NATURAL CORK FOR SHOE BOTTOM FILLER

NATURAL CORK FOR SHOE.

FLEXOFIL

NATURAL CORK FILLING MATERIAL USED FOR GOODYEAR WELTED SHOE.

THE GOODYEAR WELTED CONSTRUCTION IS A TRADITIONAL METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF MEN AND WOMAN SHOES, TAKING IT’S NAME FROM THE INVENTOR WHO MECHANIZED THE ORIGINAL HAND SEWN METHOD. THE ASSENCE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION IS THAT THE UPPER IS SHAPED OVER THE LAST AND SECURED BY SEWING A STRIP OF LEATHER OR (WELT) TO THE UPPER AND INNER SOLE. THE CAVITY FORMED BY THE WELT IS THEN FILLED WITH A CORK COMPOUND KNOWN AS  FLEXOFIL WHICH IS HIGLY FLEXIBLE AND RESILIENT GIVING A WELTED SHOE ITS UNIQUE COMFORT. THE PROCESS IS THEN COMPLETED BY ATTACHING A SOLE TO THE WELT. THE STITCHED CONSTRUCTION ALLOWS THE SHOE TO BE REPAIRED MANY TIMES BY REPLACING THE SOLE.
THE VERY NATURE OF THIS METHOD OF SHOEMAKING TAKES MANY WEEK AND CAN INVOLVE UP TO TWO HUNDRED HIGLY SKILLED OPERATORS CREATING A SHOE OF COMFORT, STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.
