An Exclusive Preview of the New JSN Pro Waterproof Boots

When John Stanley Norris, the founder of John Norris of Penrith, set out in 2021 to create the ultimate hill boots, his vision was clear: to craft the best-performing and best-value boots on the market. John wasn’t just interested in making another pair of boots, he wanted to build something that could manage the toughest terrains while still being affordable for everyone.

To make this vision a reality, John took a hands-on approach, carefully selecting top manufacturers and ensuring only the finest materials and advanced membranes were used. His attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident in every step of the process setting a new standard for what hill boots could and should be.

After countless hours of field testing various designs, the perfect pair was finally ready in 2023. John then dedicated an additional 12 months to rigorous testing, putting the boots through their paces in the rugged countryside. The result? A pair of boots that didn’t just survive the wear and tear, they thrived.

Now, we’re thrilled to announce that the JSN Pro boots have officially launched! These boots aren’t just footwear; they’re a testament to John’s vision and dedication.

Martin Hopps - Slingley Gundogs

“I got a pair of the JSN Pro boots at the beginning of August, and right away, I was impressed by how lightweight they are. I needed a boot that could handle the warmer months at the start of the season but still be tough enough for winter, and these are ideal. I’m really pleased with how they’ve performed so far.”

“Since 2023, I’ve been putting these boots to the test, trekking over 1,000 miles across the rugged fells and mountains of the Lake District while walking my dogs. These boots have not only withstood the demanding terrain but have also provided exceptional comfort and grip, especially on wet surfaces. My feet have stayed dry in all conditions, which is a testament to their quality. To keep them in peak condition, I highly recommend applying mink oil regularly.

I was delighted to be asked to test the new John Norris JSN Pro 10” Waterproof Boots, and I’m genuinely impressed. I received them at the start of the fishing season, and since then, they’ve hardly been off my feet. Spending most of my time outdoors—whether fishing from the bank, out with my dog, or stalking in Scotland—these boots have proven their worth. They’re not only lightweight and incredibly comfortable, but they also offer excellent waterproof protection.”
