What materials do you need to make shoes

The materials of shoes are mainly natural fiber fabrics and leather, and there are more and more chemical synthetic materials in modern times. According to the structure of shoes, they can be divided into four categories: fabric (upper material), lining, bottom material and auxiliary materials.

Feeding; Fabric; lining

Mainly leather, synthetic leather, textiles, rubber and plastics. Leather shoes fabrics are mostly tanned cattle, pigs, sheepskin grain soft leather or suede soft leather and synthetic leather; High-end shoes also include crocodile skin, snake skin and chicken feet skin.

Cloth shoes and rubber overshoes are made of cotton cloth and woolen cloth with strong wear resistance, warmth retention and good hygroscopicity, such as woven cloth, velveteen, corduroy, canvas, gabardine, tweed, navy blue and coat. Various synthetic resins and natural rubber are the main materials of plastic shoes and rubber overshoes.

lining

Mainly cotton cloth, goatskin, cotton wool, felt, artificial wool, elastic velvet and so on. The back half of leather shoes is soft goatskin and the front half is canvas. Cloth shoes are mostly made of natural white cloth or bleached cloth; Rubber shoes are lined with fine canvas.

Cold-proof shoes are made of felt or fur made of nitrate. Cloth cotton boots (shoes) are usually padded with cotton first, then lined with a layer of cotton cloth, or made of felt or elastic velvet. Some shoes also use resin foam composite or artificial wool as shoe lining.

bed charge

There are mainly hard leather, soft leather, imitation leather, cloth, rubber, plastic, rubber and plastic foam materials. Hard leather is made of cattle and pig skin, mostly used for leather shoes, and a small amount is used to make leather-soled cloth shoes. In addition, imitation shoe soles are widely used in leather shoes. Cloth is the main material of traditional cloth soles.

Using old cloth as raw material, it is processed into quilt or wadded into base blank, and then made into thousand-layer bottom or wool bottom by hand or machine with hemp rope. Plastic is mainly PVC resin, which is mostly used for plastic shoes and cloth shoes. Rubber, including natural rubber and synthetic rubber, is used for rubber shoes and cloth shoes. There are two kinds of soft leather, artificial leather and natural leather, which are mostly used in cloth slippers and soft-soled cloth shoes. Rubber-plastic foam materials are mostly used in leather shoes and cloth shoes.

condiments

Mainly includes eyelets (rings, brazing), shoelaces, rubber cloth, velcro, zippers, silk, cotton, twine (rope), nails, rivets, non-woven fabrics, cardboard, leather of inner head and main heel, various decorations, brackets, adhesives and paste.

Characteristics of extended materials:

1, PVC: most of them are relatively cheap, with poor texture, not cold-resistant and folding-resistant.

2.PU leather and cowhide: the most commonly used materials in the market. PU leather is soft and elastic, feels good and has a shiny surface. The surface of Niuba is mostly matte, rough to the touch, with little luster and matte surface, and more inelastic.

3. Microfiber: Soft and uniform in texture, close to natural leather in performance, but more uniform in thickness and more balanced in elasticity than natural leather, making it one of the best materials for artificial leather.

4. Natural leather: generally recognized as a material, breathable, soft, peeling-resistant, folding-resistant, cold-resistant and durable. Its disadvantages are defects, many pores, irregular shape and difficult cutting.
