13 busy stores across Scotland.
