Leather (out) sole: single butt vegetable tanned
Leather outsole is vegetable tanned leather almost exclusively used to make soles of shoes. Its main features are stiffness and thickness . Its increased stiffness is essential for creating comfortable soles, while its high thickness (about 4.5 mm ) ensures great resistance. Single butts butts are made from central part of the whole skin, just below animal's shoulders (as you can see in the image below).
Although single (and double) butts are the ideal skin for belts (thanks to their square shape), they are also very indicated for leather outsoles, thanks to their high thickness, despite also shoulder and bellies are suitable for this use.
Single butts of leather soles are also perfect leather for tooling thanks to their hard temper and vegetable tanning, two fundamental qualities in order to make this kind of craftsmanship.
