Henry Maxwell / Foster and Sons are well known for their bespoke riding boots.

Casa Fagliano makes custom riding boots for all disciplines. Fantastic stuff if you spend lots of time in the saddle.

In France there is Lobb Paris, of course, but the fellow who made my loafers, Anthony Delos, hails from Saumur, which apparently is a center either for riding or for bootmaking associated with riding/hunting. He worked at Lobb Paris's bespoke atelier prior to going solo, and in fact the last time I saw him had splendidly refurbished a pair of Lobb Paris bespoke riding boots for another customer. www.anthonydelos.com

Try here:

I have no iexperience with their boots and it might not be classical bespoke (more MTM), but it's reasonably priced.

I have both Denher and Vogel. Both are very nice.

If you ride on the circuit in the U.S., then Vogels are part of the uniform, along with britches from Tailored Sportman.

That Bergshoeff looks good. And it's not a big distance to come there for me.
