From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Browning Footwear is a manufacturer of work and safety footwear.
[edit] History
The Browning Arms Company was founded in Utah in 1927, with the current Headquarters in Morgan, Utah. It offers a wide variety of firearms, many based on the designs of John M. Browning, one of the more prolific firearms inventors. Other companies have manufactured nearly all of Browning’s designs. Browning is currently a fully owned subsidiary of Fabrique Nationale de Herstal of Belgium.
Browning introduced a line of hunting boots in 1968 and continued to design and manufacture footwear through outside vendors until 2001. In that year, a license agreement was reached with Connecticut based H.H. Brown Shoe Company, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, to manufacture Browning Footwear.
The product line included the John M. Browning collection, Field and Game series, and sporting and waterfowl lines. The line has grown to include Kangaroo leather boots, Rubber boots and waders, and upland game boots.
Browning Footwear utilizes patented technologies of H.H. Brown and partners with companies like Mossy Oak® and GORE-TEX®, to design footwear for all hunting conditions and terrain.
