Dunham Shoes, Boots, and Hiking Boots

Dunham's boots go back over a century to Brattleboro, Vermont where in 1885 George and Charles Dunham first opened the "Dunham Brothers" shoe store to sell their hand crafted footwear. This was a time when pioneers lived to explore and challenge the outdoors. Serving the needs of those pioneers is what inspired the Dunham Brothers to create Dunham Bootmakers.

In 1998, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. acquired the Dunham Bootmakers brand. The same commitment the Dunham Brothers dedicated to making shoes for people who live, work and play outdoors continues to guide this brand today. As a New Balance Performance brand, Dunham features the latest technologies and ongoing innovations.

And, now more than ever, Dunham fits. They make boots and shoes that are lightweight, comfortable and inspired by the world outside. And with an extensive range of sizes and widths, they literally fit better too. Dunham has always felt that boots and shoes that fit better will perform better. They are so driven by that belief that some of their boots and shoes are available in as many as 87 size/width combinations. Dunham is as passionate about fit as they are about the great outdoors.

In fact, Dunham is in collaboration with Backpacker Magazine to be the exclusive footwear sponsor of Backpacker’s 2006 "Get Out More" tour. For the sixth straight year, Backpacker's "Get Out More" tour will visit 60 cities around the country to bring the excitement of outdoor adventure to the doorsteps of thousands of hiking and camping enthusiasts. Dunham will work with Backpacker to provide expert advice and product information on footwear for hikers, campers and outdoors lovers worldwide.
