INTERIOR COMFORT. EXTERIOR PERFORMANCE
Expertly Designed Outdoor Footwear from Scotland – Built for Performance, Comfort, and Durability
At our design studio just outside Edinburgh, in the scenic foothills of the Pentland Hills, we create premium outdoor footwear engineered from the inside out. Inspired by Scotland’s rugged terrain and unpredictable weather, our boots and shoes are developed and tested in real mountain conditions – from windswept glens to rocky summits.
Born in Scotland. Tested by Storms. Built to Perform.
Our footwear is truly stormborn – crafted to withstand the harshest environments. Each pair combines the finest Italian full-grain leathers, high-performance Vibram outsoles, and an advanced three-layer membrane system that is both recyclable and PTFE-free – making our boots sustainable and environmentally conscious without compromising performance.
Precision Fit, Exceptional Comfort – The Combination Last Shape
At the heart of every pair lies our unique Combination Last Shape – a design innovation that ensures a secure anatomical heel fit paired with a generous, comfort-focused forefoot. This signature fit is the result of over 35 years of expertise and more than 75,000 foot measurements, allowing us to create footwear that truly fits.
Intelligent Flex Grading for the Right Support
We take a clear and logical approach to flex, grading every boot and shoe from Level 1 to Level 5. Whether you're looking for flexible walking boots or stiff-soled mountain boots, our flex rating system helps you quickly find the right level of support and movement for your outdoor activity.
Over 35 Years of Footwear Innovation & Development
With decades of hands-on experience and data from tens of thousands of feet, we’ve refined the interior comfort and exterior performance of every product. Our mission has always been simple: to build the best-fitting, most durable, and high-performing outdoor footwear for people who live and breathe the outdoors.
THE MONARCH OF THE GLEN
We are Scotland's only technical footwear brand and like the Monarch of the Glen we are very proud of our wilderness and our heritage.
THE TOOLS OF OUR TRADE
Our boots are crafted by hand. The artisan skills passed down from generation to generation simply cannot be replicated by a CAD machine or 3D printer. Each boot has approximately 54 separate components and we use the highest quality and responsibly sourced European materials, outsoles and hardware.
FOUR SEASONS IN ONE DAY
We have watched the seasons change for many years. We know that the Scottish climate places high demands on our products. Our handmade boots have crossed bogs, snow and rocks during winter, spring, summer and autumn and everything in between. Each part has a function and every design detail serves a purpose. We know what it takes for our footwear to experience nature in any weather, all year round.
FOUNDER - GORDON FRASER
Firsty, thank you for visting our website. Having worked in the outdoor industry all of my life from my early beginnings in Oban on the west coast of Scotland I have been obsessed with mountains and the function and design of technical outdoor footwear. I have always appreciated the complexity of fit and why it should not be compromised. I created and founded ANATOM Footwear 16 years ago to give a fresh perspective in the very-fast moving and ever-changing world we live in today. I want ANATOM to be a rock of stability. That is why I approach design from the inside, out and our mantra is "Interior comfort. Exterior Performance". We do not change things just for the sake of it, and all of our footwear can be easily stretched to accommodate wider feet or bunions which seem so common these days.
Enjoy the journey!
