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

Through the use of over exaggeration of how great the soles are the write catches the eye of the reader.

The first few times you see shoes mentioned is irrelevant, but once you get to the chapter “The Family of Little Feet,” shoes begin to take on a meaning. A woman came up to Esperanza and her friends Rachel and Lucy, offering a bag of shoes which were said to be “one pair of lemon shoes and one red and one pair of dancing shoes that used to be white but were now pale blue” (40). The girls were excited by the shoes, made clear by the line “Hurray! Today we are Cinderella because our feet fit exactly” (40). They even go as far to describe them as “magic high heels” (40) while they were learning to walk in them. Soon, however, this innocence and joy get tainted once the girls go walking in the shoes, first having Mr. Benny, the grocer, say, “Them are dangerous. You girls too young to be wearing shoes like that” (41). But this didn’t faze the girls, and they continued walking. They enjoyed the attention they were getting, Esperanza even saying, “these are the best shoes. We will never go back to wearing the other

In the novella, “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros, the symbol of shoes represents how attractive you are and how you are portrayed by society. For example, “It’s Rachel who learns to walk the best all strutted in those magic high heels. She teaches us to cross and uncross our legs, and to run like a double dutch rope, and how to walk down to the corner so that the shoes talk back to you.” (pg. 40). This quote shows how Esperanza and her friends want to act very mature and lady like, and how the shoes play a huge role in this.
Essence is about special pattern, detailing, modern, layering. “This theme looks at the world with fresh eyes: it drags society out of its daily coma and urges people to go beneath the mass of detail to see the beauty in the everyday and transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.”(WGSN) The design inspiration board I find which are color, woven panels, routine textures, webbing, D-ring lacing and outdoors technology. The contrast-color sole is bold primary or seasonal bright is added to wedge and cleated soles across both. Also I look up the Nike ACG outdoor series have very professional and high technique outdoor sneaker. For the Chaco winter series I deiced the layering idea for the general orientation. The main material of the upper of the sneaker is suede. And there are printed mesh material under the suede piece. The suede material is a popular material used in sneaker and the printed mesh material should give the whole sneaker and ankle greater protection. I choose speed lace hardware and climbing-rope laces to give the whole sneaker more outdoor looking. Those materials are not only durable for the hiking, but also easy to take down. The sole have two parts, which is EVA midsole, and Rubber outsole. The EVA material is a synthetic material that relieves the overall weight of the sneaker. The Rubber material make the sole strongly and wearproof. The color of the series that I choice army green, brindle, gray and black. Those are all color form nature, which doesn’t show the dirt so much. And also let people steady and simply. The midsole have inkjet printing that gives more detail of the sneaker.

To begin with, sneakers have been around for around 3,000 years. The Maya, Olmecs and Aztecs all made flexible, waterproof sneakers. As it states in passage 1 paragraph 1, “Imagine dipping your foot into sticky, melted rubber. After you let the rubber dry, you peel it off your foot. Then you let your temporary shoe harden by the fire.” So they would basically cover their feet in white sap that they’ve tapped from trees and let it sit until it was a pair of shoes. If it wasn't for them there's a chance
Sneakers aren’t very new they started back three thousand years ago when the Mayans, Olmec, and the Aztecs dipped their feet into melted rubber, and then they would peel it off and have a shoe. Shoes where made this way for a very long time until 1830 they were created in England. The brand that made the shoe was the New Liverpool Rubber Company. The sneaker was made from heavy woven cotton, with a rubber sole in the bottom. Sneakers have had many different names over the years two of them
This resulted in a demand for more elaborate pointe shoes. A wide range of designs were on the market: from soft block shoes, which are designed for transition from soft shoes to pointe shoes, to extremely hard shoes, which give extra strength, to machine-manufactured rehearsal pointes for dance students operating on a smaller budget. About thirty-five ballet shoe manufacturers, such as Freed, Grishko, Bloch, Capezio, and Gaynor Minden operate in the market. At the end of the twentieth century, the fashion industry picked up the idea of ribbons and look-alike pointe shoes, and designer brands such as Manolo Blahnik, Sonia Rykiel, Etro, and Blumarine have used the pointe shoe style to create "ballerina" fashion shoes.
