- Have you ever wanted to know how to make shoes? We spend most of our life wearing sneakers so in this video I take you inside of a factory that makes thousands of custom shoes to show you how they’re made. Start your brand with this free online training→ bit.ly/Free-Apparel-Training
I recently traveled to Leon, Mexico known as the shoe capital of the world in search of discovering how to make shoes. What I observed is that the process of making a custom sneakers is time intensive when it comes to manufacturing. In order to make a custom shoe line from scratch (from the soles to the uppers), it requires weeks of prep time and can take months to complete!
Inside of this video you will find the key steps involved in the shoe making process including:
0:00 Intro Into How To Make Shoes
0:46 *Shoe Design & Pattern Making
The process of designing and creating patterns for a shoe begins by applying tape to a shoe last. The designer will then draw their idea on top of the tape, which is then cut from the last and made into a digital pattern.
*Sampling The Design
Once the digital patterns are created they are made into physical patterns which are placed on the desired fabrics for the shoe design. The sample makers than take the cut pieces and make the one off design. Once the shoes are approved, the manufacturing process begins.
2:03 Creating The Shoe Mold
The shoe mold is designed in a CAD based system which is then made into a physical block with a CNC machine. The CNC machine engraves the design of the shoe sole into a metal block. This metal block is then inspected and prepared for the injection molding process, creating the base for the sneakers, heels and a variety of pieces needed for custom shoe designs.
4:50 Metallization Process
Some shoes have pieces that need a metallic finish, and during the metallization process plastic is put into a large vacuum which binds the metal to the plastic components.
5:35 Injection Molding
Using the shoe mold created with the CNC machine the sole of the shoes are instantly produced inside of the mold injection machine. Allowing thousand of shoe soles to be made every day.
6:18 Fabric Cutting
There are two different ways that fabrics for a large sneaker production can be cut; on a laser cutting machine or die cut. A laser cutter is able to cut pieces fairly quickly, but is usually used for runs lower than 5,000 pairs of shoes. Die Cutting is used for larger runs and is more efficient as you can stack multiple layers of fabrics and cut them all at once.
8:00 Sewing and Completing The Shoe
A variety of sewing machines, presses and gluing processes are required in the finishing of a shoe. Each shoe design has its own set up involved, and throughout this video we share all of the processes in detail for you to better understand how to make custom shoes.

How much do it cost to open a shoe factory and how much do each pair of shoes
@@UNKNOWN-zr5rz 2,000,000,000.01 Dollars
How much if I just wanted to make 1 pair?
what kind of software did you use for design and paint shoe?
I remember my mom and I used to go to Leon to buy shoes and sale them in our little town ;)
It was not cheap to make this video, I appreciate you taking your time to do this :)
Appreciate you bro 🙏🏽. It was an adventure getting to the place! 😂 glad you liked it.
What's the name of factory?

Googled “how to make shoes” and your vid came up first, small world!
😂 definitely is man!! Hope all is well bro.
Your "How To Make Shoes" video was not only informative but the presentation and videography were both very nicely done. You made learning about the shoe making process a very enjoyable one. Thanks.
Learned something new and have a major respect to the hands that help make shoes 👏 Amazing video and video production!
Thank you Melissa. And shoutouts to my Wife! ❤️ @amandalovesantos
@@johnxsantos Ah it's those pesky narrow lasts that are harming most peoples' toes! Oh how I wish wide toe box lasts were used in the process of plush sole cushioning in sneakers for women like myself who've had hysterectomy surgeries due to cancer and now have very sensitive and tender toes, heels, tendons, ligaments, bones and skin😭Can I make a custom sneaker with a manufacturer out there that offers wide toe box-type lasts available?
This is actually something u don’t get on tv👏🙌👏
🙏🏽 only on TH-cam. Hopefully we can start traveling again to bring you even better content :)
John Santos this is exclusive also I actually restored a 37 yr old pair of airforce 1s while watching this😁👏👏
yes, it is. Its called "How it's made"
This video just gave me an entire new found appreciation for the shoes on my feet…
such a detailed video 👏🏼 there’s something so satisfying about this process. lol love watching the sewing & the making of the shoes. 👟
Amanda Love Santos Shooting Cred to my amazing wife! I can’t believe I didn’t add that 😱 you made it all possible. 🙌🏽
@@johnxsantos hello sir
@@johnxsantos TEAMwork!!!
This is just the kind of insight I need to set up my line. Thank you dearly for this.
I used to repair shoes for a living.
And I can tell ya that the waffle design in the heel are for the cushioning.
The waffle lines usually crumble in a few years and I would fill the waffle with square pieces of Vibram material. This will give the old shoe more time to serve its purpose.
Thank you for sharing.
Can you make Jordans?
I mean prob , there U.A.s out there so.....
@O K butter..lot’s of it!
@@defaultthorpe6203 I’ve repaired them, too.
Glue the soles back on and color-touched faded spots.
Amazing. Thanks for inspiring us every day!

This is a great video. For everyone, for the manufacturer who gets global outreach, for you because you can do more videos like these for other companies, and for me because I live in Singapore and now I will contact this company to manufacture shoes for my company.
Thanks for this inspiration bro

My respect to the shoes! Now we know it's not that easy to make.
Mos definitely. Thank you for watching!
O K His point most likely was: There’s alot of things we buy that we don’t even give a second thought to. It’s easy for us to be in an automatic mode all day every day and psychologically our brain couldn’t handle it if we thought about every single thing all day every day. Like the pieces of clothing we wear, who cut it and stitched it together. Or who harvested those vegetables, who washed them, who butchered that cow, who cut the wood for your furniture, who cut down the tree... you get my point. And yes, to some extent, we might even think those things are easy and on a much smaller scale than in actuality. We shouldn’t be afraid of admitting that hey, maybe I didn’t appreciate someone’s labor enough.
@@mewmew8909 right!!! Doesnt it make it much more beautiful though and just makes you think you should appreciate it all even more🧡
Well it depends, there is really a lot of shortcuts in making a modern shoe.
Also this process is pretty simple and automated compared to traditional hand-made shoe making.
@@Spazik86 but it's still worth appreciating right?😁🧡🧡
