Our story

Family-run. Rider-led. Since 1997.

We started in 1997 and are proud to have established a brand reputation for style, durability and quality. Our Tuffa Boots are designed at home in Norfolk by our founder and manufactured in Portugal.

Born in Norfolk. Worn everywhere.
Our beginning

Based in Norfolk

Our base is set in the heart of rural Norfolk, surrounded by the countryside that has always been part of the Tuffa story. With horses and ponies on site, we remain closely connected to the equestrian world and to the riders who wear our boots every day.

How Tuffa has grown

1997

Michelle starts Tuffa in Norfolk, bringing a rider’s eye to fit and function.

Then

The range grows through close relationships with riders and specialist retailers.

Today

A new generation helps Tuffa remain independent, thoughtful and rider-led.

Not every rider is built the same. Neither are our boots.

Choose from slim fit, standard fit, wide fit, plus-size and made-to-measure options. Because comfort starts with a considered fit.
