The Goodyear welt may be the biggest buzzword in mens shoes, but what exactly is it? The Goodyear welting method is an excellent method of building a shoe but it's by no means the only method you should consider. The Blake stitch, Blake rapid, cementing, bologna, and Norwegian styles all have their pros and cons and it's important to know which fills your need best.
Goodyear welt comfortable, water resistant, but can be stiff at first.
Blake stitch Close cropped sole for a sleek look, can wick moisture into the shoe and more difficult to resole.
Blake Rapid A hybrid of Goodyear and Blake: stiffer than Blake but not as water resistant as Goodyear.
Cement Cheap, flexible, best for "beater shoes" or sneakers.
Bologna Extremely flexible, but not very water resistant or supportive.
Norwegian The most water resistant, also the least flexible with a very noticeable welt.

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it highquality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well, and allows you to buy less and buy better.
