The British Boot Company

This place is awesome and I love it. I luckily stumbled on it visiting London for the first time. Authentic is the best way to describe it. Nick helped me pick out a pair of original gripfast steel toe shoes that were apparently 1 of 12 pairs made in this beautiful burgundy rub off color. I can’t speak highly enough about the shop or the shoes I bought. I can’t wait to get back, but in the meantime they ship to the US so hell yes for British Boot Company.

I left the store with this amazing pair of gripfast shoes. One of a kind 90s stock! Nick was really helpful and passionate about all the shoes. He could tell a lot about each brands backstory. It was a lovely experience and I will definitely come back here.

I have been a loyal Dr Marten wearer for over 30 years and it has always been a dream of mine to someday visit the British Boot Company in London. I have two adult Children that are now loyal to the Dr Marten brand along with Solovair. My Wife and Daughter came to London 8 years ago and purchased a pair of Solovair’s for me that I still wear to this day. Flash forward to 2022 my Wife and I planned a trip to London, on my to do list was to visit the British Boot Company and purchase a pair of Made in England Dr Martens. When we arrived they had just opened and we were the first customers of the day, the gentleman working was beyond helpful and knowledgeable and was willing to look through the store and basement for the right size for me as I have big feet so finding a pair in my size is difficult. 5 minutes in the basement and he re-emerged with a pair of vintage NOS Red Dr Martens, perfect size, in fact they are identical to a pair I had outgrown as a young adult, some would say it was meant to be! I would highly recommend that if you are a hardcore Dr Marten lover to visit the British Boot Company. Nothing but Love for this place and I will be back.

The expertise of the staff & quality of the products make this the go to shop in London for quality, British made footwear. Step back in time and speak to shop employees whom are helpful, personal and of course knowledgeable, you can feel they are doing the job they love and that enthusiasm is priceless to me, the consumer. I personally dealt with Colin , he selected the prefect size for me in the most beautiful boots I’ve owned for a long long time. However, I had the pleasure of speaking to Nick, the owner also, again the enthusiasm and dedication, well we can all learn from these guys, second to none. If I was you I would be heading to this shop asap because if you love boots , your missing out on something if you don’t visit these guys.

This shop not only has vintage boots made in England the experience shopping there was amazing. You tell them what you are looking for and they come back with amazing boots. Like they got into the deepest recess of your mind and found not what you said but what you didn’t know existed. 3 of us walked in with only 1 wanting a pair and 3 of us left with a pair and 1 with 2 pairs.
I will fly back to shop here! From CA

Hi Bootlovers! I have got this pair of Vintage Gladiator Beauties today. High quality proper British shoes & boots in this tiny,stylish shop. Nick is very helpful guy who sold this nice one for me. Highly recommended shop anyone who likes quality made, durable and stylish shoes & boots.

Thank You

This has got to be one of my favourite stores in London, or maybe in the whole world. It’s a small independent family-run business with an amazingly wide selection of boots. The moment I stepped into the store I felt very welcomed by the two lads. The selection they have is amazing and they sell some awesome rare vintage pairs. Nick is very knowledgeable and passionate about boots, which clearly shows. He was helpful and provided excellent personal care, attention and advice. I was looking for a pair of black Solovairs, but one of them was just a tiny bit too tight. Nick was kind enough to put it in a stretcher for a few minutes, which made a world’s difference.

I’ve just purchased the perfect boot. Thanks again for the help and expertise. I will definitely come back again!

Came in to the store via a recommendation, left it with a pair of stompers that are one of a kind! Would have left with another pair, but sizes were limited. Colin was amazing! He meticulously took me through several pairs of shoes, walked me through my paces (pun intended 🥾😁), extremely knowledgeable, and we eventually landed on probably the best Docs I have ever owned. Once I put them on, the leather hugged against my feet and ankles. They were so comfortable! I have worn Docs and Solovair since 91, and have gone through my standard pairs and colors, but hands down, these are my favorites. The custom and vintage selection is solid. Sizes vary, so this is hit or miss, but the selection is desirable. I came in from L.A. so If one can make it to the store, I highly recommended it, such a great experience. Looking at a few other pairs online, as well as, will be heading back in to the store sometime later this year for another pair or two!
