Manufacturing a Pair of Shoes - DB Shoes Ltd

This 6 minute video shows a brief overview of some of the processes involved in making a shoe. The shoe progresses from "clicking" or cutting of the leather components, through "closing" or stitching and fitting of the various components to make the upper. The upper is then "lasted", a sole is directly injection moulded onto the upper and finally shoe roomed, inspected and boxed.

Unlike many fully automatic manufacturing processes, shoe making is still very labour intensive and involves a great many manual steps.

DB Shoes are sold in the UK through a network of retailers and online through Widerfit Shoes Ltd. at http://www.widerfitshoes.co.uk

I live in Australia and purchased my first pair yesterday, (Riva 6E)

Wore them all day today and my feet feel wonderful!

I too have wasted so much money over the years chasing shoes that fit my size 5 dumpy feet and I didn't have to 'break them in' first !

I thank you so much, and my feet thank you.

Keep the styles coming, I'll be buying.

I bought my DB Shoes about 3 years ago (size 6 Shannon) and they have been excellent - I'm still wearing them 3 years later - they have lasted so well and they are so comfortable to wear. I used to waste money buying shoes that were longer then needed to get the width to fit my feet - these are the best shoes I've ever worn and they're really light - the only thing I'd say is the DB website needs more (and larger) photos of each shoe including the soles.
