Can Someone Tell Me If These Shoes Are Goodyear-Welted?

[pledge]

First, thank you to the few of you who replied to my IM on this very question. As a follow-up to my thread yesterday, entitled "Three Wingtips", I decided to purchase the Santoni FAMs, linked to here:

Can anyone with a keen eye, or better yet, someone who already owns these shoes, tell me if, in fact, these shoes are Goodyear-welted, orange sock-liner notwithstanding, or whether they are constructed using Blake-stitching? I know it should not really matter, but I would still like to know, if for no other reason than my own edification.

Thanks in advance to all who reply. This Forum has treated me very well.

Can't tell for sure but it looks like a Goodyear.

With the pictures you have, impossible to tell. One would need to see the outsole and look inside the shoes.

Thank you both for your replies. I will give an update once I receive the shoes.
