WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
A craftsman of his time, Rossi Boots founder, Arthur Rossiter brought a legend to life when he started making premium leather sports boots in his backyard shed.
2 years after, Arthur built his first factory in Adelaide, South Australia. He then officially formed the company ‘Rossiter’s Pty Ltd’ which started a family tradition spanning over 110 years and four generations.

THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY WWI & WWII
As the first world war hit, the Rossiter’s provided the footwear for The Australian Army. Arthur made it his focus to create a comfortable boot for the Australian soldiers in order to play his part in the war effort.
Rossiter’s again supplied the Australian Army with 110,000 pairs of army boots to soldiers in WWII which remains an enormous source of pride among the Rossi Boots team to this day.
