Passionate about technology that supports tradition
cemented
This is the cheapest, fastest, and most common method of attaching the sole of a shoe. Once the upper is shaped and completed around the last, the sole is attached with an adhesive and no welting is used.
Strobel
Used for most athletic shoes, Strobel requires the upper material to be sewn to a fabric bottom creating a “sock.” The upper and bottom are joined by a Strobel stitch, using a Strobel machine. With the upper sock tightly lasted, the upper is cemented to the outsole completing the shoe.
Stitchdown
At Vercesa, we take pride in our innovative shoe construction methods. Stitchdown, a technique used in crafting high-quality shoes, involves turning the lasting allowance outward to create a visible seam along the upper edge of the sole. The insole is carefully cement-lasted to the upper edge, and a thin micro-cellular midsole may be temporarily cemented to the insole for added comfort.
Our skilled artisans use precise stitching techniques to join the upper and sole, ensuring that each shoe is crafted to perfection. This method is often used in premium shoe brands and is known for its durability and flexibility.
At Vercesa, we are committed to using the finest materials and craftsmanship techniques to create shoes that are both stylish and functional. Our stitchdown shoes are no exception, and we are proud to offer this construction method to our clients who demand the best.
Hell
On most shows, the "heel" sits under only the heel of the foot, but a wedge heel runs under the foot, from the back of the shoe to the middle or front. As you've probably guessed, it has a somewhat triangular, wedge shape, but not all wedges are high heels. In fact, wedge heels range from low to high, it's the shape and the length of the heel that classify it as a wedge.

Dip dyed
This unique process involves immersing the shoes in dye to create a gradient effect that is both stylish and modern. Our team of skilled craftsmen and women carefully oversee the entire process, ensuring that each pair of shoes is dyed to perfection.
Boat shoe
Our boat shoes, also known as deck shoes, are crafted using a moccasin construction technique that allows the soft leather, like nubuck, to sit underneath the sole and conform to the shape of your foot over time. The result is a fit that feels custom-made from the moment you slip them on.
Of course, the perfect fit also requires a sturdy lace-up system, and our boat shoes feature a traditional one-lace design with leather cord laces that wrap around the foot and tie securely at the front.
Stone Washed
At Vercesa, we take pride in our unique stone wash finishing technique for shoes, which gives them a vintage and worn look. This process involves tumbling the shoes in a rotating drum with abrasive stones and other materials, which wear away the surface and create a distinctive texture.
Our skilled artisans carefully control the process to ensure that each pair of shoes achieves the perfect level of distressing, giving them a one-of-a-kind look that can't be replicated. Whether you're looking for a casual or edgy style, our stone wash finishing technique can give your shoes that perfectly worn-in vibe.
At Vercesa, we're always exploring new and innovative techniques to create shoes that are not only stylish but also built to last. So if you're looking for a unique and vintage look for your footwear, look no further than our stone wash finishing technique.
