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.
