About the Founder​

Bert Hofhuis is a founder & entrepreneur that built a career in finance before becoming deeply interested in learning and sharing more about the world of work boots. Through MyBestWorkBoots, he provides valuable insights, ensuring that professionals find the right footwear to support their safety, comfort, and performance.


Originally from the Netherlands, Bert has an unnatural fondness for the colour orange, and a deep appreciation for cooler weather. When he is not in the office, you can find him mountain biking, reading The Economist or being chased around by his grandchildren. From hiking and camping to navigating the challenging landscapes in Africa, he appreciates the crucial role that reliable and durable footwear plays in outdoor adventures.


Bert’s passion for understanding high-quality footwear was sparked by his father’s career in the industrial footwear sector. This early exposure ignited his interest in the technical aspects of robust work shoes.

Driven by this passion, Bert founded MyBestWorkBoots, a company committed to offering comprehensive information on top-quality work boots for both men and women.

As the founder and guiding force behind the company, Bert recognises that selecting the right pair of boots is vital for comfort, safety, and efficiency—whether on a construction site, in a factory, or while tackling DIY projects at home. His team and he are dedicated to providing precise and current insights into the latest trends, technologies, and innovations in the footwear industry.
