Goodyear welting is the highest quality method of shoe construction, invented by Charles Goodyear Jr in 1869. It involves many, many steps by hand and hand-operated machinery in which the sole is stitched to the upper leather for the ultimate in quality, walking comfort, and ability to resole when eventually worn out. The typical method of gluing on rubber soles found on most mainstream shoes today is not remotely in the same league. If you want new GYW shoes of this quality today, look to Church's, Crockett and Jones, Alden or Allen Edmonds. When you see their prices you will understand what a deal vintage shoes are.
All shoes have been recently cleaned and leather conditioned with Bick 4. Contact me for more pictures, or to arrange a fitting. I have a number of wider 7.5s that may be a good fit as well.
Pair one of these shoes with this fantastic pair of Citizens of Humanity Sid designer jeans, size 28, available separately, for a complete look sure to make you look and feel great. See my other listing for these.
I also have many other quality vintage Goodyear welted Oxfords, Derbies and loafers for sale in other sizes. Please see my other listings.
