HOW WE DO IT

Our construction capabilities encompass Goodyear Welt and Cement bonding.
Operating from a 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, American Sole has a monthly production capacity exceeding 30,000 boots and shoes. To ensure the highest quality standards, our manufacturing machinery and equipment are sourced from the United States, Europe, and other regions.
No raw materials enter the warehouse without undergoing rigorous quality checks and testing in our accredited on-site laboratory.
