The Construction
The soles are attached with a 3 BUSM Rapid Standard brass wire screwing machines - of which only four exist in the world. Three of these machines are in their workshop, and the fourth is believed to be in New Zealand. The brass wire, drawn from a giant spool, is threaded through the sole, insole, and leather upper, creating an exceptionally strong, durable bond. This technique, far older than a Goodyear welt, is one of the most reliable methods for sole attachment.
What Makes The BUXTON?
THE FOUR KEY STAGES OF SHOEMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP
CLICKING
The clicking process is a crucial step in shoe manufacturing, where the individual leather pieces that make up the upper are cut into precise shapes before being assembled. This stage gets its name from the sound the machines make as they cut through the material.
CLOSING
The closing process in shoe manufacturing refers to the stage where the individual components of the shoe upper, such as the vamp, quarters, and tongue, are sewn or stitched together to form the complete upper structure of the shoe.
LASTING
The lasting process is a critical stage in shoe manufacturing, where the shoe's upper is molded into its final shape and attached to the sole. This process gives the shoe its structure, fit, and comfort, making it one of the most important steps in creating a well-constructed shoe.
FINALISING
The shoes undergo a thorough inspection and refinement before they are packaged and shipped to you. This process is critical for ensuring that each pair of shoes meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
