Jean-Baptiste Rautureau, the shoemaker

Jean-Baptiste Rautureau founded his company, manufacturing and repairing shoes, in 1870, in Vendée, western France, at la Gaubretiere, and after 4 generations, Guy Rautureau and Yvon, his brother, succeed him. The Jean-Baptiste Rautureau men's line was created by Guy Rautureau in 1995. The strength of Jean-Baptiste Rautureau? He's a shoemaker. And only a shoemaker. For Guy Rautureau, both artist and craftsman of the shoe, there is "know-how, and know-all-doing". The Jean-Baptiste Rautureau style is excellence, the constant quest for innovation and the unique aspect of the French hand. More raw, more artisanal, loving irregularities, it is a more human shoe, which cultivates a different luxury. The shoes are made by hand until the final finishes. For the most Rock models each small nail will be placed one by one by the hundred craftsmen of the factory. Jean-Baptiste Rautureau, it is also iconic codes. The sole of the same color as the shoe and the audacious work of the research on the materials (laser cutting imitating the python or the crocodile, the patchworks or the exclusive prints). A tribute to the spirit of rock."
