HAND MADE MAKERS OF THE FINEST LEATHER SHOES

Good Year Welted

Hand Made was founded in 2010 in Islamabad, where they specialize in the manufacture of high quality Goodyear-welted footwear. For men there are 3 ranges produced by Hand Made (Hand Grade Collection, Main Collection and Shell Cordovan Collection)

Although the production process has evolved since the early days of shoe-making, with the introduction of more reliable machinery and ‘health & safety’, much of the factory looks as it did when it was first built. The manufacture of high quality Goodyear welted shoes remains very labor-intensive, requiring a highly skilled workforce to carry out. Goodyear-Welted construction gives the shoes an exceptional degree of strength, durability and comfort in wear. This method originated by hand makers centuries ago.

Hand Made is committed to maintaining the highest standards of traditional craftsmanship, quality and service which have been appreciated by their customers for more than 12 years.
