The Goodyear was invented in the United States in the late nineteenth century by Charles Goodyear, Jr. , son of Charles Goodyear invented vulcanization. The Goodyear, except for the origins of its inventor, has nothing to do with the cure. At the end of the nineteenth century, most major brands of luxury shoes for men, English and French for the most part, are fascinated by the fame of this new revolutionary process. Many made the trip to the Americas to be formed by the shoemaker Americans. Since then, Goodyear has remained unmatched and will certainly remain. To summarize: the sewing machine called "goodyear" uses the same technique as that used by the artisans of hand-sewn shoemakers and tailors the loan-to-wear by mechanizing the steps of sewing. - The first seam is known as Goodyear Goodyear performed with the machine, it assembles in one seam, the stem, the first and the welt. Thus, once the sole worn, it is easy to replace the sole and achieve a new seam dots, without endangering the rest of the construction. This construction is extremely durable. Another feature, the foot rests on a leather first, itself resting on a natural cork filling. The natural cork gradually takes the imprint of your foot, your shoes make up almost tailor. Once completed fingerprint, you can not do without your shoes. Another advantage of Goodyear, its place and its very specific look. Because of its construction, a shoe stitched Goodyear is higher, its base towards the welt is tightened to the inside, giving it the characteristic line racy. A layman does not notice these technical details, he sees only a beautiful shoe that has the look and aging well. Even today, every major label self-respecting as: Paraboot, Weston, Church, Edward Green, Crockett and Jones, . . . . continue the tradition of Goodyear. The stitching is also called Blake sewn through and through. Blake is the name of the inventor who created in the late 19th century, a machine for mechanizing the seam through. The sewn Blake is a simple and robust design, it allows at the same time to have a shoe stitched and lightweight, it is ideal for elegant dress shoes soled leather moccasins, loafers, buckles, oxfords. The stem is first mounted on the form, the base set, then remove the form and then comes the sewing Blake, from inside to outside, for securing the stem and the base material. The Blake sewn can be resoled at will, provided that all components used are of high quality, Blake stitched shoe synonymous with luxury . .
