Shooting is a sport with well established traditions and etiquette. For this reason, it is very important that particpants are dressed in the correct fashion.
Penrith, Cumbria (PRWEB) November 25, 2009
Shooting clothing and equipment retailers John Norris have joined the ongoing debate over the correct footwear for shooting. Opinion between Shooters is divided, with some favouring wellingtons and others preferring standard boots.
Traditionalists have argued that wellingtons, whilst not giving as much ankle support as boots, are seen more often on a shoot than boots. Others have highlighted the more practical nature of wellingtons, which are easily cleaned and help to keep the feet both warm and dry. Whilst some people prefer the sturdiness of a pair of shooting boots which allow them to swing their gun without losing their footing. Most huntsmen when out stalking deer wear boots because the terrain is so rough that they need the foot and ankle support when out hunting.
According to John Norris, who have over 30 years experience in the country clothing market say that people involved with a shoot, whether they be Shooting, Beating or Picking up, should choose whatever footwear they feel the most comfortable in. A spokesperson commented: “Shooting is a sport with well established traditions and etiquette. For this reason, it is very important that particpants are dressed in the correct fashion. There is much debate as to whether one should wear boots or wellingtons whilst shooting. Whilst boots may be considered to be more appropriate on most shoots, wellingtons are a much more practical solution for many people and in most circumstances they are considered to be acceptable.”
Continued: “Whatever your standpoint, all huntsmen need sturdy, robust footwear which will protect against thick mud and thorny ground. All of our boots and wellingtons come from leading manufacturers such as Hunter, Aigle, Beretta and Le Chameau, meaning that they are built to last.”
French brand Le Chameau has been making some of the finest boots for over 80 years, becoming synonymous with fine country living. John Norris stock a complete range of Le Chameau boots, including the popular Le Chameau Chasseur and Mouflon Boots.
By appointment to the Queen no less, Hunter Boots have been widely regarded to be among the finest around for over a decade. Their range is a popular choice amongst huntsmen, in particular, the Hunter Balmoral Royal and Balmoral Sovereign boots.
John Norris have vast experience in the retail of shooting clothing. The family run company sells their extensive range from a showroom in the Lake District, in addition to an online store at: http://www.johnnorris.co.uk .
