THE CUT OF THE LEATHER AND LININGS OF YOUR SHOES

First I want to tell you that the skin has a special characteristic that nobody notices and that is that it elongates differently depending on where you pull it, that is to say you can use your fingers to try to pull or separate the skin on your arm and you will see that the skin stretches more towards the surroundings of your arm than in the length of the arm itself, in short the skin stretches more in one place than another and all the skin cutters in the factories KNOW this effect.

Surely you have had some shoes that at the tip where the instep breaks with the toes (metatarsals) they become deformed making wrinkles permanently while other shoes do not have this happen and always stay the same as new; well this is because what is called the chinela or that is, the leather that goes on your instep was cut wrongly in the opposite direction because it should have elongation to the sides and not towards the front like your arm, this error is more common than you imagine, and is due to the lack of supervision in the quality of the cuts, we at DIRECTO DE FABRICA check that your cut has the elongation in the instep correctly so that it does not deform with the steps.

Both linings and leather can be cut by hand or with dies and a pressure machine to increase productivity.

Being a leather cutter is a highly respected and specialized trade in shoe factories around the world.
