France never lacks of dress shoe brands, no less than English counterparts at least. And each level not only stands along with English ones, but wins! Every French brand has its unique style. The top level is quite strict to dress the elegant, but the middle range is more robust and suitable for everyone, such as J.M.Weston and Paraboot, Heschung is also here.
Heschung set up the business to supply skiing boots and even today, is still the offcial supply of France Olympic Ski team.
This family business did not release dress shoes until the fourth generation took over the control in 1990.
The dress shoes still have a lot of sturdy feeling cascaded from ski boots even some use Blake construction.
Let us have a look at the models.
Remark
Even the most dressy and elegant dress shoes have the chunky soles. Although they are not my dishes, I always appreciate the unique styles insisted by some brands.
