Choosing cemented-construction footwear
What is cemented shoe construction?
Cemented construction uses adhesive to bond the upper assembly to the sole. It describes how a shoe is assembled, rather than its leather type, tread pattern or toe shape. Check the materials and construction section on each product page for the details of that pair.
Cemented or Goodyear welted?
With Goodyear-welted footwear, a welt forms part of the stitched connection between the upper assembly and outsole. If future repairs matter to you, ask about the specific model and have a cobbler assess its suitability for resoling. For a cemented pair, compare the sole material, shape and fit alongside the construction method.
Choose the shape for your wardrobe
Start with Derby shoes for adjustable open lacing, Chelsea boots for a pull-on silhouette, or lace-up and ankle boots for other fastening and shaft designs. Browse platform and lug-sole styles if you prefer more substantial proportions.
Check the fit before ordering
Compare your measurements with the Valtvero size guide and check the selected product's sizing notes. For help with a particular style, contact us with your foot length and width. Review the returns and exchanges policy before purchasing.
