AIGLE is a French outdoor and lifestyle brand founded in France in 1853 by American entrepreneur Hiram Hutchinson, with its origins in rubber boots made from natural rubber. Centered on bootmaking expertise cultivated at workshops in France, the brand offers boots, shoes, and apparel. It emphasizes functionality and durability for both natural and urban environments, and promotes an approach that considers environmental impact while enjoying experiences.

The brand’s mission is to allow everyone to experience life without leaving footprints other than footsteps.

LIVE FULLY, LIVE RESPECTFULLY

• AIGLE Kids 1853

  A kids' collection offered by AIGLE separately from its adult-oriented range. Centered on children's outerwear and other items, it is designed around sustainability and responsible manufacturing, and explicitly states that 61% of its models use “responsible materials,” such as materials of natural origin, organic materials, and recycled materials. Shared patterns for adult and children's items enable matching outfits for families, positioning the collection as an extension of AIGLE's lifestyle offering across age groups.

• AIGLE Pro 2021

  AIGLE's derivative range developed for professional applications such as work sites. The products are treated as personal protective equipment (PPE), undergo rigorous testing, and are positioned as a range of safety shoes and boots compliant with EN 20345 under the oversight and certification of independent organizations. Their requirements (safety standards, protective performance, and durability expectations) differ from those for ordinary outdoor and lifestyle products, and the range serves to extend AIGLE's boot-making expertise into B2B and work environments.

  A dedicated line for professionals that meets safety standards
