bikeman564™ Posted January 6 Share #1 Posted January 6 Needed a casual pair of shoes for work so I stopped at Kohl's on the way home yesterday to buy skechers. I've had a couple pairs and they're comfy. I never seen shoes w/ Goodyear on them Anywho these are nice. They're slip on like old people shoes. But they don't look like it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted January 6 Share #3 Posted January 6 They've been working on it a while. A Goodyear welt is a strip of leather, rubber, or plastic that runs along the perimeter of a shoe outsole.[1] The machinery used for the process was invented in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr., the son of Charles Goodyear.[2] It has been noted by historians that Goodyear was a frequent visitor to the shoe factory of William J. Dudley, founder of Johnston & Murphy, where early work on sole stitching equipment was performed.[3] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted January 7 Share #13 Posted January 7 I have my eye on some kohls shoes that are slip ons. They are 10.5 but they fit and I normally wear 9s, but the 9s I got for Christmas from Amazon did not fit worth shit. Will go back now that the 30% off is in effect and I f got $5 Kohls cash for returning to Amazon there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
