GOODYEAR WELTED SHOES EXPLAINED:
The Goodyear construction is characterised by a horizontal seam that joins the upper, the insole and a welt. This welt is then joined by a second vertical seam, which joins the entire shoe to the outsole. This achieves the total integrity of the shoe and, in addition, it’s easy to repair.
A characteristic feature of Goodyear footwear until now has been its lack of flexibility. By working closely with the factory and meticulously intervening in every process, we were able to create the first Goodyear shoe suitable for the Barefoot user.
Completely flexible. A shoe that with every step you take, becomes more yours. With every step, your footprint will be moulded into the shoe.
OUR VEG TAN LEATHER
The leather we are using is a natural vegetable tanned leather emblematic of the Spanish heartland.
A richly coloured 'washed' calf leather with a rustic character and aroma. Handmade by the tannery nicknamed 'The Widow's'. When the Pérez brothers, just teenagers, lost their father, the tannery manager, their widowed mother decided to carry on the legacy of 3 generations of tanners.
The four brothers and sons, 40 years later, continue the legacy today making this exquisite leather.
THE SOLE OF THE SHOE
The sole, the soul of the shoe. We developed a sole that would provide the right feel. Something that can convey the Barefoot connection without losing the requirements of safety and comfort. Germany had the answer. Soles that not only allow the Barefoot feeling whilst being stylish, but also meet the highest European protection levels: anti-slip, fuel and oil proof, and anti-static.
Enhance the longevity and beauty of your Goodyear welted Barefoot Chukka boots by pairing them with our premium Leather Conditioning Kit. Designed specifically for vegetable-tanned leathers, this kit keeps the fibers vibrant and supple, maintaining the natural flexibility and comfort of your boots. Regular conditioning prevents dryness and cracking, preserving the rich texture and durability that sets your boots apart. Invest in this essential care solution to ensure your footwear stays in top condition for years to come.
Leather Care Kits
We've formulated the perfect combo for keeping your favourite leather boots (and anything made of leather) in tip top condition.
We offer the following kits that will help you cleaning, conditioning and waterproofing your shoes and any of your leather goods.
These conditioner and wax polish are formulated by Gaucho Ninja specially for Veg Tan leathers.
The leather conditioner will bring life back to leather allowing it to do its job and the shoe wax will create a natural layer that will protect the grain against weather and water.
We recommend to use these two products very often to ensure that the life of the leather remains in optimum condition.
