Goodyear Welted 

Construction

Goodyear Welted shoe design was developed hundreds of years ago, and is still 

considered one of today's finest and most robust forms of shoe and footwear making.

In Goodyear Welted construction, the upper leather, lining leather and welt (a especially leather strap or can be described as: - On better-constructed shoes, world is a leather strip that runs along the outsole perimeter. The primary purpose is to connect the upper to the outsole) to the ribbing that has already been applied to the insole. For the insole running over insole, the rib must be packed. The environment is then stitched to the leather or synthetic sole. It's this final stitch that keeps the sole in place that we can cut through allowing complete removal of the sole without causing damage to the rim.

A lockstitch is used at each of these stitching points-meaning the chain does not unravel if it breaks down at any given point in the shoe.

The Goodyear Welted design has the good strength and high longevity as well as higher quality repair by stitching the upper, bottom, and then stitching the world to sole.

The Goodyear Welted construction is expensive, time consuming and requires highly skilled craftsmanship.
