The Goodyear Welted Construction

This traditional English construction has been around for over 150 years. The upper is stitched (Good year welted) to a ridge on the insole and a strip of leather - the welt. The outer sole is then attached by stitching through the welt, midsole and sole around the outside of the shoe. This keeps water away from the upper, resulting in a sturdy and practical construction, that can be resoled many times.

Made in India

Situated on the Bay of Bengal in Eastern India and renowned for its exacting ecological and ethical standards, this family-run business expertly combines British construction and Italian technique with their own effortless style. The Goodyear welt, this factory's signature construction, was invented in Britain over 150 years ago by Charles Goodyear Jr. It involves the addition of a leather strip (the welt) along the perimeter of the shoe, making shoes with this construction more waterproof, easily repairable and therefore, highly practical. Despite being extremely proficient to this end, the shoes produced at this factory are far more than just practical. Using skilled techniques such as Tamponato, which they learned first-hand from Italian artisans, as well as highly intricate broguing, the family produce styles which excel in both durability and design.
