Madison

The Madison showcases clean welt and stitching work characteristic of Julian Boots' pattern-making approach. The boot features a military-inspired look that balances rugged and refined aesthetics. Optional features for the Madison include a shell cordovan tongue and French binding, allowing customers to customize their order based on preference.

The Madison is available through a made-to-measure process that begins with detailed foot measurements. The bootmaker, Avo, takes foot tracings and three circumferential measurements at the ball, instep, and heel to ensure proper fit. Customers provide detailed measurements of each foot and send in pencil outlines for last creation.

Custom last orders include a trial pair for fitting purposes, allowing adjustments before the final boots are produced. The measurement process also includes assessing the arch of the foot, the size of the big toe knuckle, and the circumference of the leg to create a unique leather last for each customer.

Manufacturing a pair of Madison boots typically requires three to five weeks, with an additional three to five business days for delivery. This extended timeline reflects the hand assembly process and skilled craftsmanship involved in each pair. Many skilled craftsmen are involved in the production, which takes place entirely at the Los Angeles facility.

Julian Boots was founded in 2005 by Julian Imrie, who was born in London. The company operates from Los Angeles, California, where all boots are hand assembled. Julian Boots has custom designed boots for high-end stores and boutiques in North America, Europe, and Japan. The bootmaker emphasizes using leathers sourced from American tanneries while maintaining traditional construction methods.
