The craft
How it is made
01 · The last
The shape that decides the fit
Every shoe is built around a last, the form that sets its length, width and toe shape.
02 · The welt
Stitched to be resoled
A Goodyear welt stitches the sole to the upper, so a worn sole can be replaced again and again.
03 · The sole
Leather, Dainite or rubber
Leather soles for elegance; studded Dainite or rubber for grip on wet British pavements.
