Manufacturing Process

Manufacturing Process:-
The production process for making a shoe is as follows:-
Step 1: Stocking
Stocking mainly means storing of raw materials as per the requirement of the
customer which mainly consists of leather and the sole material.
Step 2: Cutting
Cutting mainly consists of two types i.e. leather cutting and sole cutting.
Leather cutting is done manually with the help of hands using a specific type of a
sharp knife, whereas sole cutting is done by machines.
This is mainly because leather sheets are thin and in order to give it a specific
shape and design it has to be done manually wherein the material is cut into nives.
But in case of soles the soles are in the form of thick sheets of rubber or any other
sole material (as per customer requirements) which requires a specific type of
machine called as the sole cutting machine.
Step 3: Designing
Designing is mainly done as per the designs given by the designers. Designing
means designing the leather which covers the entire upper feet. Designing is mainly
done by cutting the leather into certain designs it also includes stitching of the
leather in specific designs. This process does not include the making of sole.
After this a particular lining is applied to make the leather soft and give it strength.
Step 4: Sticking
After designing, comes sticking. This mainly means sticking the upper part i.e. the
leather part of the shoe to the sole of the shoe. This is done using adhesives.
Step 5: Lasting
Further, in the lasting process plastic moulds are taken which are in the shape of the
foot, and then the upper portion of the shoe and the insole are stuck together using
adhesives and then the mould is removed.
Step 6: Pressing
After lasting, the shoe containing the mould is then subjected to the pressing
process wherein the pair of shoes is placed in a machine which presses the shoe i.e.
presses the upper part of the shoe to the sole to ensure proper adhesion.
Step 7: Finishing
After the pressing the shoes are allowed to dry for a specific time and after that the
moulds are removed and finishing is done. Finishing basically means brushing the
shoe, polishing it using waxes, polish and lacre
Step 8: Stamping
The shoe is then stamped in the name of the customer or the company name the
shumaker is catering. The stamping is mainly done using ink and foil paper.
Step 9: Packaging
In packaging the shoe is graded according to the different sizes, packed in boxes,
the boxes are labeled using barcodes and dispatched to the customer
Since the founding of our company 60 years ago, we have consistently continued to be keen on
the production process called Goodyear Welted. The machine doesnt exist that can beat the
hand of an experienced person, , The material doesnt exist that can beat real leather - our
philosophy of shoe-making was learned from England, was given the unique aesthetic eye of the
Japanese, using well-chosen materials, and polished techniques. These shoes are completed after
under-going more than 200 production steps. We constantly strive to make the best shoes ever.
Step 1. Cutting
Step 2. Sewing
Step 3. Pulling Over
Leather is a natural material. Different skins have their own peculiarities, and different parts have
their own orientations. We diligently check each piece of leather and mold it into shape, then
proceed to cut.
The point is to bring it more into 3 dimensions. Stitch is a part of design. Stitch by stitch, we sew
it with all our heart.
The last step (in forming the shoe) is to conform the sewn upper to the placed inner sole. This
process is important in determining comfortable wear. We fit the last 1 step so that there is no
additional slack in the hand.
Step 4. Chainstitching
Step 5. Outsewing
Step 6. Edge Grinding
The rib standing between the pulled over upper and inner sole is sewn together with welt (fine
leather). That the sewing eye does not protrude is a basic feature of the Goodyear process, and
this construction gives an outstanding stability and sense of comfort.
We sew fine leather to the sole. The cork and shank which act as a cushioning material and can
be thought of as performing the function of the backbone as thoroughly sanded. This is a process
that greatly affects the outer appearance.
The edge of the sole is ground down with a blade revolving at high speed. As there is no ruler the
sense of the craftsman is paramount. The technique shines as volume is given by drawing it out
and delicacy is perfected by grinding.
Step 7.
Applying Coating
Step 8.
Finishing Touches
Branding
Hot coating is applied to the ground out leather and a face is made, ink is the applied and
polished. The bottom can be ornamented or decorated with various types of coatings.
Oil and dirt which attached themselves during the manufacturing process are washed off, and the
shoe is polished with cream. After this, the insole is put in, and we finish by attaching the laces.
Finally, the shoes undergo a rigorous check.
The brand is proof of confidence in quality.
We are determined to make good shoes using the name
(Japanese-made Good Shoes). The
character stands for Japan, and also for harmony between people.
