Our Story
Our dedication to craftsmanship and innovation is driven by our desire for all our customers to experience the joy of pain-free walking.
The legacy of Gilbert & Lisson
The name Gilbert & Lisson reflects a powerful connection between history, innovation and place. ‘Gilbert’ honours Sir Gilbert de Sandford, whose visionary ingenuity in 13th-century London revolutionised urban life by introducing the city’s first piped water supply – a symbol of progress and transformation. ‘Lisson’ celebrates the vibrant history and cultural richness of Lisson Grove, in the Marylebone area where our business has thrived for decades.
Together in Gilbert & Lisson, the names represent a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation and a deep connection to the community that inspires and sustains us.
