The LANX Craftsman Collection is proudly made in England using a shoe construction method known as Goodyear welting. Goodyear welting is a process whereby a shoe upper is sewn to the shoe insole, without having to attach the outsole with the same stitching. The short video we have uploaded to our YouTube page shows the sewing of the welt, a strip of leather which is sewn around the bottom edge of the shoe.
