Shoe Making- How Shoes
are Made
Footwear can be
defined as garments that are worn on the feet. There main purpose
is protecting one's feet. Of late, footwear has become an
important component of fashion accessories. Although, their basic
purpose remains that of protection, adornment or defining style
statement has become their additional and a significant function.
There are many types of footwear- shoes, boots, sandals, slippers
etc. They are further categorized into many more types.
Shoes and Shoe making
Shoes are further
divided into many categories such as athletic shoes also known as
sneakers, galoshes, high heels, Stiletto heels, kitten heels,
lace-up shoes, high-Tops, loafers, Mary Janes, platform shoes,
school shoes and many others. Shoemaking can be considered a
traditional handicraft profession. However, now it has been largely
taken over by industrial manufacture of footwear. A variety of
materials are used for making shoes- leather fabrics, plastic,
rubber, fabrics, wood, jute fabrics, and metal. More than **0
operations are required for making a pair of shoes. However, with
the development of modern machines, a pair of shoes can be made in
very less time as each step in its manufacturing is generally
performed by a separate footwear making machine.
Parts of a Shoe
A shoe consists of sole, insole, outsole, midsole, heel, and vamp
(upper). They are the basic parts of a shoe that are mostly
included in all types off shoes. Other parts of a shoe are lining,
tongue, quarter, welt and backstay. These parts are included as per
the design of the shoes.
Sole:The exterior bottom part of a shoe is the sole.
Insole:The interior bottom of a shoe, which sits directly
beneath the foot, is its insole. They can be removable and
replaceable too. In some of the shoes, extra insoles are often
added for comfort, health or other reasons, such as to control the
shape, moisture, or smell of the shoe.
Outsole:It is that layer of the shoe that is in direct
contact with the ground. These can be made of various materials
like leather, natural or synthetic rubber etc. Often the heel of
the sole is made from rubber for durability and traction and the
front is made of leather for style. Special purpose shoes often
have refined modifications, for example, athletic cleats have
spikes embedded in the outsole to grip the ground, dance shoes have
much softer or harder soles.
Midsole: The layer that lies between the outsole and the
insole for shock absorption, is the midsole. Some special shoes,
like running shoes have other materials for shock absorption, that
usually lie beneath the heel where one puts the most pressure down.
Materials used for midsoles depend on the shoe manufacturers. Some
shoes can be made even without a midsole.
Heel: The rear part at the bottom of a shoe is the heel. It
supports the heels of the feet. Heels of a shoe are often made from
the same material as the sole of the shoe. It can be high for
fashion purpose or for making a person look taller. They are also
flat for comfort and practical use.
Vamp, or upper: The upper part of a shoe that helps in
holding the shoe onto the foot is the vamp or simply called the
upper. This part is often embellished or given different styles to
make shoes attractive.
Shoe Making Process
A footwear company has mainly four departments in which a
progressive route is followed for producing finished shoes. These
are- Clicking or Cutting Department, Closing or Machining
Department, Lasting & Making Department, Finishing Department
and the Shoe Room.
Clicking or Cutting Department
In this department,
the top part of the shoe or the "upper" is made. The clicking
operative is given skins of leather, mostly cow leather but not
restricted to this type of leather. Using metal strip knives, the
worker cuts out pieces of various shapes that will take the form of
"uppers". This operation needs a high level of skill as the
expensive leather has to be wasted at the minimum level possible.
Leather may also have various defects on the surface such as barbed
wire scratches which needs to be avoided, so that they are not used
for the uppers.
Closing or Machining Department
Here the component
pieces are sewn together by highly skilled machinists so as to
produce the completed upper. The work is divided in stages. In
early stages, the pieces are sewn together on the flat machine. In
the later stages, when the upper is no longer flat and has become
three-dimensional, the machine called post machine is used. The
sewing surface of the machine is elevated on a post to enable the
operative to sew the three dimensional upper. Various edge
treatments are also done onto the leather for giving an attractive
look to the finished upper. At this stage only, the eyelets are
also inserted in order to accommodate the laces in the finished
shoes.
Lasting & Making Department
The completed uppers
are molded into a shape of foot with the help of a "Last". Last is
a plastic shape that simulates the foot shape. It is later removed
from the finished shoe to be used further in making other shoes.
Firstly, an insole to the bottom of the last is attached. It is
only a temporary attachment. Sometimes, mostly when welted shoes
are manufactured, the insole has a rib attached to its under edge.
The upper is stretched and molded over the last and attached to the
insole rib. After the procedure completes, a "lasted shoe" is
obtained. Now, the welt- a strip of leather or plastic- is sewn
onto the shoe through the rib. The upper and all the surplus
material is trimmed off the seam. The sole is then attached to the
welt and both are stitched together. The heel is then attached
which completes the "making" of the shoe.
That was the process for heeled shoes. When a flat shoe is in the
making, there are considerably fewer operations. The insoles in
this case is flat and when the uppers are 'lasted', they are
glued down to the surface of the inner side of the insole. The part
of the upper, that is glued down, is then roughed with a wire brush
to take off the smooth finish of the leather. This is done because
rough surface absorbs glue to give a stronger bond. The soles are
usually cut, finished and prepared as a separate component so that
when they are glued to the lasted upper, the result is a complete
and finished shoe. Soles can also be pre-molded as a separate
component out of various synthetic materials and again glued to the
lasted upper to complete the shoe.
Finishing Department and the Shoe
Room
The
finishing of a shoe depends on the material used for making it. If
made of leather, the sole edge and heel are trimmed and buffed to
give a smooth finish. To give them an attractive finish and to
ensure that the edge is waterproof, they are stained, polished and
waxed. The bottom of the sole is often lightly buffed, stained and
polished and different types of patterns are marked on the surface
to give it a craft finished look. A "finished shoe" has now been
made.
For shoe room operation, an internal sock is fitted into shoe which
can be of any length- full, half or quarter. They usually have the
manufacturers details or a brand name wherever applicable.
Depending on the materials used for the uppers, they are then
cleaned, polished and sprayed. Laces and any tags that might have
to be attached to the shoes, such as shoe care instructions, are
also attached. The shoes, at last, get packaged in
boxes.
