The production of any pair of shoes is inseparable from the shoe last, which is a mold or model similar to the foot. In the realm of shoe design, the shoe last serves as the soul of the shoe, as its three-dimensional design and data size determine the shape and size of the shoe, as well as its fit and protective capabilities.
The shoe last can be regarded as the soul of the shoe. The three – dimensional design and data size of the shoe last determine the three – dimensional shape and style size of the shoe, as well as whether the shoe fits well and can protect the foot. Shoe last design is based on measured foot shape data, but it is not the same as the foot shape. This is because the shape and size of the foot are different in both stationary and moving states. In addition, the variety, style, processing technology, material properties, wearing environment, and conditions of the shoe also affect the shape of the shoe. Therefore, the shape of the shoe cannot be the same as the foot shape.
The basic material composition of shoes is very complex, including shoe lining materials, upper materials, sole materials, and shoe accessories. Different materials have different thicknesses when used in different parts. Compared with traditional shoe lining and upper materials on the market, leather, canvas, and other materials are mostly used. The extensibility, deformability, and formability of these materials directly limit the shape of shoes.
There are many factors to consider when developing shoes for commercial production. For example, for a pair of exquisite and practical sports shoes, from placing an order to shipping the finished product, a pair of shoes goes through 15 stages: market research, design and development, new product sampling, sample review, sample ordering, order review, material ordering, pre – production trial, physical property testing, material warehousing, raw material cutting, shoe upper sewing, sole forming, finished product packaging, and finished product warehousing.
In short, shoe design is a complex process that involves many factors. We offer customized shoe services to meet your individual needs and ensure your comfort.
