What is the “B.G.S. COLLECTION”?Short for “Boots, Ankle, General Service,” this collection revives the so-called “Ammunition Boots” supplied to the British Army from the 1880s to the 1950s.

A traditional yet practical military footwear collection that continues to hold strong appeal.SANDERSA prestigious British shoemaker with over 150 years of history in Northampton, the heartland of English footwear.
