Our Commitment
TO YOU.
Thorocraft holds onto a solid and continuous commitment to four basic principles: craftsmanship, quality, durability, and comfort. All materials and fabrications are genuinely manufactured and hand-made in Vietnam and Italy in limited numbers. One of Thorocraft’s most recognized aspect is the stringent enforcement of quality control standards in every shoe manufactured. Thorocraft, we are thoroughly crafted.
Our Craftsmanship
CONTINUOUS EFFORT
Inspecting Leather
The basic element in producing quality footwear is leather. Our
leathers are of the finest grade available. Every inch of leather
that’s chosen to be crafted into footwear is thoroughly inspected
for durability and flexibility.
Cutting
After thorough inspection, our premium grade leather hides are
then hand cut and sorted into sections. They are then inspected
once again for quality and consistency before reaching assembly.
Stitching
Being assembled, the leather sections are stamped, formed, and
stitched together by hand. The craftsmanship and leather are then
inspected against the highest of standards before being sent off
to “lasting”.
Lasting
The boot truly begins to take shape at this point. The upper position
is formed and shaped over a temporary “last”, which basically is
replication of a foot. This allows the attachment of the insole.
This, as with all the stages, is done primarily by hand.
Bottoming
The attachment of the sole is the final crafting procedure. The
term “bottomed” is achieved when our durable, long lasting, soles
are permanently attached. As always, the shoe is then inspected
for seasonal elements.
Finishing
The pre-finished shoe is then trimmed, cleaned, and treated. Each
and every shoe is then hand inspected before being packaged.
Final Inspection
Our final inspection, will double check every stitch to sole, to
verify the completed product is of our highest standards of craftsmanship,
quality, durability, and comfort.
