Grub’s Boots Triumphs as Family Business of the Year at Bolton News Business Awards 2025.
We are absolutely delighted to share that Grub’s Boots has been named Family Business of the Year at the Bolton News Business Awards 2025!
See the official announcement here:
This award is particularly special to us because it recognises what lies at the heart of everything we do — being a family business with deep roots in Bolton.
Our CEO, David Foster, said on the night:
“The family have been here a long time, since the 1800s. In fact when Bolton Wanderers won the FA Cup in 1958 Nat Lofthouse wore a pair of my grandfather’s boots! So we’ve gone from football boots to women’s shoes!”
From our beginnings in the 1800s to where we stand today, Grub’s Boots has always been about combining heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation. We’re proud to have carried our family story across generations — from making boots for football legends to creating the footwear our customers know and love today.

Thank You
This award is not just for us — it’s for our incredible team, our loyal customers, and everyone who has supported us along the way. We’re so proud to be a part of Bolton’s business community and to continue our journey as a family company with big ambitions.
Here’s to the future, and to making boots that carry our family legacy forward.
— The Grub’s Boots Family 👢❤️
