The history of the brand's origins dates back to the 19th century, when a small family business was focused on the development and production of footwear for hunting and sports. Translated from English, Crosby means "to walk quickly." These were models designed for active use.
Over time, they became popular far beyond Scotland. The gradual development of the family business made it possible to expand production and enter the international market. In many ways, the company's success was due to the development of athletics and sports.

In connection with the development of competing firms and not particularly skillful management of the brand, its popularity began to weaken. However, with the advent of new designer Jason Mark Harris, the company found a second wind. It was bought by the famous American corporation Analpa. Inc., which not only brought it back to prominence, but also consolidated its leading position in its segment.
