    BRAND PACK 2020 “ Grenson is an old company with a young heart. We believe that craftsmanship and design go hand in hand” Tim Little, CEO & Creative Director Grenson was born in 1866 in Rushden, Northamptonshire. William Green, the founder, started making high quality shoes for London Gentlemen and was so successful that he soon had to build a factory and the company grew from there. Throughout the twentieth Century the company expanded, making a huge contribution to both war efforts along the way. By the Millennium however, like many British shoe companies, the business began to run out of steam. Recently Grenson has undergone a new lease of life, helped by their focus on quality and modern design whilst never losing sight of their impressive heritage.

    COMPILERS NOTES The following is a faithful digitalization of volume VI of F.Y. Golding’s BOOTS AND SHOES. I have taken the liberty of using this original blank page to comment on the material within. Insofar as I was able, I have endeavoured to preserve the original appearance, formatting, kerning, spacing, etc,. of the original work. Sometime, however, this was simply not possible. The typefaces used in the original text are not precisely duplicated in any of the font sets to which I have access. Then too, the spacing between chapter, paragraph, and graphic elements is often inconsistent within the original text. Sometimes a chapter heading will be set an inch and a quarter below the edge of the page, sometime an inch and a half. Sometimes, using a given set of paragraph styles, a page would format almost to the exact word at the bottom margin...and then the next page would run over or come up substantially short. Nevertheless, I have preserved page numbers and the contents of those pages to fairly close extent. Beyond that, nothing has been added or subtracted from the text as it is contained in the original volumes in my possession. It is my fervent hope that this work will help to preserve the Trade and make this invaluable resource more accessible to those students seeking to learn from the past masters.

  • Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes As Shares Rise: R Etail1
    (BN) Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes as Shares Rise: R etail1 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Nike Sock-Like Flyknit Transforming Shoes as Shares Rise: Retail 2012-03-07 05:00:01.4 GMT By Matt Townsend March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Nike Inc.’s latest running shoe got its start when designers tried to solve a longstanding request from athletes: make shoes as comfortable as socks. “We think a lot about what-ifs,” said Ben Shaffer, studio director of Nike’s so-called innovation kitchen. “This was a what-if. What if we made sock shoes?” Nike had tried bringing sock attributes to shoes before, starting in the 1980s with a flimsy mesh sneaker called the Sock Racer. More attempts followed, and while offering comfort, they were insufficiently durable for running and other sports. The world’s largest sporting-goods maker now says it has the solution with Flyknit, a 5.6-ounce running shoe made from synthetic yarn woven together by a knitting machine. Besides giving Nike an edge in the fast-growing lightweight running category, executives say the new weaving process could cut costs enough to move production outside Asia and one day allow anyone to personalize shoes to their exact specifications. “This is a complete game changer,” said Charlie Denson, president of the Nike brand, while holding a Flyknit after its debut in New York last month. The process cuts costs so much “that eventually we could make these shoes anywhere in the world, which makes things very interesting.” Flyknit, which costs $150 and hits U.S. stores in July, is the latest product aimed at the minimalist running movement, whose devotees advocate lightweight shoes to reduce injuries.

  • Shoe Constructions
    U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE DANIEL C. ROPER, Secretary NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS LYMAN J. BRIGGS, Director CIRCULAR OF THE NATIONAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS C419 SHOE CONSTRUCTIONS By Roy C. Bowker eau of Standardt, APR 1 1938 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1938 For sale by tlie Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 10 cents PREFACE Shoes are an important item in the budget of every family. Much general information is available concerning shoes and a multiplicity of types can be purchased over a wide price range. However, methods for use in evaluating the quality and performance of shoes are lacking. Research work on shoes is being conducted at the National Bureau of Standards for the purpose of developing quality and performance standards in terms of value to the individual consumer. A part of the problem has to do with the influence of the type of construction on the ability of the shoe to hold its shape under simulated service conditions. This circular presents the results of a study of the different methods of construction in common use. A review of the literature issued by the trade organizations has shown that there are at least 40 types of shoe construction, each of which is described briefly in this circular and listed under 8 main classes. Comments on the performance of shoes and the value to the con¬ sumer of construction identification marks on shoes are included. Lyman J. Briggs, Director. ir SHOE CONSTRUCTIONS By Roy C. Bowker ABSTRACT This circular contains brief descriptions of 40 individual shoe constructions and discusses their classification under 8 main classes; welt, McKay, Littleway, turn, stitchdown, nailed, cemented, and moccasin.

    +91-8048361294 Ace Exports Limited https://www.indiamart.com/ace-export-ltd/ Manufacturer and supplier of all kinds of safety shoes, uppers, bags, leather belts, wallets and industrial leather gloves. About Us Those who know leather, also know the vital importance of decisions taken while choosing hides bearing the end product in mind. Making shoes is another story, altogether. The similarity between tanning of a hide and the making of a shoe is the deep personal involvement necessary to produce quality goods. Shoe making today, has evolved into a complex science from the art that it was until the middle of the last century. The traditional image of a Chinese workman bent over his last no more sits comfortably in the consumer's mind. Shoe-making has definitely become more complex and undoubtedly hi-tech. Natural skills and latest technologies for making comfortable and durable footwear are now seen as complementing and supplementing each other .One without the other is inadequate. A tour of the factory would reveal, to the discerning eye, all the ingredients to make high performance and aesthetically appealing footwear are installed and in-use. If full leather sole is needed the requisite technology is available.
