European shoe production 1930's way
Glued by hand on wooden lasts, onto the racks and into the Flash Gordon style vulcanising chamber for the bonding process which is one hour of cooking at 130 deg. The old way. The best way.
Quality control at one of our European factories
These photos were taken whilst visiting one of producers in Europe. Very old fashioned, hand made conveyor line and built on hand cut wooden lasts. Very agreeable, with a fine eye on detail. Yet another reliable producer we have located allowing a larger range of product to our customers.
