Our craft

Docksta has been manufacturing shoes in Sweden since 1923. For over a hundred years we have delivered high quality from our factory in the High Coast. Our knowledge is based on the choice of raw materials, construction methods and advanced technologies. We are proud of our craftsmanship and our customers who have worn them over the years. Since 2015, the Edin family has been the third family constellation to run the Docksta shoe factory and the ambition is to continue to develop the company. Docksta to the world and the world to Docksta is our vision.

Slippers are the model that Docksta is most often associated with, but the factory also manufactures several other models. Here you can see our range.

Upper parts

The raw material is crucial for the final product. Docksta purchases all leather directly from the tanneries to ensure that we always work with the highest quality. We punch out the finest parts of the leather as uppers for our shoes before sewing on edging and decorative seams with high precision. Our fabric shoes are also laminated on leather slats to maintain their shape and be usable for a longer period of time.

Last

When the upper is ready, it must be attached to the last that gives the shoe its shape. This step is called lasting and is done by first moistening the leather and then stapling it tightly around the wooden last with small pins. After it has dried for a day or so, it is time to cut away the excess around the last and then, using a stitch down sewing machine, sew a welt ribb that attaches the upper to the lasting board. This strong construction is called sandal stitching or stitchdown in a factory environment. It is a time-consuming craft, but the result speaks for itself. Hard-wearing shoes that are often inherited for generations.

Bottoming

Portugal is the world's largest producer of cork, which comes from the bark of the cork oak. Harvesting cork is a traditional and sustainable process with a solid regulatory framework, which allows the tree to live for over 200 years and produce cork without being cut down.

We source all the cork locally in Portugal to get the perfect pieces for our soles. Once the cork heels and sole material have been pressed together, it is time to mill and sand the soles. Each shoe is carefully inspected and every detail needs to be perfect for good comfort and long durability.

Our craftsmanship is our pride and we continuously continue to develop it.
