The practice of old-fashioned handmade insoles

Old-fashioned handmade insoles are made as follows:

1. If you want to make handmade insoles, you must have a back shell. You can also choose to buy ready-made insoles or make them yourself. Choose a good cloth, paste it well, find a board to spread the cloth flat, paste it layer by layer to the required thickness, and dry it for later use.

2. Take out the sun-dried back shell and grind it flat, find out what suits your shoe size, draw it on the back shell, and then cut it along the drawing line. When cutting, be careful not to divide your left and right feet, and divide them before and after.

After the insole is cut, the next job is to wrap it with the cloth you like. After the colors are matched, cut into a cloth about two centimeters wide and wrap the raw edges around the insole.

4. Finally, the sewing work is finished. First, sew one stitch at a time from the edge. After sewing the edges in a circle, you can sew the middle part. You can choose stitch by stitch or pattern stitch. Just sew according to your favorite pattern.

Matters needing attention in the use of insoles

1: health insoles, such as traditional Chinese medicine insoles, loofah insoles and bamboo charcoal insoles, should be changed frequently and kept dry.

2. Functional insoles, such as heightening insoles and shock-absorbing insoles, should pay attention to comfort and not feel uncomfortable.

3. The leather insole will become stiff when worn for a long time. Change it frequently.

4. Special function insoles: such as antistatic insoles, avoid soaking in strong alkali liquid when washing.

5. To use orthopedic insoles, you should go to a regular hospital for consultation first.

Summary: Although the insoles made are not as beautiful as those bought, the insoles made by ourselves are more meaningful, thoughtful and comfortable to wear. Come and have a try!
