These ankle boots with their vintage-hipster feel are quite simply, gorgeous. They have a smooth uncomplicated vamp that flatters the shape of the foot and boasts a sexy burnished toe. This compliments the thick rustic thermoplastic rubber sole which is emphasised by contrast stitching around the upper and has a solid 5cm ridged heel. The upper of K1493 Bonie is made from a mixture of genuine and synthetic leather and nubuck with a discreet zip running down the inside of the boot. A relaxed patterned cuff wraps around the ankle of the boot, stitched to the upper on either side of the zip and to the inside of the shoe by a tag of leather. On the brown version of K1493 Bonie the cuff is finished with a paisley print and on the grey version a snake-skin print effect. Similarly, three thin silver studded and buckle-adjustable lengths of leather start at the zip and wrap around the cuff, adding an extra element of texture to the design. Not only are these boots a treat to look at but with their soft, warm textile lining they are a dream to wear. Go on, spoil yourself!

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.
