Floris van Bommel The Loper H high lace-up shoe for men in black H-width (wide). This boot is made according to the Goodyear method. In this artisanal and labor-intensive shoemaking method, the sole is built piece by piece under the shoe without prefabricated materials. Shoes made with Goodyear are sturdy, have a waterproof connection between the sole and upper, are easy to repair, and above all, have a lot of character. In other words: Goodyear is the method a shoemaker chooses for their own dress shoes. The sole has a cobalt blue tread made of durable TPU. The shoe is fitted with a high-quality calf leather lining. This pair is made on a last with an H-width. The shoe therefore has a slightly wider fit and is also suitable for a slightly wider foot.
Floris van Bommel about this item
These shoes are made according to the Goodyear method. It doesn't get more artisanal than this! Each component is handmade to measure in our factory here in Moergestel. We use poetic jargon like "aflappen," "zwijken," "kantje lick," "schrooien," and "glans." It makes my cobbler's heart beat faster. This is how we've been making shoes for centuries. Initially, entirely by hand, and after the Industrial Revolution, with the help of machines. At the end of the production process, the side of the sole is colored with a brush dipped in a container of stain. No mess! That container of stain is just a few walls away, 30 meters from the office where I'm typing this. Shoemaking... we love it here.
