The Hand Sewn Sneaker is built entirely by hand using FEIT modified Goodyear construction, it features all-natural materials, a one-piece vegetable-tanned leather upper handstitched at the heel, and unlined raw edges. The leather is thick and robust but has been softened by the drum dying process. During construction, the shoe is exposed to light steam and humidity over 10 days, which helps tighten the leather to enhance both the shape and fit. All FEIT shoes are made from start to finish by one master craftsman. Each style is made in limited numbers.
