Our
Story

Dog Leap boots have been making footwear for well over 100 years, originally right in the heart of Newcastle city centre in the Newcastle Keep at the top of the ‘Dog Leap Stairs’.

The new generation is going back to the good old fashioned quality and craftsmanship of their forefathers by handcrafting these classic custom made boots.

DogLeap Boots is adapting to the changing landscape of manufacturing in the UK

The multitude of changes in the world in the last few years are making retail more difficult for small business.

Online we are struggling with higher digital advertising costs as all retail shifts towards ecommerce.

We firmly believe that investing in our staff, skill base and proving a great original product, at a great price—with great service, is the only way to continue to grow and prosper as a company.

So, rather than scaling back we are redoubling our efforts to provide you with more selection of top shelf UK truly handmade footwear —at a reasonable price.

To make this happen, we have invested in two newly reconditioned outsole stitchers one 45 years old, and one 65 years old, producing outstanding results.

Footwear to last a lifetime, and like no other on the market today.

All our staff benefit from each sale of every pair due to each member of staff having a stake in the turnover of the business.

Any modifications to styles, or fittings, please email us and we will gladly accommodate where possible.

Thank you for your support as we keep working to grow ethical and sustainable manufacturing here in the UK.
