The most typical construction in shoe making is Goodyear Welt Constructions. The Real and Genuine Shoe is Goodyear Welted Shoe. It will not be wrong if we may say most of the Dress/Formal shoes which are seen in show-rooms having PU TPR Rubber Sole or other type of Formal Shoes which are forcibly copying of Goodyear Welted Shoes, they are cemented / glued constructed shoe which are the easiest way of making shoes. Making of Goodyear Welted Shoes is an Art. The genuine way of its creations is by hand. Its creation is the result of a number of experts hands. Only very few are the maker of Handcrafted Goodyear Welted Shoes in India. One is our Company K.S.S.Shoe Industry at Agra in India. Mainly in this shoe 100% real and genuine natural leather is used. For Fashioned and dress Shoes and for perfect and real style of walk , I suggest GOODYEAR WELTED SHOES.
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 i.e.belt is stitched to the upper and lining alongwith the insole. Subsequently, the space that is attached by the welt is loaded with cork that is perforated which allows breathability. Then the outsole is pasted and the out sole is 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.
Goodyear welted shoes are widely considered to be the best constructed around. It’s the oldest and most labor-intensive construction method in existence. It’s constructed in such a way that any cobbler can resole this shoe repeatedly, and it’s incredibly durable. Usually made with double soles with outsoles that jut out from the upper, this construction method is widely utilized in British footwear in particular.
Like all shoes, these were originally made by hand.
Though there are multiple steps throughout the whole process, but the main three are as follows:
Prepare the insole for stitching. The cordwainer creates a “rib” that runs across the insole. Some makers cut and sculpt the insole, and others use a different material like linen tape. The purpose of the rib is to house thread in a later step.
Blake stitching is done with what is called the “single stitch” method. The shoe's upper alongwith Inner / lining are folded underneath the insole, and then stitched into place with a single thread connecting the insole, the upper, the inner and the outsole on the inside of the shoe . All the four the upper, lining, insole and outsole are stitched together with a single thread.
Norwegian or Norvegese construction has its origins in Italy. What separates this construction is that instead of attaching the upper to the feather of the insole, the upper is turned outwards and runs parallel with the outsole. As opposed to Goodyear, which has only one exterior stitch, Norwegian constructions have at least two, which are the basis of the construction: the outsole stitch, holding together the upper, midsole and outsole, and the Norwegian stitch, traditionally just keeping together the upper and insole.
Stuck On Construction OR Cemented Construction is a way to attach the outsole and midsole to the upper body using “cement”, or more commonly known as glue. In this process the upper is attached to the insole by cement and the lasting margin is roughened. The sole is attached with lasted upper by means of adhesive.
