What Happened to Redfoot Shoes After Dragons’ Den?

Redfoot Shoes appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 10. The business was a men and women's footwear. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Tim Smith walked into the Den in 2011 with a men and women's footwear. They were asking for £300,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Tim Smith left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Redfoot Shoes is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2011, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Redfoot Shoes Still in Business?
