Explore the steps involved in creating a Goodyear® welted shoe.
While it is true that this stitching system is synonymous with quality footwear, there are many who do not know this appreciated type of assembly that for centuries has been used by the most prestigious footwear companies in the world such as Carmina Shoemaker.
The Goodyear system consists of the application of a welt (a strip of leather of approximately 1.5 cm) that is attached by means of a thread of considerable thickness to the insole (inner base of the shoe) and the upper (outer leather of the shoe). The machine joins the welt to the whole contour of the shoe, being stitched to the white leather that forms the upper and the leather base. Once the three parts are stitched, the welt is hidden between the upper and the welt, which follows the contour of the entire front of the shoe.
Once this operation is finished, the excess leather is cut or polished in the internal area in order to apply a cork paste in the center. The cork is a material that with the use, will acquire the shape of the sole of our foot, adapting to our footprint, which will provide us with a higher comfort than other models of footwear.
