What's more formal, a Derby or an Oxford? What shoe color should I get with my formal suit? And what in the world is broguing?

With the overwhelming amount of questions such as these, it's definitely challenging for someone looking to find a leather shoe to just pick one out of the myriad of shoe types out there.

In this pubmat, we'll be showing the most common types of leather shoes out there, as well as the different factors and details that affect their formality.

Now, let's dive deeper and focus on another very important part of the leather shoe, its sole.

The sole is what makes or breaks a shoe. It is the most important part of the shoe's comfortability, for it is the only thing between the user and the ground.

In this pubmat, we introduce the three main parts of the sole, as well as some of the additional layers which you may find in between them. We also further explore the types of stitching which connect the sole to the upper.

This information is fundamental to people who are getting a custom shoe made, as well as people who plan on getting a pair of leather shoes repaired.

From the initial designing of the shoe to its final polish, for our next two pubmats we'll be going into the process of leather shoemaking!

We'll be showing the different tools and how they are used in shoemaking, as well as the complexity of all the different steps in developing the final product.

Have you ever wondered how much time and effort it actually takes to make leather shoes? Let's find out!

The most important part of a leather shoe is, no doubt, the leather itself!!

For our first pubmat, we focused on introducing the parts of a formal leather shoe, the most commonly used types of materials, and how the process of tanning affects the leather material.

This information is vital for prospective buyers, especially people who plan on getting a shoe custom made!
