Leather Channeling
Our shoes are stitched to a leather channel on the insole unlike most factory made shoes where it is stitched to a gemmed cotton rib.
Whole Day Comfort
The thicker insole adds more stability and support to the feet resulting in a more comfortable experience even over an extended period of wear.
Sharp Feather Edge Shape
Compared to a cotton rib, a welt stitched to a leather channel in the insole sits flatter on the shoe giving it a sharper feather edge.
Quicker break-in period
The combination of a thick insole and the welt sitting almost in-line with the insole, reduces the break-in period of the shoe significantly.
Standard Features Of Bridlen Shoes
1
3D Attachment
The upper components are attached together on a last as opposed to on a flat surface. It gives definition of shape to the upper even before the lasting process allowing for lesser pressure needed during lasting. This in turn keeps the natural feeling of the leather intact and gives the overall shoes a more well defined shape.
2
Minimal Adhesives
The 3D attachments allow for very little and weak adhesives to be used only along the edges keeping the breathability of the premium leathers intact. It allows for the leather to age more naturally over time.

Materials
The seat area fits more snug to the heel as leather board counter is a more breathable and living material adding to a comfortable and good fit. The heels are stacked layer by layer and nailed top-down making for a robust yet clean, premium finish.
Features of Oak Bark Tanned Outsoles
Traditional oak-bark ground-tanning is a process involving biodegradable tanning agents such as bark and fruit.
Oak bark tanned outsoles are waterproof and extremely abrasion resistant, flexible while having structure, comfortable to wear and break in and can distinguished by its attractive grain and warm, woody colour.
360° Channeling Goodyear Welted
In 360° Channeling welted Goodyear, we use the same full substance (5mm to 6mm) leather bends as bespoke shoe making and create a channel by slitting open the edge of the insole.
The thicker insole in more comfortable and the break-in period of the shoe is shorter.
Reputed Tanneries
The Founders line utilizes materials from these tanneriers. Our full grain Box Calf leather is sourced from the tanneries of Annonay, Du Puy and Weinheimer. suedes from Charles F. Stead in England, lining leathers are made locally in LWG certified micro tanneries
