We all know that Brasher make some of the best hillwalking boots available, and now they can prove it. The increasingly popular brand of walking boots announced record sales for September, making their sales count an exceptional 87% up on the same time last year…quite popular indeed, especially considering the prevailing economic conditions!
Working for an outdoor shop, I can see that Brasher are certainly amongst our best selling hiking boots, quite a tribute to the brand we feel as there are so many excellent walking boots out there!
Increasing investment in product development and marketing are behind the growth, according to Brasher’s Managing Director Andy Loeber who adds:
“In the testing economic climate, it is rewarding to see that we are driving the brasher brand to a broader consumer base. Our objective is to excel in all areas of product development, marketing and customer service, and our dedication to supply solutions to the specific UK consumer needs is gaining Brasher a significant edge.”

My old Brashers took my right across the country on Wainwright’s Coast to Coast a few years ago. I’m sure that without them, my feet would never have carried me all that way! And yes, they did get dipped in both the Irish and North seas!

…what a way to test them! That is some serious walking that you did there.
I hope you did have a couple of breaks though?!
Brasher Hillmaster’s do the job that they were designed for really very well. It’s funny how rarely we say those words…I’m at risk of saying the old line: “things aren’t made like they used to be” – well it appears that Brasher’s are…

I wish I could say the same about both pairs of Brasher Azuma Boots that I bought as both pairs started to leak after 4 weeks of every day wear.
They are over priced and over rated.
Ive now bought a pair of Scarpa boots.
