Bench-made shoes are hand-lasted and hand-welted in a series of meticulously executed tasks by skilled craftsmen. The term is often incorrectly interpreted to mean 100 percent handcrafted, but most manufacturers use machines to do about 75 percent of tasks involved in making bench-made shoes. However, bench-made shoes do reflect a higher level of detail because of the painstaking handcrafting involved in their production.
