J.M. Weston

Édouard Blanchard established the prestigious French shoe business J.M. Weston in Limoges, a place with a rich tradition of tanning and leathercraft, in 1891. The business was first known as "Blanchard," but in 1922, after Eugène Blanchard studied the Goodyear welt method of shoemaking, the name was changed to "J.M. Weston." One of the distinguishing features of J.M. Weston shoes is the ability to have the soles replaced several times.

The Goodyear welt construction method, which is regarded as one of the most resilient and long-lasting shoe making techniques, is used to create the J.M. Weston boot. The high-quality leather used to make the boots comes from Weston's own tannery.

Weston boots often cost $500 to $700, which is more expensive than many other brands. However, a lot of people think the price is reasonable given the high caliber of Weston boots. With careful maintenance, the boots are known to last for many years and can be resoled numerous times.

Weston boots are seen as a prestige symbol in France. Rich politicians and businessmen frequently wear them. Celebrities like musician Johnny Hallyday and actor Jean Dujardin are fans of the footwear.
