Description
René Chesnot was a bespoke Parisian shoemaker, specialised in bootmaking for the military as well as the prestigious riding academy, the Cadre Noir de Saumur. Chesnot was a well-known family of bootmaker. René Chesnot and his son were located 192 Rue de Grenelle, while Roger Chesnot was located Rue Cler, both in the 7th Arrondissement. They were excellent craftsmen, in the same league as many incredible but forgotten shoemakers like Bunting, Daliet-Grand, Hellstern, Noivo, or the legendary Tuczek. I propose a magnificent pair of bespoke black Jodhpur Boots by René Chesnot. These boots will last you a lifetime and more with a bit of care. Entirely made by hand, the construction is both sturdy and delicate, like the shoemakers of old. The style is typical of an equestrian boot for the Cadre Noir. They will become your favorite autumn/winter boots. The condition is excellent. The soles are original with plenty of life still in them, and features the classic stamped A.R. Chesnot (similar to what you could find on a pair of Bespoke John Lobb). Stunning bespoke shoetrees in three parts included. Such shoetrees are very rare these days, since only two artisans can produce bespoke shoetrees for boots in France. The size is approximately a strong 9UK/43EU or a small 9,5UK/44EU, with a slightly wide feet.
