Meet the Busby Team
Behind the Busby outdoor clothing brand are two designers, Benjie Davis and Hugo Davis, they have 15 years of experience in fashion design and involvement in the footwear industry. Together they have been the design team for Hugs & Co. footwear for 12 years and worked in the packaging design departments for household name FMCG products. Prior to that they have backgrounds in Architecture and fine art giving them over 20 years each in the world of design, a true passion they both share.
They are uniquely placed to now turn their attention to the Busby brand with their other great shared passion as a driving force; outdoor sports. Their 'short' list of favourite sports include skiing, hiking, ice luge, many other snow sports, racquet sports, equestrianism and other country activities. Its this love of the outdoors and adventure that has been poured into Busby.
The development of the Sport Utility Boot by Busby is from a combination of the designers passion for practical fashion design and the great outdoors. It has a simple dealer boot, or Chelsea boot, styled upper; perfect for to put on fast without the hassle of hiking boot laces. The sole is a result of a partnership with Vibram the top sole maker in the world, its tough rubber and grip pattern will take you anywhere you need to go. The leather is a sturdy product with water resistant capabilities, its combined with a technical interlining and another softer leather lining for comfort and durability. Then the signature red webbing pull tags ensure that the boot is easy to put on and uniquely recognisable as a Busby.
Both the Busby designers stand by our boots' impressive credentials. Benjie and Hugo find them perfect for days out hiking or in the snow in the mountains. The perform perfectly as yard boots in the mud of the countryside and equally can be worn in wet conditions in the urban jungle.
