History

Thomas Rogerson started his business in 1905, when the need was for heavy, durable footwear giving protection from the environment and long wear. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, one of Thomas’ sons Jack developed the business further in Scotland, with the opening of quality shoe shops in??Kelso??and??Galashiels.

During the late 1960’s Jack’s son Paul joined the business after studying at Northampton Boot and Shoe College, and in 1976 Paul opened the??Peebles??shop, which was refitted in a modern style and new ranges of shoes were introduced to combat the decline in the boot trade. One of the brands introduced was Mephisto, a good, hardwearing, French walking shoe with excellent fitting properties.

In the early 1990’s Paul opened the??Edinburgh??shop in Rose Street, originally selling only Mephisto, followed shortly after by the UK’s first??Ecco??shop, also in Rose Street.

Since then we have grown to 14 shops in total, and the business is now run by Paul’s children William and Sarah, supported by a strong team of approaching 160 people.

Now

The business continues to grow organically, based on the principle of providing quality footwear which represents both quality and value for money. We are different from many other footwear retailers in terms of the breadth of our range, stocking many styles and brands unique to our business. We go to great lengths to source the best and most interesting shoes for our customers, principally from Europe.

The business operates various formats, namely our multi-brand business Fine Rogerson Footwear where we sell a wide range of quality branded products.
