Our Traditional Shoe Construction Methods

There are three basic methods of shoe construction: cementing, Blake welting, and Goodyear welting. For our Men's Footwear collection, we use both Blake and Original Goodyear welting methods. Each of them has its advantages, and defines how the sole is attached to the upper.

When talking about high-end footwear, the Goodyear Welt is often contrasted with the Blake stitch. With the Blake stitch, the upper is sewn directly to the sole, and it generally creates a more flexible type of shoe. On the other side, the Original Goodyear Welting process is considered to be performed by those with the highest levels of skills, craftsmanship leaving the customer with a product that will last a lifetime.
