Steps in sewing bespoke shoes

• Measuring the foot. What is important here is accuracy and a correct view of the orthopedic features that are taken into account in the sewing process.
• Designing, sewing the patterns and quality control. The seamstress designs and sews the shoe parts, sands them and impregnates them. The finished product must necessarily go through quality control.
• Try on. At this stage you need to assess how well the shoe sits on the leg and share your impressions with the master tailor if adjustment is required.

How do you measure correctly?

In order for a custom-made shoe to sit on the leg as if it were a good fit, all you need to do is take 3 basic measurements: foot length, instep circumference and leg bundle circumference.

To measure foot length you must:

1. stand with your bare foot (or in a sock) on a piece of paper so that there is free space on all sides of the paper.
2. ThenWalk around the foot (you can do this yourself, but it is very important that all your weight is on the foot - then the measurement will be as accurate as possible).
3. The foot should be outlined The foot should be outlined with a pencil and pen, as the thickness of the pen and pencil varies and this can lead to inaccuracies of a few millimeters.
4. The stylus should be held perpendicular to the sheet of paper.
5. After staking out the footA straight line is drawn from the heel to the outermost part of the big toe.
6. After measuring the resulting distance (taking into account every millimeter) the length of the foot is determined.

Measure the circumference of the forefoot as follows:

1. Use a tailor's tape measure. (if you don't have a tape measure, you can use a thread and then measure with a ruler) measure the widest part of the foot.
2. It is importantIt is important that the foot is on a solid surface and under its own weight, as this is the only way the foot will show its maximum width.

The circumference of the instep is generally measured in the same way as the circumference of the bunion. The only difference is that the widest and highest part of the foot is measured.

It is important to remember that foot size can vary, even if only slightly. That's why it's important not to be too lazy and measure both feet. However, it is best to have the measurements taken by a master in the studio, as he will take into account many details in addition to the three standard dimensions: protruding bones, painful blisters, the presence of flat feet and more.

What does it take to have a shoe custom made?

First of all, it will not be superfluous to get training from a shoemaker. So you have acquired the basic skills that will allow you to proceed with the manufacture of shoes and deal with the purchase of the necessary raw materials and equipment. And only then can you move on to the organizational moments: finding premises for the atelier, hiring staff (it cannot be done without fashion designers and tailors), establishing relationships with material suppliers.

Equipment needed

The issue of acquiring work equipment is very important. This question is complicated by the high costs involved in the production of shoes due to the use of a large number of equipment.

• Sewing machine;
• Glue application machine
• embroidery embroidery machine;
• Embossing and perforating press with heating plate;
• Self-adhesive film drying and reactivation machine;
• die cutter;
• stapler and compressed air gun;
• heel nailer;
• work table with suction device;

A complete equipment list can only be created by considering the range of products offered to customers as well as the methods and materials used in the process.

Materials required

The choice of materials used when sewing shoes also depends on the planned scale of your production. However, the minimum requirements can be summarized as follows:

1. materials For the production of soles or prefabricated soles and heels for shoes.
2. insole For different types of soles and lasts.
3. Raw materials for upper leather and lining, both domestic and foreign (many professionals recommend Italian leathers, known for their softness and flexibility, and Turkish leathers, which have a harder structure).
4. Unique accessories and original accessories.
5. Different compositionsVarious preparations used for our garments (water-repellent, protective, high-gloss).
6. Materials needed for sewing the shoes (for example: threads, rubber bands, ribbons, trimmings, as well as special nails, heel screws, insoles, heels and others).

High-quality shoe repairs in Moscow

There is a particular danger of reagents in autumn and winter. If the integrity of the leather is not compromised, we will be happy to correct the problem using professional means. After the reagents have been removed, the shoes are thoroughly cleaned, stained, impregnated and disinfected.

If the reagent has damaged the surface of the leather and scratches or cracks have appeared, the only option is to replace the part of the shoe covered with soot. To replace this part, the shoe must be disassembled and reassembled. In this case, we measure the foot and order a custom-made last for the shoe, which is responsible for the final shape of the product.

Prophylactic sole treatment

For what purpose is a prophylactic sticker applied? A prophylactic sole treatment primarily protects your shoes from rapid wear and tear. We recommend that you immediately apply a prophylactic sticker to your leather sole, as leather wears out quickly on the road and deforms when exposed to moisture. It is also the perfect solution for non-slip winter shoes.

Various colors and shades, thicknesses from 1mm to 5mm. The prophylactic is made of high-quality rubber alloys, polyurethane and other abrasion-resistant materials.

We only work with high-quality materials from the Italian company Vibram.

Choice of location

For the production of non-mass shoes, you can find a small room or even your own apartment. Most of the work is done by hand, so you don't need a lot of equipment. The space requirement is quite modest. Basic production requirements:

A small studio is equipped with a workshop, a finishing room and a fitting room. The workshop can be set up together with the shop where the finished shoes are made. Shelves and racks, sofas or chairs for fittings and other furniture must be purchased for the store.

Back to the costs

The amount of cash investments depends on the type of business. The most important cost for a small business is the purchase of tools and equipment. Additional costs are incurred for purchasing materials and paying employees. At the initial stage it is better to open a small studio.

The profitability of the company depends on the region in which the footwear is to be manufactured. The product range is of great importance. As a rule, casual models from the low-price segment are in demand, but also high-quality shoes with unique designs.

Making shoes is not an easy but very interesting process. You need to study the market carefully to be able to offer products that are in demand by your target audience. Each type of shoe requires different materials, designs and insoles. If an entrepreneur manages to stay afloat, he or she can grow from a small studio into a serious shoe brand.

Capital for organizing shoe production. Profitability.

It is difficult to make a cost calculation for a small production and sales point.

The only thing that can be said with certainty is that this business will pay for itself faster than factory production. In the first year of operation, all initial costs should be recouped, and after that the company will begin to generate profits.

If this is not the case, it is a sign that a change in strategy is needed.

In the case of a large business for the mass production of shoes, approximate figures can be given - from 150,000,000 rubles.

This amount includes not only the costs of the shoe production facilities, but also rent, labor and operating costs.

If we take average figures for domestic production, the profitability of such an enterprise (on a large scale) is about 48-50 %.

This amount can be fully recovered within 3.5 to 4 years of operation.

It is impossible to develop this production without knowing all the intricacies of the industry.

How to start sewing shoes and what do you need to do?

Taking all of the above points into account, we come to the conclusion: Shoe production large scale is not very suitable for entrepreneurs who are not willing to spend so much money and who do not have the capacity to wait for such a long payback period because they do not need large scale for their shoe manufacturing equipment.

Nevertheless, you can always start with a smaller business, but in this case you can only count on success if you have really fresh and interesting ideas.
