Here I discuss the decline of European welted shoemaking, what’s led up to that, and the potential future of it.
An interesting discussion is to be had for sure and I look forward to your comments below.

Great episode. I believe the makers are struggling all over the world. Here in Mexico, the nearshoring for the US market is flooding the industry with their products and factories making nice Goodyear welted productions now are focusing on (also welted) big volume orders from these brands, leaving no space for new brands to come in. We have a small workshop where we attend small companies or creators, if you are interested please just send mi an email to [email protected]. You can see more about us in http://www.adroshoes.com
