Shoe Making Process

In the novella, “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros, the symbol of shoes represents how attractive you are and how you are portrayed by society. For example, “It’s Rachel who learns to walk the best all strutted in those magic high heels. She teaches us to cross and uncross our legs, and to run like a double dutch rope, and how to walk down to the corner so that the shoes talk back to you.” (pg. 40).

The first few times you see shoes mentioned is irrelevant, but once you get to the chapter “The Family of Little Feet,” shoes begin to take on a meaning. A woman came up to Esperanza and her friends Rachel and Lucy, offering a bag of shoes which were said to be “one pair of lemon shoes and one red and one pair of dancing shoes that used to be white but were now pale blue” (40). The girls were excited by the shoes, made clear by the line “Hurray! Today we are Cinderella because our feet fit exactly” (40). They even go as far to describe them as “magic high heels” (40) while they were learning to walk in them. Soon, however, this innocence and joy get tainted once the girls go walking in the shoes, first having Mr. Benny, the grocer, say, “Them are dangerous. You girls too young to be wearing shoes like that” (41). But this didn’t faze the girls, and they continued walking. They enjoyed the attention they were getting, Esperanza even saying, “these are the best shoes. We will never go back to wearing the other

Peach pink shades remain the traditional color for pointe shoes, implying the illusion of an extended leg. Pointe shoes have no right or left. The craftsman will use a special glue formula (based on a simple flour and water paste) to form the block. The shoes enter a hardening process in a hot air oven. Finally, the excess cloth is trimmed and the insole is attached with glue. The dancer herself undertakes the last step: Four pieces of ribbon are sewn onto the insides of a pair of shoes. Pointe shoe dancers usually experiment with the right placement of the ribbons in order to give maximum hold. To extend the short life of a pointe shoe, the ballerina will bake them and apply resin, floor wax, or super glue before she "breaks-in" the shoes to make them feel like a second skin. The altering caused by "breaking-in" can often shorten the life of a shoe by 50 percent.

The main material of the upper of the sneaker is suede. And there are printed mesh material under the suede piece. The suede material is a popular material used in sneaker and the printed mesh material should give the whole sneaker and ankle greater protection. I choose speed lace hardware and climbing-rope laces to give the whole sneaker more outdoor looking. Those materials are not only durable for the hiking, but also easy to take down. The sole have two parts, which is EVA midsole, and Rubber outsole. The EVA material is a synthetic material that relieves the overall weight of the sneaker. The Rubber material make the sole strongly and wearproof. The color of the series that I choice army green, brindle, gray and black.

Then you let your temporary shoe harden by the fire.” So they would basically cover their feet in white sap that they’ve tapped from trees and let it sit until it was a pair of shoes. If it wasn't for them there's a chance

Sneakers aren’t very new they started back three thousand years ago when the Mayans, Olmec, and the Aztecs dipped their feet into melted rubber, and then they would peel it off and have a shoe. Shoes where made this way for a very long time until 1830 they were created in England. The brand that made the shoe was the New Liverpool Rubber Company.
