The Blank Piece of Paper
The Buckbootz benchmark for dependability, durability, value and service all starts from a blank piece of paper.

Story Of Buckbootz
The concept of Buckbootz started with a blank piece of paper on which all the shortcomings which bedevilled outdoor safety footwear were poured. These shortcomings were mainly due to poor-quality components (a hangover from the days when most safety boots were cheap and not very cheerful, almost always black) and poor-quality construction. The boots were uncomfortable, cold, steel toe caps hurt, and soles frequently parted from the uppers, and that was when you could get the boots.
Buckbootz was formed, with the simple solution to focus on designing and producing the highest quality outdoor safety boots available and backing premium products with premium service. This strategy worked.However you cannot write a cheque made payable to “credibility”. It has to be earned and as Tue Mantoni, former CEO of Triumph Motorcycles, said – “it’s worth remembering how long it takes to be an overnight success”.
The company expanded its business model to mainland Europe and set up a new company in the Netherlands in conjunction with a Dutch business family headed by Kees van den Beukel. Buckler Boots B.V. has taken the Buckbootz concept to an ever-expanding network of dealers on the continent.
By adhering to the original principles, Buckbootz has carved out a special place in the market. The products are renowned for their strength, comfort, and durability, while also bringing new ideas and product developments to the premium safety boot sector. Prominent among these is the Buckbootz neoprene/rubber safety wellington, which has gone on to become the No.1 product of its type in Europe.Buckbootz UK is now handled by five sales personnel, and the products are distributed exclusively through a network of more than 2,000 merchant customers. When you see the Buckbootz logos on any footwear product you can be assured that you are looking at some of Europe’s premier work boots; no short cuts just total focus on quality, strength and durability with the kind of understated style you get when you blend the very best components and craftsmanship with classical and innovative designs.
