 HOW IT IS
DONE

All running shoes are made by the cold

cement construction process. If you want to
learn how to design shoes you need to know
this basic shoe making process. Cold
cement is the modern updated style of shoe
construction. Due to the low temperatures
required for bonding the upper to the shoe
sole, it allows the use of modern lightweight
plastic, foam and mesh materials.

complete, the two pieces come together. The rubber sole unit will
receive coatings of primer and cement. The outsole will get its
own special primer designed for EVA and rubber. The shoe upper
is also prepared with its own special primer and cement.
