Walk in the footsteps of our history...
You can visit La Botte Gardiane's workshop in Aigues-Vives, which situated in the south east of France, between Nîmes and Montpellier.
Today, all of our products are still handcrafted, in the same heritage since 1958. You will discover our savoir-faire with a guide and you will see our craftspeople working. From cutting to sewing areas, through mounting and finishing, we will unveil manufactured secrets of a pair of shoes.
You will also discover our range of leathers and the way we produce our differents soles. Moreover, you could observe the way we produce our famous mounting : sewn, glued, nailed. We are the last French cow-boy bootmaker that produce this type of mounting. That is the reason why our brand is labelled : "Living Heritage Company"since 2007.
