An advertisement for Boots from 1911. Boots was established in 1849, by John Boot. [7] After his father's death in 1860, Jesse Boot, aged 10, helped his mother run the family's herbal medicine shop in Nottingham, [8] which was incorporated as Boot and Co. Ltd in 1883, becoming Boots Pure Drug Company Ltd in 1888.
In 1996, Boots stated they were making a £7.6 million investment in the Republic of Ireland at an announcement in the Clarence Hotel; the first store opened later that year. [2] In 1998, the Small Firm Association recommended to Boots that they should set up a company within Ireland for the Irish market. [ 3 ]

Brogan-like shoes, called "brogues" (from Old Irish "bróc" meaning "shoe"), were made and worn in Ireland and Scotland as early as the 16th century, and the shoe type probably originated in Ireland. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They were used by the Scots and the Irish as work boots to wear in the wet, boggy Scottish and Irish countryside. [ 3 ]
The Irish Shoe and Leather Workers' Union (ISLWU) was a trade union representing workers involved in shoemaking in Ireland. The union was founded on 1 January 1953, as a split from the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives (NUBSO), which was based in Britain. It initially consisted of the whole 5,000 members in the Republic of Ireland.
