Careful preparation
Punching
First, both the upper leather and the sole material are punched. Leather, fabric and sole material are cut out using punching knives and sometimes by hand.
Shear flake
The leather then needs to be processed in several steps to get the right thickness by splitting and flaking the parts.
Embossing
Now the leather is also embossed with our Docksta brand and the soles with sizes. The soles may need to be roughened or treated in another way, which is also happening now.
Lamination
When we make fabric shoes, we laminate the fabric onto leather using a special laminating film to help the shoes hold their shape better.
