Our Processes

A peak into the art of goodyear welted leather shoe craftsmanship.

STEP 1.

SHOE FITTER

The shoe fitter assesses the customer’s foot measurements to ensure an accurate fit. This step is crucial for comfort and support. Using specialized tools, the fitter analyzes foot shape, arch, and size, allowing for a tailored approach in creating shoes that conform perfectly to each individual’s feet.

STEP 2.

BOTTOM

The bottom of the shoe consists of the sole and provides stability and support. Crafted from high-quality leather or rubber, the sole is meticulously cut and shaped to meet specific design requirements.
This step ensures durability and comfort, setting the foundation for a well-constructed shoe.

STEP 3.

LASTING

Lasting involves shaping the shoe upper around a wooden or plastic mold called a last. Skilled artisans carefully pull the leather over the last, creating a snug and comfortable fit while maintaining the design's integrity.
This process ensures that the shoe takes its final form, enhancing fit and aesthetics.

STEP 4.

GOODYEAR STITCHING

Goodyear stitching is a traditional method that secures the upper, insole, and outsole together. A durable welt is stitched to the upper, allowing for easy resoling and extending the shoe's lifespan.
This technique enhances strength, flexibility, and comfort, making it a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship.

STEP 5.

SOLE EDGING

Sole edging involves finishing the edges of the sole for a polished look. Artisans skillfully trim and smooth the edges, often applying color or sealants to enhance aesthetics and protect the leather.
This meticulous detailing not only improves the shoe's appearance but also contributes to its overall durability.

STEP 6.

LEATHER HEEL PASTING

Leather heel pasting secures the heel piece to the shoe, adding stability and support. This step involves applying adhesive and carefully positioning the leather heel onto the shoe base. Proper pasting ensures a snug fit and enhances the shoe's overall structure, crucial for comfort and longevity.

STEP 7.

THE FINAL PRODUCT

The final product is a testament to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each pair undergoes thorough inspection for quality assurance, ensuring it meets our high standards.
The result is a beautifully crafted, comfortable shoe that reflects both style and the skill of the artisans behind it.
