In Focus: Blake Stitching

As you slip your feet into a pair of EOS shoes, you'll immediately feel the difference in the quality of the materials used. But what makes some of our shoes even more special is the stitching techniques we use, one of being: Blake Stitching.

Named after its inventor, Lyman Reed Blake, Blake stitching originated in the mid-19th century, and is a method that has stood the test of time. It involves stitching the upper, insole, and outsole of the shoe directly together, creating a sleek and streamlined look. At EOS, we take pride in the fact that our shoes are constructed using this method, as it allows us to create shoes that are not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable.

Blake Stitching Footwear Technique

 

The benefits of Blake Stitching are numerous. First, the lack of a midsole means the shoe is more flexible and allows for greater freedom of movement. The stitching also creates a tight seal that makes the shoe more waterproof and durable. This makes Blake Stitching the perfect choice for a variety of environments, from city streets to rural landscapes. A versatility in our shoes identity, we at EOS take great pride in.

At EOS, we define ourselves by the quality of our shoes, and that's why we employ Blake Stitching in our range. This construction method results in a shoe that is not only comfortable but also durable and long-lasting.

But Blake Stitching is not just about comfort and durability; it also adds an elegant touch to the overall design of the shoe. By stitching the outsole to the upper from the inside of the shoe, the Blake Stitch creates a clean and polished look, without the need for visible stitching or welting. This makes Blake Stitched shoes a popular choice for those who want a sleek and refined look.

At EOS, we're proud to offer Blake Stitched shoes, but we also understand that it's not the right choice for every style. That's why we also use other construction methods, depending on the design and purpose of the shoe. Our mission is to provide our customers with a range of high-quality shoes that are not only stylish but also comfortable, functional, and versatile.
