Aigle footwear and apparel

Aigle is a historic French brand celebrated for its high-quality rubber boots and outdoor apparel. Founded in 1853 by American businessman Hiram Hutchinson in Montargis, France, the company revolutionized the footwear industry by applying Charles Goodyear's vulcanization process to rubber boots. Today, Aigle remains deeply rooted in its heritage, maintaining a major production facility in Ingrandes-sur-Vienne, France, where skilled craftsmen continue to hand-assemble its iconic boots.

While the rubber boots are famously 'Made in France,' the brand's broader apparel and accessory lines are manufactured in various locations globally to meet international demand. Since 2005, Aigle has been owned by the Swiss holding company Maus Frères SA, which manages the brand through its dedicated subsidiary, MF Brands Group. Under this ownership, Aigle has evolved into a global lifestyle brand with a strong presence in Europe and Asia, particularly known for its commitment to sustainability and its 'purpose-driven' corporate mission.
