Between the insole and the sole there is a cork filling with gives the shoes good flexibility and breathability of the foot. A shoe with Goodyear construction has no midsole, only a welt sewn to the insole and the cork filling. It has a good flexibility and can be resoled, as well as the Blake Rapid shoe
