John Black Goodyear Welted Wholecut

Cemented Construction is one where the upper of the shoe is pasted to the outsole of the shoe. Whereas, Goodyear Welted Construction involves covering the insole with a welt, which is then stitched to the outsole. As you can imagine, there are several layers involved in this construction, which supposedly makes your shoes sturdier. Coupled with the secure locksmith stitching, your soles are not expected to fall apart at all. The multiple steps and layers of this form of construction make the costs of production high.
