Very few shoe manufacturers any make shoes by hand anymore, cutting the leather and sewing each stitch by hand. Instead there are any number of machines that can do the job in less time and often with better quality than the old-fashioned cobbler. With the design of these machines has come the task by the casting industry to be able to cast those different parts that create each machine. Shoe machinery comes in all shapes and size, each designed to perform a particular function in the manufacture of shoes. As in other industries, tasks that were once performed manually, by shoe manufacturers, are now performed by machines. Theres the eyeleting machine, the skiving machine, staple side lasting machine, the lockstitch machine, the outsole stitcher and these heavy-duty sewing machines. |
