About the location

Manufacture JM Weston
65 rue Nicolas Appert, 87000 Limoges
  • Haute-Vienne
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
J.M. Weston, a traditional shoemaker for over 120 years, loves to sublimate classical codes by reinterpreting them boldly. The house has also been making Republican Guard boots since 1975\. From cutting to pampering, they follow an eight-week course in the workshops of the Limoges manufacture, submitting to about two hundred hands-on training according to the techniques used by master bootmakers.
