Craftsmanship
The difference is
in the details.
A Koch & Co. shoe is built the slow way. Cut, closed, lasted and welted by hand in Agra, then finished to last decades rather than seasons.
01
Goodyear welted
Three careful layers of stitching, anchored by a lockstitch, give the whole structure its firmness. The most durable form of shoe construction there is.
02
Eight craftsmen, one pair
Every shoe passes through eight pairs of hands, each an expert in a single stage of the craft, many carrying skills passed down through generations.
03
Full grain leather
The most durable and flexible leather there is. It stretches to the shape of your foot and gains a patina with every year of wear.
Made once, worn for decades
Built to be rebuilt.
Because the welt is stitched rather than glued, the sole can be taken off and replaced, again and again. When the sole wears out, the shoe doesn't. A pair bought once can be resoled and worn for decades, which is the difference between footwear that is replaced and footwear that is kept.
Beauty comes from quality, quality comes from care. At KOCH & CO., we care.
