QUALITY SHOES

Goodyear welting is one of the three construction methods of shoe construction. It is the oldest, most labor-intensive, and most durable method, It can be done by a machine or by hand, with multiple steps involved. 

Preparing the insole for stitching is the first part of the process. This is accomplished by creating a "rib" that runs across the insole. Many shoemakers produce the rib by slicing and sculpting the insole, while others use additional material such as linen tape to do so.

The second step is to finish the boot. This is achieved by running the outsole over the last one and adding it to the last one, along with the insole.

Step three is real welting. Shoe-specific threads are sewn through the globe, bottom, and insole rib at this stage. The universe is connected to the outsole by means of a separate thread. A lockstitch is used for both of these stitching points–ensuring that if it breaks down at any particular point in the boot, the chain will not unravel.

Blake is the easiest and most popular of the two primary methods of welting. It is also a by-product of the industrial revolution, as the stitching is done inside the shoe, making it impossible to do it by hand. The top is wrapped around the insole for a black world and tied between it and the outsole. A common thread binds all together. Blake stitching is superior in the hunt for a close-cut sole as well. Since there are no stitches on the outside, the outsole body can be cut very close to the top and that will make the quality shoes better

The easiest, cheapest and worst kind of shoe construction. The top part of the shoe is glued to the bottom with a strong adhesive. It means there is no stitching and a discarded shoe is the result.  And with this form, this is the biggest problem. They will eventually fall apart and there is no choice but to throw them back or add a new outsole layer to extend their lives a bit. Very light in nature, but also much lower in quality as they are manufactured in bulk. Simply look at the outsole is the best way to identify these boots. If no stitching is visible, it means that the shoes are cemented
