Overview

Hawkins is a footwear brand founded in 1850 by George Thomas Hawkins in Northampton, England. Its history includes producing riding boots, military boots, and mountain boots, and the brand’s mountain boots are reported to have been used during the first ascent of Everest in 1953. In Japan, ABC-MART (then ITC) became the exclusive domestic distributor in 1986 and acquired the trademark rights in 1995. Hawkins is now an in-house brand of ABC-MART, offering products centered on leather casual shoes, as well as business shoes, walking shoes, comfort shoes, sneakers, and footwear for children.
