Most Bootstock boots are made following the Goodyear Welted method. This is the oldest and most durable technique for making handcrafted boots. The Goodyear Welt is a robust manufacturing method where a double stitched seam is used to attach the upper material to the insole. By using this technique, we can ensure that you will never feel the stitching when you wear the boots. This way, your boot also will not come undone if a stich breaks. Another advantage is that this solid fastening method makes the boots more waterproof. The Goodyear Welt method makes sure that the boots are durable. If your boots need some freshening up, the outsole can easily be replaced. It is the most durable method of making boots.
