Model Archive – Soffice & Solid

Union Royal released a child brand in 2003, the selling point is Bolognese Goodyear construction. I know it may puzzle a lot of people, because basically Bolognese construction is a fork of Blake stitches, and the difference is the upper is circled up till the bottom. Plus Goodyear, which means the middle sole is stitched to upper and outsole in the mean time.

The two words in the brand name, Soffice represents soft, which Bolognese gives, Solid means sturdy offered by Goodyear.

The concept is clearly and not bad, let us check whether the models are attractive.

Remark

Price starts at 580 USD, and all made in Japan. I feel its style is very close to Gaziano & Girling while lack of the exquisiteness. But the unique construction is interesting enough.
