Footwear Collection: Cheaney Custom Made Boots
- Manufacturer: Cheaney, Made in England
- Style: Custom-made black calf leather boots, 'Fareham IV' last
- Price Paid: £240 for one-off
Black leather boots from Cheaney, custom made for me. The previously featured Cheaney suede boots were such a perfect fit that I asked at their flagship store on Bond Street whether there were other colours in the same style; the only available option was their custom service, in which you pick an existing last, leather and colour and you get a pair of custom-made shoes in 4 or 5 weeks. The cost is about £100 more than the retail price for the original style and given how comfortable my suede pair were, this seemed very reasonable, particularly when compared to a pair of bespoke John Lobb shoes.
