How can a piece leather be transformed into a shoe which fits like a second-skin and stands the test of time. Let’s go on a journey to the very beginning of our shoemaking process.

Clicking: The Art of Precision

The story begins by clicking, when skilled craftsmen cut leather sections from the uppers of the shoes. It’s more than just cutting. It’s about minimizing waste and avoiding flaws. Each cut is made with the correct grain to ensure the pattern shape is preserved. It’s a dance between wastefulness and perfection.

Closing: Stitching Together Elegance

The upper is stitched in the final stage. It is a complex process that involves reducing leather thickness to avoid bulkiness, and enhancing appearance through staining or folding. Here, eyelet and brogue holes are added to create a shoe as beautiful as it’s functional.

Lasting: the Shape of Things to come

The shoe upper is attached to the insole by pulling it over the last. The uppers are first mulled to make them more flexible and able to conform to the shape of a last. This process requires patience and an understanding of leather’s characteristics.

Welt Sewing: The Heart of Durability

The welt is the leather strip that is stitched onto the upper and the insole of the shoe. It’s essential to its longevity. Welted shoes can be disassembled and repaired by skilled craftsmen because they are sewn.

In a world where details define a man, a pair Goodyear Welted Shoes is more than a status symbol. It’s a statement about one’s appreciation of quality and craftsmanship. It’s a decision that reflects an appreciation for quality and craftsmanship.

Owning shoes that have been crafted with care and precision brings a certain sense of pride. It’s pride in knowing that your every step is supported by the finest craftsmanship and tradition.
