What do people say leather shoes are made of?

Real leather shoes are made of animal skins.

Now the concept of real leather shoes is very confusing. Strictly speaking, it should be leather shoes, leather shoes, leather shoes pads and leather shoes soles. The whole pair of shoes are made of animal skin except metal buckles and threads. This kind of shoes is very expensive. It must be produced by traditional sewing technology, and the modern gluing technology cannot be operated. The material cost is high. Low production efficiency, not suitable for domestic consumer market. It takes two to three days for skilled workers to produce such a pair of shoes. The sales price is more than 5000 yuan. High price, low output, small market and few domestic factories. More suitable for European and American consumers. Italy, Spain and other countries produce more.

China's real leather shoes refer to leather uppers and leather insoles. Other parts use alternative materials, such as. The insole is made of special cardboard, sole rubber, polyurethane and PU. TPR modification and other chemical materials are made by injection molding or pasting.

In principle, the epidermis of any animal is chemically treated. Technically called tanning, it can be made into leather shoes and leather products. Cowhide is commonly used. Sheep skin, pigskin, horse skin, lizard skin, crocodile skin, rabbit skin, mink skin, snake skin, dog skin, fish skin and so on. It is only used in different parts of shoes according to the looseness, texture and texture of different animal skins. For example, pigskin has rough surface and large pores. Usually used as shoes, Lippi. The soles of leather shoes are rarely used as leather. Cowhide and sheepskin have soft texture and fine pores, and are usually used as dough. Snakeskin, fish skin. The scales on the surface are beautiful, but the firmness is not strong. Usually used as an upper decoration. Rabbit hair and mink hair are soft, warm and decorative. It is also used as a matching part on shoes.

Leather separated from animals. After chemical treatment. Because it is thick, it cannot be used directly. It should be layered with a professional leather shovel. The first layer of leather is the best, used as the upper of high-grade leather shoes. This is the so-called first layer of leather, and the second layer that has lost its surface luster and decoration can be used as Lippi. It can also be rubbed and colored to make the skin scrub. This material is also a variety of leather shoes. It looks good, but the firmness is poor. The third layer is basically used as the sole material. And some decorative belts.

During the growth of animals, the epidermis will be damaged by man-made and non-man-made damage. It will leave a scar. Different parts of the body have different skin. For example, cortical pine has no elasticity. In production, such a position should be handled. Factors such as the area where animals live and different feeding methods. These problems will be very different. So the method of making leather is different. Good skin embryos don't need to trim scars and stomachs. Neck. Elasticity has not decreased that much. A simple modification will do. This kind of skin is the best, and you can see clear and original pores. This is called whole grain flour. Second, we should polish scars, stomachs and buttocks, and reduce some pores and dermatoglyphics. This is called shaving, followed by shaving. Third, there are many scars on the skin surface. My stomach and ass are loose, and I can't fix them. Just grind them all off. The artificial dermatoglyphics and pores are pressed by the machine platen. The layman can't see it. This kind is called embossed leather. You can also press out different patterns. Some fake lizard skins. Crocodile skin is also made by this process called embossed skin. Because it is pressed, the leather surface is hard. So once again.

All the above are genuine leather, and the shoes made are collectively called real leather shoes. I hope I can answer your question.
