What kind of sole is the 'cementing sole' mentioned in the description, and how is it made?
This is to understand what specific structure and characteristics the unfamiliar term 'cementing sole method' listed in the Breath Slides product specifications refers to.
It is a manufacturing method where the upper part of the shoe and the leather sole are securely fixed together by strongly pressing them with a special adhesive rather than stitching them with thread.
POST ARCHIVE FACTION's Breath Slides are filled with 100% cowhide, from the inner lining that touches the foot to the sole that touches the ground[1][2][3]. Leather from the German Heinen tannery, which opened in 1891, is used, and perforation decorations in soft curved shapes are added to the instep area[4][5]. In general, cowhide soles have excellent breathability and the characteristic of becoming flexible to match the wearer's foot shape as they walk.
The cementing method used when joining this leather sole is a method of fixing the sole by pressing it with high-performance adhesive without sewing with a needle[6]. Because the seam lines are not exposed on the outside, the shoe's silhouette remains much smoother and sleeker. It is a construction method that reduces moisture from seeping through stitch holes and preserves the slide's uniquely light step.
The specific thickness of the cowhide sole or whether non-slip treatment was applied has not yet been confirmed.
