Old Beijing cloth shoes are best embedded.

Old Beijingers pay attention to "stepping in line"-wearing in-line shoes made by traditional crafts. This time-honored brand has a history of nearly 150 years.

In the winter of the third year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1853), an in-line shoe store was built in Dongxiang Mixiang (now Taiji Factory). The owner's name is Zhao Ting. As an apprentice in a shoe factory in his early years, he learned good skills and accumulated some management experience. Later, a senior official in Beijing, General Ding, invested thousands of taels of silver to help open a shoe store.

Zhao Ting analyzed the current situation of Beijing's footwear industry at that time, and thought that there were few professional shoe stores making shoes, so he decided to open a shoe store himself. After some painstaking thinking and deliberation, this store was named "Inline Rise". The name of inline promotion indicates its clients: palaces and officialdom that expect to be promoted to the third level and the highest level every day. It means that customers can put on the shoes made in our shop and the business is booming.

In-line promotion bosses pay attention to the luxury of buying shoes in the store, record the sizes and hobbies they need, and collect them into a book for a long time, named "Hidden in Shoes". One can avoid the round trip when buying again; Secondly, it can facilitate foreign officials to visit their superiors and want to provide boots and shoes as gifts.

There are 32 layers of soles made by embedded pull-up, which are thick but not heavy. Black satin upper, thick in texture and bright in color, can't be worn for a long time. If it is stained with dust, wipe it clean and shiny with a big pile shoe brush. These boots are comfortable to wear, light and silent to walk, steady and imposing.

In-line promotion should not only earn money from kings and princes, but also not neglect ordinary customers. Shopkeepers all know that if you want to serve people who sit in sedan chairs, you have to think of carrying them. And the "sedan chair shoes" it makes are very affordable. Not only is the heel easy to crack, but it is soft and sweat-absorbent, and it walks silently. People who practice martial arts also like to wear them, which can be called China sports shoes.

The fabric of embedded shoes is very particular.

Shoe-making processes are also different. Only the sole of Melaleuca cloth shoes has to go through seven processes. It is required to close the bottom with hemp rope at least 8 1 stitch per square inch, with fine pinholes and evenly distributed stitches. Hammer bottom: After soaking the accepted soles in hot water and hot stuffy, hammer them flat without deformation. This kind of sole is durable, soft, comfortable, non-layered and non-deformed. Even if people with sweaty feet wear them, the soles will not get wet. The technology of shoes should be more meticulous and strict, and efforts should be made in the modeling of shoes, which is beautiful and generous. When sewing shoes by hand, the model should be tight and the clothes should be flat and fit. Stitches for sewing shoes should be regularly spaced, the uppers and soles should be tight and full, and the uppers should be eaten evenly.

At the beginning of its opening, Neiliansheng was located in Dongjiang Rice Lane, and it was relocated three times later. After liberation, it moved to Dashilan, and the scale of shops and factories expanded accordingly.

Recently, they set up a stall in the store to make traditional cloth shoes. If you go to Dashilan, don't forget to see Inline Rise. You can not only admire those cloth shoes, but also visit the traditional shoemaking techniques-Nadi and uppers ... it must be a pleasure.

"Buyuanxuan" brand Beijing cloth shoes won the title of "China Famous Trademark" in August 2005.
