Do you know what “Goodyear Welt” construction is?
When we talk about tradition in the footwear sector, it is inevitable to talk about the “Goodyear Welt” construction method. This technique consists of sewing the upper, lining and insole to a trim to later be sewn to the sole. Due to its complexity, the “Goodyear Welt” construction requires a more elaborate production process, as well as personnel specialized in this type of techniques.
Advantages of this method
- Gives shoes durability.
- They are very comfortable and padded thanks to their cork layer.
- Prevents any liquid from penetrating.
- The sole is easily changed when it wears out.
- The footwear adapts to the shape of the foot immediately.
- Useful life of up to 5 years (as long as they are properly maintained)
The “Goodyear Welt” construction method is usually used in Premium or luxury shoes, since its production process is specialized and requires considerable time.
Although it has a long history, this technique is still considered the best even today.
At FOP Boots we have a firm belief that everything we give, comes back to us at some point. We know that hard work, dedication, passion and above all, doing well will be rewarded.
