The Blake Stitching Technique
At the heart of our shoe collection lies the renowned Blake stitching technique — an artful method that fuses tradition with innovation. Developed in the mid-19th century by Luman Reed Blake, this method revolutionized the world of shoemaking and continues to earn praise for its ability to deliver exceptional comfort, flexibility, and durability.
Alexander Noel’s Blake stitch shoes involve stitching the upper directly to the sole. Unlike other methods that use separate welts, this technique creates a sleek and streamlined look, allowing the shoe to form around the foot. The result? A glove-like fit and refined aesthetic that effortlessly merges contemporary trends with timeless elegance.
Expert Techniques and Attention to Detail
Behind every pair of our Blake stitch shoes is a team of skilled artisans dedicated to their craft. We understand that every custom design has its own character: You have a unique style, personality, and story. That’s why we work tirelessly to ensure flawless execution of every stitch for a seamless and durable bond and unmatched artistry anywhere you go.
Sturdy Soles for Support and Comfort
Using this shoemaking method, the absence of a welt allows our pairs to have a thinner and more flexible sole, promoting natural foot movement and enhancing overall comfort without compromising sturdiness.
