Nokian footwear in the UK Re: Wellies. Can anyone help?? (1 Viewer)

I’ll give this another go!

What you have on your feet is as important as the clothes you wear. In dry weather and so the ground is mostly dry, walking type boots (or trainers if that’s what you preferred to use) will do.

But, when the ground is waterlogged and muddy, most people usually break out the Wellies of one kind or another. I don’t recon my Dunlop Argyles are that comfortable for a days walking.

So remembering a Finnish company that makes an orienteering boot – the Trimmi Bogtrotter - I have now tracked them down. The company is Nokian Footwear.

I believe they export to the USA, Canada and Europe, but have been unable to find an importer for the UK.

It’s a long shot but you never know.

Is anyone familiar with the brand in the UK and if so have an address of the importer?

Details of the boot I’m looking out for is Here –

Hi javva,

Googling got http://www.peglers.co.uk/oldsite/wellingtons.html (and many other 'hits' - try 'boots nokian uk' and you may find a closer stockist).

Andy.

EDIT; - http://tinyurl.com/9exy8 is a Google search with about 115 'hits'.

Thanks to you all for your help.

I have managed to find the address of the company which I think may be the importers for Nokian. I will let you know how I get on.

The Trimmi Bogtrotters I knew about as they were a big thing in the 70’s in outdoor pursuit circles.

I hope you had a look at the Nokian link.

Their boots, and particularly the ones I’m looking for, are made with walking boot comfort in mind and so I think would be ideal for pastimes like bird watching.
