Our Goodyear is always hand-sewn

From ready-to-wear, Aubercy offers Goodyear welts whose welt is always hand-sewn.

A word from Xavier Aubercy

In the world of Parisian shoes, this is rare, if not unique.

In the world of Parisian shoes, this is rare, if not unique.
The word "Goodyear" refers to a manufacturing process: the shoe is sewn. However, the quality of this stitching can vary: the quality of the materials used and the degree of mechanization can impoverish this stitching.
We designed our Goodyear as a pure craftsmanship object: with the highest standards, by hand and with the finest materials.
We believe that each of our shoes should be made this way.
At Aubercy, it is the hand of the craftsman that gives it its extra soul and the final pleasure of owning this unique object.
Our hand-sewn Goodyear ensures impeccable finishing quality and maximum water resistance. When worn, our hand-sewn Goodyear is immediately more comfortable than the machine-sewn Goodyear.

Our welt is hand-sewn into the thickness of the first, not into a glued canvas engraving wall.

In the factory, glued canvas engraving walls harden the sole. This is the mark of industrial manufacturing. Conversely, at Aubercy, we only use supple leather of impeccable quality and high density. In addition, this density means that each customer will mold their footprint over time. This refinement in terms of comfort would be enough to say that this hand-sewn is incomparable.

Above all, there is this finesse and this inimitable aestheticism.

This is the mark of an exceptional workshop. His experience of more than 30 years in this art gives him a mastery of the gesture as we demand. First, the shoemaker places the shoe on his knees then marks a wheel with his hands. This is one of the witnesses of our unparalleled finishes. It takes about three hours of work to sew one of our pairs. In a factory, when this task is automated, it takes three minutes.

Why the hand and not the machine when manufacturing is mechanized?

Firstly, because we believe that each of our creations bearing our name must be made with the highest level of requirement. Secondly, because our family independence still gives us this luxury. That of being able to try to create and share what is most beautiful possible. Finally, this is what shoe lovers find with us: comfort, technical skill, fit. A style that only the house of Aubercy masters.
