The Best Leather In The World

The craft of shoe making in Italy and France is extremely complex. It usually takes more than 100 processes and months, and requires 200 processes at most. It takes a year to produce a pair of upper leather shoes.

The process is divided into many stages. The whole process requires professional shoemaker supervision. These professionals must be trained internally, and are familiar with the principles and secrets of shoemaking from generation to generation.

As Ferla G M founder Salvaotore Ferragamo said, it is these methods that make it possible to walk happily and gracefully.

Before making shoes, creation and designers are indispensable. Designers will do a lot of different drawings, deciding whether to make a relatively classic style or a fashionable style.

The next step is to make prototypes. The shoe type is based on the drawing design. On the prototype, the designer will use the pen to draw different styles.

According to different shoe types, craftsmen began to make shoe last.

After a special design and a variety of shoe last, is material selection, shoe upper leather choice is very particular, a piece of cowhide usually only 3% can be used in the upper, cutting the skin before cutting the skin, first with a professional equipment for the whole skin projection, and then the best place in the whole skin cut down.

The shoe last has been processed in advance by a worker. The working procedure of the shoe last determines the shape of each leather and how it will be sewn up. The workers will assemble each small part on the shoe upper to be assembled on the shoe last and then be fixed on the shoe last.

The following is the beginning of sewing, depending on whether the shoe can change the bottom, the sewing process is completely different.

If you want to work out a pair of leather shoes that can change the bottom, you need to add an epidermal extension bar between the sole and the upper. First, stitch the vamp and the extension bar, then stitch the sole and the extension, so that the shoe will not be damaged when changing the bottom.

If you produce shoes that can not change the bottom, you do not need to extend them, but you can stitch the soles together with the vamp directly.

There are more than ten processes for shoe heel and sole polishing.

First, the original leather skin of the heel is to be made black, then the sole is polished, and the LOGO, size and width of the shoe sole are recorded.

The shoe is also very exquisite. The heel position of the shoe should be added with two pieces of adhesive film that are more comfortable and resistant to earthquake, and then added with sheepskin inside.

The heel is made up of many calf skin. The heel is first glued to the sole of the shoe, then a nail around the heel and about seven or eight small nails are fixed.

Although there are more than 100 or even 200 processes, the craftsmen will make strict checks on the newly made shoes.

A pair of shoes, dozens of shoe last.

In the manufacturing process, Italy and France shoes attach great importance to the important link of shoe model structure (Xie Xuan), which is the guarantee for the excellent quality of its products.

Most importantly, these shoes manufacturers are designed according to different body characteristics and walking habits, combined with human mechanics, each shoe type has dozens of sizes to choose from.

Mr. Salvaotore Ferragamo found the secret of making shoes more comfortable.

When he studied ergonomics in the United States, he had the initial discovery that the key to fit the shoes is the distribution of the weight of the human body.

He said that when people stand, the weight falls on the straight line extending from the arch of the foot.

From this, he designed a new type of shoe that could support the arch of the foot, so that his legs could be hung upside down.

The J.M.Weston shoes, which have more than one hundred years of history, have about 30-70 shoe last models, ranging from 37 yards to 46 yards for each pair of shoes, and 3-7 sizes of shoes for each size. So J.M.Weston shoes usually have dozens of shoe models. No matter what type of feet and walking habits, they can find suitable shoes in Wharton.

Stick to handwork

Until now, Italy, France and other famous shoe factories are basically insisting on using manual methods to make shoes.

This is also one of the important reasons for Italy and France shoes to be in the leading position in the international market.

Whether from skin cutting, punching or sewing, the shoemaker passed the generation without any slack.

J.M.Weston craftsmen participate in every detail of shoe making. In order to ensure the quality, Weston's operation is almost entirely done by hand, such as drilling. Weston requires the craftsmen to finish manually with a special punch. But these punching machines are too old and no longer have new equipment. So Weston bought all the second-hand equipment that can be found to ensure the perfection of manual drilling.

Ferragamo's handcrafting technology means technology and precision, and only a pair of shoes can be processed by manual frying for several hours.

The key process in this shoemaking process is the selection of materials inside and outside.

Both inside and outside materials must be made of high quality natural materials and processed to improve their plasticity so that they can be molded into shoe shapes when they are first worn.

The honing and respect of traditional handicrafts and the quality of absolute quality make it necessary to produce a pair of good Italy and French shoes for at least a few months, or even more than a year, and the basic selling price of these shoes is over 500 euro.

The best leather in the world

The famous shoes in Italy and France are the best leather in the world.

Since its inception in 1891, J.M.Weston already has its own workshops and specialized leather factories to produce leather shoes and accessories.

The J.M.Weston special leather factory and workshop are known as the last tanning workshop in Europe.

The leather used for the sole of the shoes is all made in the tanning factory in the local area of France. The factory is one of the few leather factories in the world that retain traditional natural materials (oak and Li Zishu) for tanning.

Using natural material tanning method, the whole process takes nearly a year to obtain strong and comfortable sole leather.

In the J.M.Weston store, you can pick leather at random. There are over 150 kinds of the best leather in the world to choose from, including crocodile skin, lizard skin, ostrich skin and antelope skin. All kinds of colors are available. Customers can choose rare leather or match different materials and colors.
