What to know about Goral
They own the factory
Shoes are made at Goral's own Spital Hill factory in Sheffield by around 40 craftspeople, so the brand controls production rather than outsourcing it.
Blake stitch means resoleable
Blake-stitch construction lets shoes be taken apart and resoled through the brand's Rebuild+ service, so a pair is meant to be repaired rather than replaced.
1936 Krakow, then Sheffield
The family started shoemaking in Poland in 1936, moved to England in 2005 and into manufacturing in 2008 before launching this consumer label in 2018.
