Manufacturing and Design Process
Manufacturing Technologies Manufacturing Technologies differ based on the method to attach the outsole to the rest of the shoe
• Cementing • Injection Molding • Stitched with Sole • Vulcanizing
Cementing • Process Picture : LSL (Mr. Sadhu)
Cementing Sticks the outsole, the upper and insole into single unit without use of sole stitching thread Advantages: •Comfort •Method enables light edges
Cementing • Depict using product – Mr. Sadhu
Injection Moulding Mr. Sadhu
Injection Moulding • Also referred to as direct injection moulding
Injection Moulding Shoe and Heel are adhered to the upper with an unbreakable bond Advantages • Extraordinary wear • Tight joins, longer wear, good performance and completely water resisitant join between sole and upper • Hold shape longer with wear • Little or no repair required on shoe bottom
Stitched with Sole Mr. Sadhu
Stitched with Sole Upper meets the sole of the outside of the shoe, it is not tucked under and returned into the shoe. Instead, the edge of the upper is turned outside and is in line with the edge of the shoe Advantages: • Flexible Shoe • Repairable
Stitched with Sole • Depict using product – Mr. Sadhu
Vulcanizing • Process Picture : LSL (Mr. Sadhu)
Types of Soles
Types of Soles • Leather – Natural looks and durability – Breathability and comfortable – Leather soles are comparatively expensive
Types of Soles • TPR (Thermo Plastic Rubber) – TPR is man-made • Slip resistant, • Flexibility • High resistance to abrasion
Types of Soles • PU(Polyurethane) – Synthetic substance – Lightweight, flexible and highly shock absorbent – Resistant to abrasion – One of the most durable outsoles
Types of Soles • Rubber – Very durable – Has a very good slip, abrasion and moisture resisting qualities – Rubber is a very versatile material
