Brown lace-up boots, ca. 1915. Origin: America. Leather soles with the imprint: Original Goodyear World. Half round and reinforced toe section. Brown heels. Good to very good condition. Discreet signs of age and wear. Smaller finish. Because of the size: hardly to wear today.
Goodyear welted describes the way a shoe/boot is made. An integral part of the shoe world since 1872, the term still stands for excellent manufacturing quality. Shoes made in this way impress with their high durability, fit stability and ease of repair.
