Leather Shoes Aristocrats

"I haven't made two pairs of identical shoes so far, because there are no two identical feet in the world.

It's very interesting to make shoes. "

Dan Xingyuan, a shopkeeper in a hand-made leather shoes shop on the way to Shaoxing, told reporters that in the hand-made process, subtle individual differences were magnified infinitely, and that is precisely what made the hand-made leather shoes different from those of the streamlined products.

"A pair of hand-made leather shoes with the simplest design, together with 3 skilled craftsmen, will take a day to complete."

The owner of the hand-made leather shoes studio enthusiastically introduced to his correspondent his hand-made shoes.

In the past thirty years, the shoes made by Shan Xingyuan did not exceed 10000 pairs.

Gentlemen's shoes, light women's shoes, sandals, slippers...

He can do all kinds of shoes.

He is best at riding boots.

Dan Xingyuan is not a professional, but making shoes is just his hobby.

When he was young, there was a shoe workshop near his uncle's house. He often ran to see it.

Later, he went to Japan to study and work part-time.

By chance, he took an old shoe maker in Japan as a teacher, and began his career of making shoes by hand since then.

"At that time, I saw all kinds of shoes in my master's shop. They were very delicate, which I never saw in China, especially riding boots."

When Dan Xingyuan returned home, he opened his own shoe store on the way to Shaoxing, the ship's handmade leather shoes studio.

Nowadays, many professional equestrian teams make their boots here.

Dan Xingyuan told reporters that hand-made leather shoes are comfortable to wear, because hand-made leather shoes are made entirely of individual feet.

First, sample, size, and then choose materials, plate making, then cutting, making, matching, bottom, and finally after processing, a pair of shoes are basically completed.

"Hand-made shoes are full of leather inside and outside, and its permeability is very strong. In the process of shoemaking, we should make some remedial work for the defects of feet."

Dan Xingyuan told reporters that because of the high cost of handcrafts, the price of handmade leather shoes in his shop was about 850 yuan a pair, while his boots were about 2000 yuan.

The customers in the store are mainly foreigners and white collar workers over 30 years old.

Although the present market of hand made shoes is relatively small, Shan Xin Yuan is full of confidence in the prospect of hand-made leather shoes.

"In a metropolis like Shanghai, people will be more and more demanding on their dress, and the pursuit of differentiation and individuation will become an inevitable trend.

Traditional hand-made leather shoes will definitely come to the forefront of fashion. "
