Franks Footwear, Inc was established in 2015 with one goal in mind: to bring our clients the most unique footwear from around the world right to their doorsteps. Also, our idea and strategy is to empower the capacity of production of the bespoke service and imbue the virtues of the bespoke service into a state of the art ready-to-wear. This is our (developing) story.
There are three basic methods of shoe construction: cementing, Blake welting, and Goodyear welting. For our Mens Dress collection, we use both Blake and Original Goodyear welting methods. Each of them has its advantages, and defines how the sole is attached to the upper. When talking about high-end footwear, the Goodyear Welt is often contrasted with the Blake stitch. With the Blake stitch, the upper is sewn directly to the sole, and it generally creates a more flexible type of shoe. On the other side, Original Goodyear Welting process has been associated with excellence and superior workmanship, involving +50 craftsmen and +100 handcrafted phases on each pair.
Patina is an art crafted and designed for shoes by Olga Berluti in the 80’s. She thought nothing was more beautiful than a shoe burnished by time itself, a shoe whose color was partly worn away. “Only those possess a soul,” she said.Our patina technique, provided by Mario Rodriguez, one of the best patina artists of the country, starts with a very specific type of crust leather. Colors are given by hand, applying natural pigments, and using different types of handmade techniques, to create different textures.
