This storm cloud grey long boot from Rieker zips neatly up your calf to end just below the knee. While the smooth long toe of the vamp and 4.5cm heel create a sense of feminine elegance, this is relaxed by the deliberately creased synthetic leather and elasticated knitted cuff which run up the leg, both of which add a more casual style. Starting at the zip and wrapping around both the front and back of the ankle, broad straps of leather-textile unite in a silver ring on the outside of the foot, completed by a silver buckle which allows for some adjustment of fit. Another interesting detail on 93756 is a circle of leather from which a band runs into the boot, stitched into the knitted cuff. Despite being a long boot the thermoplastic elastomer from which the sole is made makes it incredibly light and effortless to wear. The sole has a layered effect with stitching visually linking it to the upper and together with the ridge-effect on the heel the overall look is one of rustic-chic. It’s not all about style though; 93756 is lined with a warm woolly textile and incorporates RiekerTex technology, making them shower proof and ideal for those cool wet Autumn days.

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.
