Then, Northampton became famous as a mecca of shoemaking when it adopted the Goodyear welt method developed in the U.S. and mass-produced shoes for the military during the Puritan Revolution. The history of the town of Northampton is behind the history of Church, which is also known as a brand that tailors the Goodyear welt method with the world’s leading quality.

The Goodyear welt method involves first sewing the inner sole and instep leather to a narrow leather “welt” and then sewing the main sole to the welt. Since the upper and outsole can be easily removed, the shoes are easy to repair and durable, and can be worn for a long time. In addition, since the inner soles are sewn with an abundance of cork, the more they are worn, the more they conform to the foot, making them suitable for walking for long periods of time. One of the characteristics of the Diplomat’s Goodyear welt manufacturing method is that it does not attack the heel to the extreme, but leaves an overhang to emphasize robustness.
