Manufacturing
Process
1. Raw material selection
There is a strict control on the leathers
and other components used in order to ensure
that they are the most adequate for each
type of shoe.
|
|
2. Cutting
The leathers must be cut by a highly skilled
craftsman. Each piece is cut in the most
adequate area of the leather in order to
be correctly moulded to the shape of the
foot.
|
|
3. Stitching
All the cut pieces are joined together and
stitched as a whole to form the upper part
of the shoe.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Assembly
The upper part, already sewed, is lasted with the foot
configuration where it is joined with the vegetable
leather insole with the napped grain previously prepared
to stitch.
Next is the Insole Stitching where the insole is joined
to the upper part of the shoe and to a strip of leather
called Welt. The space below the insole with about 4mm
of height, is filled with flexible cork which helps
the foot adapt to the shoe and simultaneously absorbs
perspiration. The sole is then stitched to the welt
with natural threads. The sole and heel are them prepared
as is the removing of the shoe from the mould.
|
|
5. Finish
The border of the shoe is then painted with ecological
paint and the tread is prepared with natural wax while
the upper part of the shoe is polished with wool brushes
to give it a soft and uniform touch. After a final and
strict inspection, the shoes are then packaged in the
appropriate boxes with the possibility of including
accessories for better maintenance.

Benefits of Goodyear Welted Shoes |
|
The Goodyear construction
allows for a special comfort. The insole
adapts to the foot while it filters perspiration
isolating the foot thermally from adverse
factors.
|
|
The resistance and durability
of the footwear is substantially greater
using this system rather than others. It
allows easy repairing that will prolong
the life of the shoes for many years.

Our Guarantee
|
|
There are some cares you
should have with your shoes because they
made of natural materials. Goodyear footwear
made by Trofal can be completely reconstructed
by the craftsman who manufactured them.
|
|
|
The
more use shoes have, the more comfort they bring
because they adapt anatomically to the foot. If
you have any problem with the shoes, take them to
the place of purchase where the shoes will be sent
to the factory in Benedita for repairs.
|
| Here
are some tips to help you protect your investment: |
 |
Clean the footwear with a damp cloth or brush,
then apply a high quality shoe polish. |
|
Clean the shoes regularly after use, removing
all dirt. Nobuk should be cleaned with a damp
cloth using hot water and soap. |
|
Suede
should be cleaned with an appropriate brush. |
|
Polished shoes should be cleaned with a damp
cloth and polished with polishing after they
are dry. |
|
Never
dry footwear by exposing it to direct heat.
Let it dry naturally, because direct heat
damages natural leather. |
|
If you use the shoes actively and perspire
a lot, let them dry at least one day so that
the drying of the perspiration through the
insole and the cork may be done completely
prolonging the life and durability of your
shoes. |

| Pratik
/ Stitchdown Alternative |
|
Using the same raw material, the same cutting
and the same stitching, the upper part of
the shoe is assembled directly to the insole
being also directly stitched to through
resulting in an economical alternative to
Goodyear.
