Harrys of London fan confirms shoes work well in wet streets
05/12/2013
Mr Hervey told the newspaper that he liked the fact that Harrys shoes are traditional and handmade but have a technical aspect. “These have injected rubber soles,” he said, “which means my feet are always dry. It is a full leather sole but this weird injecting thing they’ve done works well living in London.”
In addition to sourcing its leathers “for their unique character and exceptional quality” from high-end tanners in France and Italy, Harrys confirms that its leather soles are “injected with a rubber island’ using rubber-injection technology developed for the sports shoe industry. The rubber compound enters an opening in the leather sole as a high-pressure liquid and is fused with the leather to create one mass. “The added traction is great for wet streets and provides an extra level of wear-and-tear,” the company says.
