Questions
Strobel,
answered.
Can we buy Strobel uppers on their own?
Yes. We supply footwear uppers to brands and manufacturers, and build the same uppers into our own footwear.
How is the seam checked?
Upper-passing teams review stitching and component alignment against the approved product before the upper moves on to lasting. See Quality control.
