Ankle Biter Boots

HebTroCo

£350

A proper pair of daily boots for life on roads, pavements and city streets. Made exclusively for us by William Lennon Co, England’s last remaining heavy boot-maker. The Ankle Biters are a six-hole heavy-duty ankle boot made in an ox-blood Horween chrome tanned leather and featuring a replaceable Vibram wedge sole. Constructed using the traditional boot-making techniques including brass-screwed sole, still one of the strongest methods around. The Ankle Biters are tough as nails, comfortable underfoot, and fully repairable. Originally made for men working in quarries, Lennon’s boots were sold on

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HEBTROCO LTD, number 09958194. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
