Redell Black method
At Calce, we utilize our proprietary manufacturing method, Redell Black, which is an artisanal technique employed in footwear production that combines tradition, manual dexterity, and attention to detail to create high-quality shoes with exceptional comfort.
In the Redell Black process, each shoe is assembled with meticulous attention to detail. It begins with the selection of the finest materials, including premium leathers and durable components. These materials are cut and prepared meticulously to ensure quality and consistency in every pair of shoes.
The distinctive feature of the Redell Black method is the creation of an internal “bag” or “glove” within the shoe that wraps around the foot. This bag is constructed by hand-stitching the lining, insole, and upper leather, creating a seamless bond that naturally conforms to the shape of the foot. This flexible, seamless construction not only enhances comfort but also provides greater durability to the shoe.
Once the internal parts of the shoe are assembled, the sole is attached. The sole is bonded to the rest of the footwear in a way that appears nearly invisible, providing enhanced flexibility and an elegant aesthetic.
The Redell Black method requires a high level of skill from the artisans who practice it. Every step of the process is carried out by hand with precision and care, from the cutting of materials to the final stitching. This attention to detail ensures that each pair of shoes manufactured by Calce is unique and crafted to the highest standards of quality.
