Thomas Cook Boots for Country Living
Thomas Cook Boots - Aussie Bootmaking Since 1924
Thomas Cook boots come from a genuine Aussie tradition of quality footwear built for real use. The brand started with boots long before clothing and has spent over 100 years honing craftsmanship you can trust in town, on the farm or in the bush.
Origin of the Brand
Thomas Cook, who came from Fremantle, Western Australia, began as a bootmaker in an inner suburb of Melbourne in 1924. He gave up chasing a career as a boxer and instead founded a shoe company with his close friend Jim Murray. Their company built a reputation for durable, well-made boots that stood up to real work. That focus on quality grew over generations into the Thomas Cook Boot and Clothing Company that is recognised across Australia today - and is now run by the fourth generation of the Cook Family. Allingtons, recognizing the aligning values we have with Thomas Cook Boot & Clothing, have been stocking their products since we opened in 1978.
