Aigle Boots and Outdoor Apparel

Aigle is a renowned French heritage brand celebrated worldwide for its high-quality protective outerwear, hunting and equestrian gear, and handcrafted natural rubber boots. Founded in 1853 by the American entrepreneur Hiram Hutchinson in Montargis, France, the company bought Charles Goodyear's vulcanization patent to make waterproof footwear and apparel, originally under the name 'A l'Aigle' honoring the American eagle.

Aigle's famous natural rubber boots are predominantly handcrafted at its historical factory in Ingrandes-sur-Vienne, France, maintaining artisan rubber-making traditions. Other apparel, footwear, and accessories in the collection are manufactured across an international network of specialized partners in Europe and Asia.

Today, Aigle is owned by the Swiss retail and fashion holding company MF Brands Group (formerly Maus Frères SA), which also controls international labels such as Lacoste, Gant, and The Kooples. Note that while 'Aigle' is the name of a town in Switzerland and appears in other commercial entity names, the heritage outdoor apparel and footwear brand sold in Spain belongs entirely to MF Brands Group.
