GOODYEAR-WELTED

Goodyear welted is a category of high quality shoe construction that allows a pair to be resoled multiple times without damaging the upper leather. The machinery used in the process was invented in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr., the son of the American manufacturing engineer Charles Goodyear. Labor and material intensive, we believe Goodyear welting to be the pinnacle of artisanal shoemaking.
