We work with skilled local artisans and makers to create pieces that are made to last. Our Goodyear welt construction sits at the heart of this, with durable soles that can be renewed when worn through. A majority of boot collection is made using the Goodyear welt construction, which ensures a longer lifecycle for the shoes, often 10 years or more, if cared for correctly.
The Goodyear welt construction involves stitching a welt to the upper and a strip of preformed canvas like a "rib" that runs all around the edges and bottom. It is cemented to the insole of a shoe as an attach point for the outsole or midsole. This Victorian method is generally used to make men's formal shoes but is also synonymous with our brand and its reputation for high quality and comfort.
Goodyear welt construction allows for the shoes or boots to be entirely resoled. This allows customers to breathe new life into their boots every few years and keep them looking good as new.
Benefits:
Goodyear Welt footwear can be re-soled.
