The warehouse where your shoes are born

In factories there is a warehouse with an expert purchasing area that supplies the materials for production.

The most important and most expensive is the skin that comes from tanneries that generally import hides from slaughtered cattle that still have hair.

The tannery makes them soft and pretty so that you can wear them on your feet for hundreds of thousands of steps; in the warehouse you can also find soles, threads, buttresses (so that the toe and heel do not deform), specialized glues so that your soles never come off, feathers, chemical products to decorate them, eyelets for your shoelaces to go through, etc. In short, it is a world of items that end up in your footwear.

 What you don't know is that the shoes you bring are made in batches or tasks according to the stores' order schedules, so your shoes have identical siblings that are cut from the same skin of either a calf (less than a year old), a veal (1 to 2 years old) and a cow (an animal over 2 years old) that are scheduled between tasks ranging from 12 pairs to average quantities of 120 pairs because these are the daily tasks that a leather cutter can do, who is the one who starts the production process.

Your shoe comes from many specialized factories that came together in a warehouse to make your footwear and believe me, it is a complicated, specialized and highly logistical task in your purchasing process.

Currently in Mexico there are specialized fairs on materials and machinery with which they make their shoes in León Gto. which is formed with an association called AMPIC https://www.anpic.com/
