How are your Bootstock boots made? All about the production
Laurens Withagen
There is quite a bit of work hidden behind your boots. Logical, because that way we can guarantee that you will receive boots of good quality, which you will enjoy for many years to come. But how are our boots actually made? We will tell you more about it.
No waste technology
In the production of clothing, bags and shoes, a lot of material is often wasted. For example, because clothing is produced too much. If the trend is over and the seller cannot sell the clothes, they are thrown away. For example, the wasted material from clothing production is estimated at 13 tons per year! A huge waste and also bad for the environment. That is why we went looking for a factory that gave high priority to the environment, sustainability, quality and people. Here we work with zero waste technology. With this method we look at how we can get the most out of the leather, to keep the leftovers after the production of a boot as small as possible. Furthermore, there is a lot of polluted water waste in the production of leather, our factory has special tanks that purify the water again so that it can be reused for the next production.
Goodyear welted method
This method guarantees a well-assembled shoe, but what does that mean? It is a method of double stitching shoes. This makes the shoes more water-resistant than other shoes, for example, but this production method also makes it very easy for a shoemaker to replace the sole if it needs replacing. However, because the soles are double stitched, they will never come loose on their own. This way you have a boot that, with the right care, can last a very long time.
Quality standards of production
All boots are checked for their quality before they end up in your hands. For example, we always check whether the boots are properly attached everywhere. Only professionals have worked on your boots, with all the leather being carefully processed and stitched by hand.
A boot for the future
The methods and standards we use ensure that we have a boot that will last for a long time. Cowboy boots are timeless and if they have become too small or you are tired of them, you can easily pass them on to the next owner. In this way, you also contribute to a sustainable world.
