THE NATURE OF SHOE MAKING
Good morning friends and family on hive. I believe we are all doing great. Welcome to my 3rd entry post on hive, which is the beginning of the training on shoe making (footwares design). On my previous post I listed the course outline to be covered at the cause of this training, so today without wasting much time we will be jumping into the number 1 in the list (the nature of shoe making).
THE NATURE OF SHOE MAKING
What is a shoe?
A shoe is an item or footwear that is made to protect and comfort the human foot. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration and fashion. Just like you put on clothes to beautify your body, so also shoe is used to fashion or decorate the foot to make the down part of your body look good and attractive.On that note, we can define Shoemaking as the process of making fashionable footwear, purposely designed to protect the foot, give comfort and also to beautify the foot.

Originally, shoes were made one at a time by hand, often by groups of shoemakers, or cobblers (also known as cordwainers). In the 18th century, dozens or even hundreds of masters, journeymen and apprentices (both men and women) would work together in a shop, dividing up the work into individual tasks just to come up with a shoe. But today with the help of some key tools shoe making has become an easy job anyone can do anywhere with less effort applied. It has now become rampant and so easy that even a cripple can make as long as he/she has two functional hands to handle the equipment.There is no doubt about the fact that shoe making has now become a lifetime job for some and has also created job opportunity for many all around the world today. I could remember when in my childhood days, when we were asked of our career jobs, no one would like to be a shoe maker. In fact if you tell me I would be a shoe maker then, you are pushing to cry profusely. But today I don’t mind making it a career because I know as long as human race exist, people will continue to wear shoes and that will fetch me enough money I wanted for a good living.
I wouldn't like to border you with lots and lots of theories on this because footwear design is more of practicals even though the theoretical aspect is important too. So I'm goana leave you with this for today. Thanks so much for viewing my entry post. Looking forward to unvail the next topic which is "The benefits of Shoe Making"
Enjoy the rest of your day...!
Much Love💓
