Heritage Craftsmanship-Goodyear Welt

Goodyear welt construction is a method used in high-quality dress shoes that involves stitching the upper part of the shoe to a welt (a strip of leather or rubber), which is then stitched to the outsole. This method creates a durable, long-lasting shoe and provides several advantages over other types of shoe construction.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

Upper Construction: The upper part of the shoe (the part that covers your foot) is stitched to a leather or rubber welt. The welt has a small lip or ledge around its edge.
Sole Attachment: The welt is then sewn to the shoe's sole using a special stitch, creating a sturdy bond. The stitching typically goes through the upper, the welt, and the sole, which ensures a strong connection.
Durability: Because the welt is stitched to the upper and the sole, Goodyear welted shoes are highly durable and can be re-soled multiple times. This means the shoe can last for many years, as the sole can be replaced without affecting the structure of the rest of the shoe.
Water Resistance: The stitching and construction provide a good seal, making Goodyear welted shoes more resistant to water and moisture compared to other methods like Blake or cement construction.
Comfort and Fit: The process also allows for a more structured shoe that can mold to your foot over time, leading to better comfort and a more personalized fit.
