Welt shoes and footwear from New Zealand.

The Goodyear welt shoes have long been recognised as a standard of quality. The welt process has not changed in basic principle for more than two hundred years. The Goodyear welt construction takes its name form Charles Goodyear Jnr, son of the famous discoverer of the rubber vulcanizing process. The younger Goodyear developed the first commercially successful machine which could duplicate the complex motions of the human hand in sewing the welt to the shoe bottoms. Stones Shoes stock Barker and Loake welted footwear made in England.
