Since October 31, 2024, Pointures has been located at 8 rue du Canard, in the heart of Toulouse. A workshop specializing in the creation of custom-made shoes and sneakers, there is a talent behind it: Jean-Emmanuel Pialoux.
After having graduated from a business school, having spent time at the seminary and finally giving up on becoming a priest, having been a management consultant, Jean-Emmanuel Pialoux created LBT (Le Bottier Toulousain) in 2018. He set himself the challenge of keeping the shoemaking profession alive in Toulouse. A successful bet and now its ambitions are expanding with Sizes. The artisanal know-how remainsbut Jean-Emmanuel is no longer alone in charge and he works with other craftsmen.
From shoes designed for astronaut Thomas Pesquet, to those of the Rose Festival by Big Flo and Oli, via jeweler Marc Deloche, prestigious collaborations follow one another and Jean-Emmanuel never tires of letting his creativity explode.
