After P > 54, the bad habits of foot binding were gradually abolished. Women had the right to own feet again, and they wore normal size embroidered shoes.

However, embroidered shoes are made of expensive silk and made of silk and embroidered flowers and birds.

But in Shanghai, ladies and gentlemen are frequent in social occasions. They can not compete with each other, thus creating the emergence of professional Street for embroidered shoes.

< p > in the 40s of last century, distinguished personages were still the main ethnic groups in embroidered shoes. The service mode was custom-made, that is, measuring the size of the customers' feet, and after selecting the colors and embroidery patterns, the customers first handed in the drawings for the special people, and then embroidered the patterns by the embroidered women workers, then cut them into patterns and made them into upper ones. Finally, the leather was cut off from the bottom of the shoe and laid on a layer of cloth, and then the upper and sole were stitched, which is a pair of hand-made embroidered shoes.

< p > after that, the embroidered shoes are slowly converted into shoe sales with fixed sizes.

< p > by the middle of last century, sports shoes, casual shoes and fashionable fashionable heels have become the fashionable indicators for gentry ladies to pursue fashion, and the footwear industry is facing a crisis of survival.

In the 90s of the last century, the revival of the ancient style of wind swept away the embroidered shoes, which had been quiet for 20 years, and pushed them back to the prevailing trend.

And the businessmen also see that the embroidered shoes must be innovating in tradition to catch the hearts of young consumers, so the pattern is no longer fixed to flowers and birds, and the color matching is more daring. For example, black, white and denim fabrics used in taboo are also applied to vamp, and even the top of the last stage has sharp or square style, and the heel also has flat bottom and high heel.

< p > in recent years, the embroidered shoe industry has fallen to the bottom. When the trend of fashion will turn to embroidered shoes, no one can tell.

But as embroidery women workers are hard to find, hand embroidery has gradually been replaced by electronic embroidery. It is becoming more and more difficult to find embroidered embroidered shoes embroidered with hand needles in the future.

Using a boss's words, apart from the old lady's understanding of embroidery, young people can't distinguish the difference between electronic embroidery and manual embroidery.
