Chatham Footwear

Chatham has been making British footwear since 1989, built on genuine sailing heritage rather than a borrowed nautical look. At Baks Menswear in Bournemouth, we stock Chatham deck shoes, boots and casual footwear.

We stock Chatham because it designs specifically for British coastal conditions, with salt-resistant leather and non-marking soles that generic deck shoe brands don't bother with.

The range covers deck shoes, Chelsea boots and casual leather styles, built for both the coast and everyday wear. Sizes typically run from UK 6 to 12.

Chatham is a British company, part of the Stuart Marsh Group since 2007, with over three decades of shoemaking experience behind the brand.

If you want footwear built for real British weather rather than a catalogue shoot, this is where to start.
