SURE FOOTED INSPIRATION

WHEN SANDY WALLIS FAILED TO FIND ADEQUATE FOOTWEAR FOR HER LONG CORNISH DOG WALKS, SHE DEVELOPED HER OWN

Whenever Sandy, living in Perranporth, Cornwall, wants to take her beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback, Roscoe for a walk she has to deal with the rugged Cornish coastline, rolling countryside and endless beaches.

She struggled to find suitable footwear that would keep her feet warm and dry in the Cornish landscapes. “We walk in all weathers says Sandy. I just could not find a pair of boots that were comfortable and would keep my feet warm and dry. I found hiking boots just didn’t cope very well with those deep, muddy puddles that we always come across on our walks, and wellies were just not suitable for a 5 mile hike.” Sandy had an old pair of safety rigger boots in her cupboard at home, these boots were originally designed for the North Sea Oil Riggers.

She decided to give them a try because they were fully waterproof. “These boots were fabulous, although a little heavy” says Sandy.
