Who you’re buying from

Bareback has been family-run since Emma founded it in 2007. There’s a shop and a warehouse in Martley, Worcestershire, and a phone answered by people who know the boots. Orders are picked and packed by our own team, usually with something loud on — Elvis if Richard has his way, funk and soul if John’s won the radio battle.

Every pair of boots is conditioned by hand before we send it out. It takes a minute, and it means the leather turns up fed and looking gorgeous, not dry off the shelf. Only the best.
