Does anyone know if there are Goodyear welt? Also is it top grain leather? Corrected?

itzyahotboiThe specs say "Full rapid-stitch construction (resolable)", so I take that to mean Blake-rapid (which is fine). No idea about the leather though.

SidewinderXHi guys - thanks for reaching out. This is Mike from Founders. Correct, it's top grain leather and a Blake-Rapid construction with full leather insole, full leather midsole, full leather outsole and then a single Vibram rubber sole on top of that.
Feel free to keep coming with the questions!
Thanks.

I should also mention, we're going to remove the commentary about sizing down 1/2 size - these boots fit True To Size.

itzyahotboiNot to be too much of a pedant, but goodyear isn't the only way to make a high quality shoe, despite what people will say on sites like Reddit and Styleforum. Maybe you're aware of this, but I'm adding it for anyone who runs around thinking they need to only buy goodyear shoes now that Reddit told them to do so. Some excellent shoes use blake rapid, in many cases much better than your average goodyear welted shoes. Not that there's anything wrong with goodyear either.
It's time to stop looking at shoe constructions as a sequence of boss battles in a side scrolling video game.
