Goodyear welt
April 20, 2013 § 1 Comment
Slowly we have been getting in new equipment to start doing Goodyear welt, this is just a first trial and error run. Double stitch out sole, leather midsole and Dainite outsole.
Weight of leathers and overall heaviness of the boot is almost the same, the Goodyear just allows for a much better shape on last and also more design / pattern possibilities.

These are my Grandpa’s shell patterns from around 1940′s, for a Derby shoe.
