Alfred Sargent Shoes

Alfred Sargent Shoes are made by the "Goodyear Welted" Construction which is a traditional method of manufacture taking its name from the inventor who mechanised the original hand sewn method.

The essence of this construction is that the upper is shaped over the last and secure by sewing a strip of leather or "Welt" to the upper and inner sole. The process is then completed by attaching a sole to the welt. The very nature of this method of shoemaking takes us many weeks and involves over two hundred highly skilled operations is which we use only the finest quality materials, thereby creating a unique blend of comfort, strength and durabilty.

The stitched construction offers the unique opportunity of having the shoes repaired by replacing the sole, greatly increasing the life of the shoes.
