Manufacturing a Pair of Shoes – DB Shoes Ltd

This 6 minute video shows a brief overview of some of the processes involved in making a shoe. The shoe progresses from “clicking” or cutting of the leather components, through “closing” or stitching and fitting of the various components to make the upper. The upper is then “lasted”, a sole is directly injection moulded onto the upper and finally shoe roomed, inspected and boxed. Unlike many fully automatic manufacturing processes, shoe making is still very labour intensive and involves a great many manual steps. DB Shoes are sold in the UK through a network of retailers and online through Widerfit Shoes Ltd. at www.widerfitshoes.co.uk

What can you do for crooked toes?

My aunt has a hammer toe on each foot(next to her big toe) and all of her other toes are leaning toward it. So basically she has all crooked toes. She also has VERY WIDE feet. AND she has an orthodics that she has to put in each shoe. The only shoe she has found that she can wear is the new balance womens 880 model in size 7.5D. Does anyone know of anything that will help her with these problems or an alternate shoe that has both a wide and deep toebox as well as a generally wide shoe? Also she was looking at yoga toes to help straighten her toes, but they only ship to the states. We live in NS Canada. Anything that ships here cost a fortune for shipping. ANY HELP, IDEAS, ADVICE anything on any of these subjects would be greatly appreciated. We don’t know where to look for help. Even specialists can’t seem to help. THANKS in advance for any help.

Sizing for TOMS shoes?

I ordered a pair of TOMS shoes… as per advice I had seen online, I ordered the smaller of my sizes. I’m usually a size 10 or 11, and I got the 10. I couldn’t even get my foot in them. My mom, who has size 8-9 feet had them on and they fit her perfectly. So it seems they run at least one size too small. I also have kind of wide feet (though I usually don’t need "wide" shoes)

Now I’m sending them in to exchange and my question is, should I just get the size 11 in womens, or should I opt for a mens pair so that they’re wider? Or will they be way too big and loose then? Help please!

What popular retail stores carry Propet Shoes?

Can someone tell me what popular retail stores carry the Propet brand of shoes. I want to try some on but I don’t really want to hassle an online retailer such as Zappos so I would prefer to try them on in a store where I would have a large selection to choose from. I am looking for a store that would carry the wider sizes too in both mens and womens styles. I have wide feet and have heard Propet shoes are nice and they seem to come in a lot of different sizes.
