Veldtschoen Construction

This type of construction provides a sturdy more waterproof shoe or boot - it is therefore used to make country style footwear. Only a limited number of shoemakers now possess the skills and expertise necessary to make Veldtschoen constructed shoes. The waterproof characteristics are obtained by double stitching the upper to the midsole. This means water is much less likely to seep through the two lines of stitching, and ensures the boots are more sturdy than their single stitched Goodyear welted counter parts.
