Goodyear Welted
DURABILITY
Goodyear welt construction facilitates easy resoling, which means the shoes can be repaired multiple times, extending their lifespan.
COMFORT
Over time, the cork layer between the insole and outsole molds to the wearer's feet, providing a comfortable, personalized fit.
WEATHER RESISTANCE
The welt acts as a barrier, providing a level of water resistance. While not entirely waterproof, this feature offers better protection against moisture compared to shoes with glued soles. It also allows the shoes to dry out more efficiently, reducing the risk of damage from prolonged exposure to water.
CRAFTMANSHIP
Goodyear welted footwear production is a method that has endured for over a century thanks to its quality and durability. The construction technique involves stitching the shoe's upper, insole, welt, and outsole together, creating a sturdy bond.
Wholecut design
COMFORT AND FIT
Wholecut upper footwear is crafted from a single piece of leather. The absence of seams minimizes potential pressure points and reduces friction, promoting a comfortable fit. The single-piece construction conforms to the foot's contours, enhancing overall comfort.
LEATHER SELECTION
Wholecut design indicates rigorous leather selection. Cutting it from one single piece of leather requires sourcing the best skins as there is no way to cut around flaws in the skin.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
The ability to work with a single piece of leather seamlessly requires a high level of skill and precision from the shoemaker.
