I have no clue how they would work as hiking boots.
Norwegian welt work boots.
Unlike the norwegian but similar to the goodyear construction the welt stitch is not visible from the outside of the shoe and the two exterior stitches are both connected to mid and outsole respectively making for a sturdy construction often used in hard wearing work boots like the american wesco or canadian viberg.
On certain models a reinforcing strip also known as a reverse welt or norwegian welt may also be stitched to the outside of the flange.
Scarpa makes a classic style boot called the rio 249 u s.
The flange is then secured to the midsole.
A good example of this are the rider boot ottowa s.
I mostly agree with everything in this post.
For example hiking boots with no rubber rand tend to cost less than 100 while tall hunting boots with rubber rands are more expensive.
This is called outflanging.
Norwegian and goodyear welt boots are relatively easy to resole but can also be rebuilt i e.
These boots are available in men s and women s models.
It is similar to a goodyear welt in many ways.
They re true to size so feel free to order.
The zamberlan 1023 latemar nw is a modern classic perfectly melding old world craftsmanship with new world materials.
The stitching that holds.
I trash them on the trail and move them to yardwork status and.
The latemar nw is our most popular leather lined norwegian welted boot and is built for backcountry excursions where rugged durability reliability and comfort are required be it for work or pleasure.
One very durable boot.
I ve given up on heavy boots for 3 season hiking and have moved to lightweight hikers too for all the reasons you describe.
This area can be a problem for traditional goodyear welted shoes in wet conditions.
Restitched which is more expensive.
As with the desert.
Work and hiking boots often have a simple lockstitch comprising the norwegian welt stitch.
By the way doc martins are norwegian welt construction boots.
As an alternative norwegian welts have historically been used on ski boots and.
These are a stitchdown norwegian because the upper is stitched directly to the sole and then the norwegian stitch is added.
They re even compatible with strap on crampons.
As a result the finished boot has an upper secured by two strong rows of stitching.
The norwegian welt also known as a storm welt or water proof welt is notable as it prevents water from entering the shoe at the seam between the shoes upper and the welt.
