How to make a pair of beautiful, expensive, atmospheric high-heeled shoes, an old shoemaker: tried and tested

Everyone can't live without shoes.About history of shoes,about 5000 years ago during Yangshao culture period, most primitive shoes made from animal skins appeared.Shoes 鞜.

With development of time, more and more styles of shoes appear, and it becomes more and more comfortable to wear.

Today I will introduce you to how beautiful, high-quality and atmospheric high-heeled shoes are made.

First of all, let me introduce you to my situation. I entered shoe factory after graduating from high school. I have been developing and designing for over 20 years, and I can be considered an old shoemaker.

Scheme of models of high-heeled shoes

If you want to create a pair of beautiful and comfortable shoes, you first need to create a last.

Last making method: 1. First, make midsole plate, connect it with base of last to be designed, and then fill last with plastic according to style of shoes to be designed (place last on heel, heel must be stable, cannot be kicked forward and fall back, otherwise shoes will not be worn consistently, and warping of toe is about 0.8 by 1 cm).

2. After last boot has come out, you should first make easiest boot to try on your feet. Typically you make a size 37 boot to try on your feet. Regardless of whether they are flat or not, it takes at least 3 attempts to fix shoe to finish, it still needs to be repaired and sanded.

With help of shoe lasts, we can create different styles. Shoe design is mainly divided into two parts: upper design and bottom design. The bottom design is relatively simple. , The bottom is mainly composed of midsole and outsole, midsole must be processed and combined by midsole plate, waist, flat plate and waist iron according to width of last.

The vamp design is constantly changing and a variety of shoes can be designed. According to different lasts, we can design sandals, slippers, autumn shoes, hollow shoes, bag shoes, boots, short boots, etc., it can be one mesh, ten meshes, even dozens of meshes, of course, simpler, better for production needs.

Once style is developed, upper is completed and then upper is sharpened, upper sole, upper heel, nails and midsole fabric are attached and a beautiful model is created.

This is just beginning of shoe production. Each factory has a meeting room, at least one designer, one bottom assistant, and one face assistant. This is simplest.

What needs to be done as soon as an order arrives at factory?

01. Try again with coordinates of grid. Try again with coordinates of shoe you want to produce, then change it to match shoe size. upper (very simple , small place plus, big place minus)

02. Place grid, mark grid to be placed, and write advance and retreat according to customer's requirements. Advance and retreat in Europe and United States is generally 6.6x4.5, this is usually a professional style, and large goods are usually made between 36 and 41 yards.

03. Make knife molds and make shoe lasts. Mark placed grids, such as marks for each footage, scissors, etc., and then manually it to knife mold factory; To make shoes durable, just give mother last, heel and midsole to latest shoe factory, they can help you solve problem.

04. Cutting, vamp, shoe lining, midsole, waistband, aircraft side, sole, etc. in a die processing factory)

05. Facial processing. Facial processing is usually completed with a sewing machine and a folding surface. The folding surface is responsible for folding, hot melt adhesive, lining and other processes. The sewing machine is responsible for threading, pressing, trimming and other processes.

06. Molding (also called hard shoes). Vample, midsole, outsole and last are available, after which you can make a finished shoe. casting is an assembly line operation which is divided into front part, middle part and back part. The front section is responsible for cinching waist, middle section is responsible for top bottom, and back section is responsible for clogging and packing, all in one go.

The quality of a pair of qualified shoes starts from front. After top is finished, dedicated quality inspectors check for quality issues with each pair of tops. Only those tops that pass test go on to next link - Maine. shoes.

After shoes are shaped, each pair should be inspected in usual way. There should be no glue leaks or refining, let alone nails under sole. Previously, a nail was found in shoes from a certain company, which caused entire container to be returned to box. In addition, you were fined, so risk of shoemaking is still quite high, and a single nail can ruin you.

Quality check of face

Packing shoes is also very important. If not done well, shoes will be easily deformed and moldy from moisture. Therefore, each pair of shoes must be stuffed with paper, tags, labels, various desiccants and small boxes. After it is installed, it must be packed in a large box according to number of yards so that it is considered complete.

Packaging

A pair of shoes may seem simple, but there are actually many processes involved. The most important processing plants in entire production chain include fabric clip factories, computer grills, knife mold factories and shoe lasts. , factory, medium and large sole processing factory, embroidery factory, laser processing factory and various processing factories. Generally, front and molding are done in our own factories. Therefore, it is necessary to make a pair of beautiful, high-quality, atmospheric and comfortable shoes must go through a lot of hardening before going out. What the old shoemaker said is not an exaggeration.
