THE PALMER JAMES PROCESS.

SHOE CONSTRUCTION MASTERY.

When we talk about masterfully crafted footwear, we’re usually talking about the Goodyear Welt Construction or Blake Welt Construction. Each refers to a different technique when it comes to attaching the sole to the upper of a shoe. The Goodyear Welt is the gold standard of shoemaking, and can only be performed by skilled craftsmen. Our craftsmen can apply either one when crafting dress shoes, but usually opt for cementing when it comes to casual shoes.

THE ART OF HANDMADE PATINA

The Patina craft is truly an artform, and requires a highly-skilled artist to get it right and we’re proud to work with the finest craftsmen in Europe. The artist applies the dye unique to each leather hide and shoe, which makes each one completely unique. The welt or construction is where the shoe gets its sole. The Patina is where the shoe gets its soul.
