Redell Black Manufacturing
At Calce we use the proprietary Redell Black manufacturing method, which is an artisanal technique used in the production of footwear that combines tradition, manual dexterity and attention to detail to create shoes of high quality and exceptional comfort.
In the Redell Black process, each shoe is assembled with careful attention to detail. It starts with selecting the best materials, including premium leathers and durable components. These materials are meticulously cut and prepared to ensure quality and consistency in each pair of shoes.
The distinguishing feature of the Redell Black method is the creation of an internal “bag” or “glove” inside the shoe that will envelop the foot. This bag is constructed by hand-sewing the lining, insole and upper leather together, creating a seamless bond that naturally conforms to the shape of the foot. This flexible, seamless construction not only improves comfort, but also provides increased durability to the shoe.
Once the internal parts of the shoe have been assembled, the sole is attached. The sole is attached to the rest of the shoe so that it appears almost invisible, providing greater flexibility and a sleek aesthetic.
The Redell Black method requires a high level of skill on the part of the craftsmen who practice it. Every step of the process is done by hand with precision and care, from the cutting of the materials to the final stitching. This attention to detail ensures that each pair of shoes manufactured by Calce is unique and made to the highest quality standards.
