About Norman Walsh
A long running history
At just 16, Norman Walsh himself made the shoes worn by Britain's 1948 Olympic team. He also made the shoes Roger Bannister wore to break the four-minute mile. Today the brand says it is the only sports shoe firm in British ownership that still makes its footwear in the UK.
The shoes
The line-up mixes heritage running shoes and trainers with casual styles for men and women. Leathers and suedes feature heavily, and each pair is put together by hand in Bolton. Retro running shapes sit next to newer designs, so there is something for collectors and for everyday wear.
Buying from normanwalsh.com
