Glue-Free Stitching Technology

Crafted for Comfort, Durability, and Sustainability

At AKS Footwear, we specialize in women’s footwear produced with glue-free stitching construction, replacing traditional chemical adhesives with precise stitching techniques. This method reflects our commitment to comfort, long-lasting quality, and environmental responsibility — values that matter deeply in the European market.

What Is Glue-Free Stitching?

Glue-free stitching is a construction method where the upper and sole are securely connected through stitching, rather than relying on chemical glue. This process requires higher craftsmanship and stricter production control, but results in a shoe that performs better over time.
