Blake vs Goodyear | Carmina Shoemaker

The world of shoemaking is, undoubtedly, a world filled with options and proposals. The different models, leather and colours are only a few of the options when it comes to choosing and purchasing a new pair of shoes. Increased flexibility, more durability, overall comfort - evidently, the characteristics that define a Blake stitched or Goodyear welted shoe are unique. At Carmina Shoemaker we offer both types of constructions, as we recognise that each foot, each step, and each client is unique. The main difference between them is that a Blake Stitch construction attaches the shoe's uppers to the insole and the outsole with the single stitch method. Whereas, with Goodyear construction, a welt interposes the uppers and the sole, meaning that the sole is not directly sown onto the uppers.
