What Makes SAMARA Stand Out?
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.
Customer Reviews
Nice pair of shoes, never though it can be so comfortable to wear and beautifully handmade, thankyou
This shoe features a unique sole seems to feel better underfoot than a normal cupsole (provided you like more support). I have a very wide foot (9.5EEE) and was worried that even Goral's wide fit would be too small. It was still a little tight, but due to the sole being more underneath the upper (not stitched to the side like a cup sole) I was able to use my trusty shoe stretcher to increase the volume. Fits great now. The Waxy Commander is somehow darker and better looking in person vs pictures.
Glad I got US11. I'm a US 10.5 in normal sneakers and mine are a little snug. My SMUGs are a little roomier at this same size.
The inner is very comfortable. The shoe isn’t too stiff to walk on.
Wool version. Size 7UK Wide (EE)
Right off the bat they fitted perfectly. Took a chance and wore them out the next day without any breaking in. Walked 15k steps without any issues, and have done a few days like this.
Extremely happy with the shoe.
