Footwear manufacturers work in the manufacturing sector. Footwear includes shoes, boots, sports and dance footwear, trainers, and slippers.
Footwear manufacturers may be small-scale operations making specialist or personalised footwear, through to large factories producing large runs of footwear.
Footwear manufacturers use tools and machinery to produce footwear to a specification. There are different processes involved in making footwear.
- Cutting material – usually leather. Preparation of materials
- Closing – sewing the upper part of the footwear
- Lasting – forming the shape of the footwear
- Attaching the sole and finishing – the final stage where for example, removable insoles and shoelaces are added and polishing occurs
Individuals may complete the footwear in full or in part.
