How is a Modesto Bertotto shoe made?
There are various steps that allow the creation of a handcrafted shoe.
Preparation of the uppers
The upper is the upper part of the shoe, formed by a shaped piece, attached to the sole through a seam. The cutting of the upper leathers must be very precise and is done by hand or laser.
Hemming
In the sewing phase, the assembly of all the parts just cut is done by hand and must respect the direction of the leather in order to guarantee maximum elasticity to the foot.
This process is long and expensive, it distinguishes the quality shoe, since it allows the reinforcements to be inserted inside the upper to make the strong shoe comfortable, elegant and at the same time harmonious.
Intertwining of the skin
The upper can also be made with interweaving. In our Neapolitan laboratory this process is performed only by hand.
Assembly
Assembly is the assembly operation of each single component of the shoe, the upper is then sewn to the insole and sole. The insoles used are only in cowhide, in order to secure the foot comfort and breathability.
Checking the soles and finishing
This step is also done by hand. All the details must fully reflect the quality standards, so that a perfect pair of shoes can be made. The quality of the sole is essential to give the necessary elasticity to the shoe and make the fit and the walk pleasant
Finishing of the upper
The last operation is the dyeing and the polishing final of the shoe made according to its final use. In this final phase, colors and creams are used to give the shoe shine and softness. Brighter and shinier finishes for ceremonial footwear or more opaque and vintage finishes for more sporty shoes.
