| 1 | A Goodyear insole is stitched on the upper part and a strip of canvas (known as «gemming») is cemented to the insole of the shoe, as an attach-point for the sole. | A canvas rib, known as gemming, is cemented to the insole; the upper, lining and welt are then stitched to this rib. | A sequência técnica está trocada: não se cose uma "Goodyear insole" ao corte; a gemming é colada à palmilha e é nela que se cosem o corte e o vira. Um cliente de calçado de luxo conhece o processo. |
| 2 | It is a long process, invented hundreds of years ago that is still considered one of the best methods to make shoes. | Although it dates back more than 150 years, it is still regarded as one of the finest methods of making shoes. | Contradiz a frase anterior (1869): não são "centenas de anos". |
| 3 | The machinery used in this process was created in 1869 by Charles Goodyear. | The machinery used in this process was developed in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr. | Foi o filho, Charles Goodyear Jr., que desenvolveu a máquina de coser o vira; o pai é o da borracha vulcanizada. |
| 4 | ...the shoe will have less layers, becoming more flexible and comfortable, but also more prone to become worn out and humidity. | ...the shoe has fewer layers, making it more flexible and comfortable, but also less resistant to wear and to water. | "Less layers" → "fewer"; "prone to become ... humidity" é agramatical. |
| 5 | The lining is joined stitched together like a sock fitting the last tightly. | The lining is stitched into a closed tube, like a sock, that fits tightly around the last. | "Joined stitched" é erro de edição; a frase fica incompreensível. |
| 6 | Welted-Goodyear Construction / Welted-Norwegian Construction | Goodyear Welted Construction / Norwegian Welted (Norvegese) Construction | A ordem correta em inglês (e a usada pela concorrência e pelos compradores) é "Goodyear welted". |
| 7 | THE SEARCH FOR PERFECTIONISM AND A RESTLESS SPIRIT ARE FEATURES OF THE ARTUR PINHO BRAND | THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION AND A RESTLESS SPIRIT DEFINE THE ARTUR PINHO BRAND | "Perfectionism" é um traço de personalidade (por vezes negativo); o pretendido é "perfection". |
| 8 | HERITAGE TRANSFERENCE EVOLUTION / preserving techniques that allow to maintain high quality standards / easily identified for the stitches | HERITAGE · TRANSMISSION · EVOLUTION / preserving techniques that allow us to maintain high quality standards / easily identified by the stitching | "Transference" é termo de psicologia; "allow to" exige complemento; "identified for" → "by". |

We specialise in the following constructions: Blake, Goodyear Welted, Norwegian Welted and Bologna.
Blake construction is a shoemaking method created in 1856 by Lyman Reed Blake.
The outsole is stitched directly to the insole, giving the shoe maximum flexibility and a lighter weight than Goodyear construction, which is more robust.
The Blake stitch runs inside the shoe and is made with a dedicated machine, invented by Blake for this purpose. Because the insole is stitched straight to the sole from the inside, the shoe has fewer layers, making it more flexible and comfortable, but also less resistant to wear and to water.
The machinery used in this process was developed in 1869 by Charles Goodyear Jr. Although it dates back more than 150 years, it is still regarded as one of the finest methods of making shoes, renowned for its quality and durability.
A canvas rib, known as gemming, is cemented to the insole; the upper, lining and welt are then stitched to this rib. The cavity enclosed by the welt is filled with cork or another filler (usually porous or perforated, for breathability), and the outsole is both cemented and stitched to the welt.
Norwegian welted construction, often called Norvegese, is another method of producing shoes of exceptional quality and durability.
Developed from the Goodyear method, it offers greater resistance to water and damp. Instead of running along the insole seam, as in Goodyear construction, the upper is turned outwards so that it sits on top of, and runs parallel to, the outsole.
One row of stitching joins the welt to the insole and another joins the welt to the outsole. Because the upper is turned out, Norwegian construction keeps moisture out.
It is easily identified by the stitching that runs along the base of the upper. Like Goodyear, it is stiffer than Blake construction. The visible Norwegian stitching works beautifully on both shoes and boots, adding volume and a more casual look.
Bologna construction produces a smooth, comfortable shoe. The lining is stitched into a closed tube, like a sock, that fits tightly around the last. The leather upper is then attached to the sole using Blake stitching. The result is an exceptionally clean-looking, flexible shoe.
