Cut from the finest calf skins, and designed to naturally hug the wearer’s foot, these oak barked shoes boast hand-painted fiddle waists and are cut in a rounded, aesthetic shape.
Origins of Cheaney’s Balmoral Boots
The roots of that the Balmoral Boot date back to the middle of the 19th Century. Legend has it that Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband, commissioned his royal shoemaker to make a pair of boots that could withstand harsh environment of the Scottish Highlands and still be elegant enough to be worn indoors at gatherings with the English upper classes.
Last: 15216
Every design from Joseph Cheaney’s Imperial Collection features the 15216. Inspired by the best shoemakers around the globe, the last 15216 offers a chiselled, elongated appearance.
Hanover Balmoral Boot in Burnished Burgundy & Black Calf Leather
Hanover Balmoral Boot in Burnished Burgundy Calf Leather. These luxury shoes come as part of the Joseph Cheaney’s Imperial Collection which has been updated on a new last to offer an elegant, sophisticated shape.
The finest calf leather is used to create a truly beautiful boot that features distinctive navy leather lining, an oak bark leather sole and a hand-painted fiddle waist. The hides are steeped in oak bark resin, usually for between 9 and 12 months, to give a natural, hard wearing, flexible sole.
The Cheaney Imperial Collection boasts in-channel stitching on oak bark soles, when the edge of the sole is delicately split open and grooved so that the stitching of the sole to the welt can be embedded discreetly within the depth of the sole. The split edge is then carefully stuck back down and hand-painted for a distinctive finishing touch.
