THE STITCHING OF HIS SHOES

Imagine your grandmother sewing on her sewing machine, now imagine her sewing the leather to make your shoes; this is the process of sewing your shoes with the difference that there are machines with one thread, two threads and three threads; normally the staff is specialized and most of them are men instead of your dear grandmother; so that your shoes look like they are stitched, they go through preliminary processes before sewing them, such as trimming the leather in certain places where one cut is going to join another so that they do not have rough edges and look bad or, worse, they hurt you when you walk with the classic blister that one believes is because your shoes are new.

A new shoe should be comfortable if it is not, it is because it is not your foot size or it is simply poorly made and I warn you that I did not buy it thinking that they would loosen because your feet will suffer the consequences while you have those shoes, the only satisfaction you will have will be when you take them off, we directly from the factory check the quality of the cuts and let me inform you that we also check the threads because even if you do not know it, there are thicknesses, quality of threads and materials so that they do not break and can walk with you thousands and thousands of steps comfortably without you stopping to check the stitching and go unnoticed when walking and have aesthetics in your footwear.

The factories that use the most stitchers are the tennis factories because if you look at modern tennis shoes they have many different cuts in their design.

The most durable machines are German, although Asians have made great progress in the quality of their machines by implementing technology.

Factories generally suffer from this specialized labor force because the characteristic of a good stitcher is speed and good workmanship; this trade is learned at an early age and they retire from the same trade.
