Introduction to manual shoemaking technology (laomeihua manual shoemaking technology)

Applicant: Heping District, Tianjin

Tianjin laomeihua's hand-made shoes technology has been nearly 100 years since it founded laomeihua's shoes store in 1911. Its traditional hand-made shoes technology is mainly reflected in four traditional hand-made products: kunjian shoes, embroidered shoes, Hangyuan shoes and camel saddle shoes.

The traditional handcraft of the four kinds of shoes includes 50 processes. The process is exquisite, the workmanship is fine, the process requirements are high, the process is complex, and the technology is difficult. Its common feature is the traditional craftsmanship, which is exquisite and can be called the treasure of national folk craft inheritance. It has been loved by the majority of consumers for a hundred years.

In traditional process, two layers of white cloth are used as "paper clip" (scientific name is "pin") and the sole is 36-40 layers of white cloth (14 layers of paper clip with cushion core). The raw materials are required to be free of mixed colors and can't use bad cloth. Draw samples on the paper clip, cut the bottom sample, wrap the edge, wrap the bottom sample with new white cloth, pad the interlayer, rub the hemp rope, circle the edge and cover the bottom with silk leakage On the color and pressure on the print, and then to print the color as a mark, hand rubbed Ma Nadi, Nadi per square inch up to 81 needles. Nadi requires that the hemp from Anhui be used in summer, and that from Zhangjiakou in Hebei be used in winter. Because the hemp in Anhui Province has moderate hardness and softness in summer, while the hemp shoes in winter are stronger and durable. Soak the base with 60 degree water in the VAT, press it with a 2 inch thick wooden cover, and seal around the mouth of the VAT for 24 hours, so that the base and thread will not fall off and the fastness will be increased. After the VAT is lifted, the sole shape is corrected with a wooden hammer and dried in sunlight or oven. This process is the shaping of dull sole. Process requirements strictly follow the "sole needle, nano line to be firm, insole to charm, nano shoe stitching" ancestors dictated sole operation essentials.

Up to now, "old Meihua" still inherits the traditional technology of making cloth soles; in addition to the thousand layer cloth soles, it also makes traditional high-grade leather soles, which are made by using the traditional technology of needle matching and anti seizing, with the characteristics of beautiful appearance, comfortable and breathable.
