We are
ROCKPORT
Rooted in craftsmanship. Reimagine for today.
ESTABLISHED IN 1971
Rockport was founded in the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts by a father and son duo. Their goal was to put comfort first, without compromising style.
INNOVATION IN COMFORT
Long before “comfort footwear” was a category, Rockport revolutionised how we move through life-pioneering the world’s first lightweight, rubber-soled casual shoe. By blending athletic innovation with classic design, Rockport set a new standard: performance, durability and timeless style, without compromise.
MADE IN PORTUGAL
Every pair is crafted in Portugal using premium leathers and meticulous construction. With details like full moccasin build, padded collars for comfort, and breathable linings, Rockport footwear is designed to go the distance – from city streets to off-trail escapes.
THE UMBWE LEGACY

UMBWE MAKES ITS DEBUT
The Umbwe boot launched in the ’90s and quickly gained cult status. Rugged, waterproof and versatile, it became a crossover icon – worn by explorers, embraced by subcultures, and recognised for its distinctive mic-toe silhouette and Vibram® grip.
2000’S
ARCHIVE ICON
Umbwe quietly phases out of production but cements itself as a sought-after archive style remembered by collectors, fans and heritage footwear communities.
