So What Sets Us Apart?

Let's start by saying we are a family owned and run company who have been making bespoke boots for nearly a century now, since 1922. In that time, we have satisfied the demands of many discerning customers - including fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, champion equestrians such as Harry Meade and Jean Lou Bigot, performers at the legendary Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris, characters in Disney movies, rock stars, and people just like you. Every order, every pair of boots that leaves our shop, matters to us. And in a world of outsourcing, all of our boots are made right here in our workshop in the Vendée region of France, in the same village where we have been making boots for nearly a century, using skills that have been passed down for generations.

Secondly, we offer a truly customized service. Our made-to-measure boots are precisely that - made to your exact measurements - unlike many other bootmakers you will find on the Internet whose 'custom' boots often tend to be made around a modified leg pattern built on a standard shoe size.

Look at our how-to-measure page and you'll see what we mean. Our boots are tailored to your leg and foot shape. This is where the true skill of the bootmaker comes in. As much as sixty percent of the time that goes into making your fully bespoke boots will be spent either making or adjusting the lasts to give you a perfect fit and total comfort.

Thirdly, we only use leather that comes from top European or North American tanneries, and are tanned using age-old techniques, to provide the comfort and durability you would expect from a pair of high-quality bespoke boots. None of our leather is sourced from suppliers that do not adhere to strict codes of practice.

Fourthly, all of our boots are lined with top quality lining leather throughout, (except, of course, the stretch and nappa leather styles, where a snug leg-hugging fit is essential). Many other boot-makers and online stores offer inferior synthetic linings that wear poorly and have detrimental effects on the health of the wearer's foot.

And lastly, but far from least, the soles of our boots are crafted either from high-quality leather soling butts or durable rubber such as the Vibram or Sacred soles we also offer. Not for us the cheap synthetic elastomere material offered by many on-line "makers." Our boots truly are made for walking, and built to last.

So as you shop around for your new pair of boots, and weigh your options, please take all of the above into consideration, together with our sixteen years of secure online sales experience and our tradition of full after-sales service.
