Ignoring the intangible value of the brand and the beautiful design, what we need to care about when choosing a high quality leather shoes is quality. Besides the material for shoe making, one of the two factors that determines the quality of a shoe is the production technique. So what makes your shoes so durable?

What is Goodyear?

You may think that the Goodyear Welt technology is named after the word-by-word translation of "perennial" and it precisely increases the lifespan of your shoes. The roots of the Goodyear Welt name come from Charles Goodyear Jr., an American engineer who invented a special shoe production technique, shoe-making technology, which replaced hand-sewn methods used for thousands of years. It can be said that this is a successful leap forward in the footwear industry and it gives users high-end leather shoes with the durability of up to ten years.

Goodyear - The secret to the durability of western shoes

This is the most basic thing to create a shoe of Goodyear technology that other shoes can not be. They are the upper, the insole, and the outsole that are tied together by sewing together with a piece of welt. This technique allows the shoe's components to be firmly fixed together. The upper stitch creates a cavity between the soles, the workers demanded that the wood must be used to make the inside of the soles because it is light, electric, easy to shape with the user's feet. Most importantly, it makes shoes be able to breathe, which makes it comfortable, pleasant for the owner. All sewing threads are carefully selected and are of the highest standard. The hemp yarn which is braided and impregnated with bactericidal chemicals has met the demand of the hard artisan.

The Welt technology provides a protective layer around the outside of the sole to maximize the water resistance of the sole. Compared to the Blake Mckay shoemaking technology - which is widely used in the production of shoes with the stitching of the outsole on the base, the user sometimes feels the inner line of the shoe and it is easy for water to infiltrate the shoes.

Another advantage of the Goodyear welt is the material that makes the shoe's sole, which makes your shoe more comfortable and breathable than ordinary shoes. Obviously, this is a type of antibiotic that will keep your shoes healthy with all kinds of weather.

Currently, Goodyear welt technology has been used by most of famous brands in the production of high-grade men's leather shoes including Clarks, Cole Haan, Banuli, Doctor Martens ... and always bring the best quality for the users.
