HAND WELTED COLLECTION

A Goodyear Welt shoe or boot is made using a strip of leather that runs along the perimeter of the outsole. The machinery used to produce was invented in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr., the son of Charles Goodyear. This is a time-honoured process that allow pairs of shoes to be resoled and is the definite standard for quality shoes.

Good shoes and great service!! The people you meet there really are in the shoe business because they want to, not because they have to... Really great experience!!

Marcus Low

I’ve just made a purchase for a beautiful pair of CNES Harrison cap toe oxfords at their store today. The service provided by Nigel was excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.

Danish Lim

In a Mckay (Blake) construction, a one layer outsole is used, treating the “midsole” as the outsole. This makes the blake stitchings not only be visible in the insole but also the outsole. This one layer outsole construction allows for a very thin outsole, sleek look and flexible shoe.

If you prefer a lightweight, flexible shoe. This is for you.
