Goodyear Welted Brown Leather Cap Toe Boots

A Goodyear Welt shoe or Goodyear Welt boot is finished using a strip of leather that usually runs along the edge of the outsole. The technology which is used to produce it was developed in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr., the son of Charles Goodyear. How is it crafted? Initially, a stripe is stitched to the upper. Then, a strip of canvas is paved to the pad of the shoe as a point of attachment for the sole. Subsequently, the space that is attached by the welt is loaded with cork or another material that is porous or perforated which allows breathability. Finally, the outsole is cemented and stitched to the welt to finish the process. The extra layers make the shoe more supportive and water resistant, also since the sole is not directly stitched to the upper it can effortlessly be separated and resoled. If you want a pair of classic, timeless dress shoes that will last for years, the Goodyear Welt is the way to go !
