How Shoes are Made: A behind the scenes look at a real sneaker factory Paperback – 28 Feb. 2017

Great book if you would like to design shoes, very detail information with lots of technical and practical information, love it.

A peak behind the curtain of the shoe industry a infighting book if you are wanting to know the process or maybe your own

Very basic information and a lot of it 20+ years old. Buy if you want a basic headline of how shoes are made but note that it mainly covers vulcanised...which is the most basic shoe construction. It’s more of a glossary than a description of how shoes (vulcanised) are made. Ideal for a novice.

If you are interested in designing shoes, read this book. If you want to start and own a shoe company, read this book. If you already have a brand and are interested in adding shoes to your lineup, read this book. Plainly said, this book will save you time and frustration assessing the footwear industry and if it's something for you. If you’re thinking of participating in the shoe game in any way, the contents of this book will add significant value to your vision, plans, business, etc. How Shoes are Made is a goldmine of useful information that you can immediately integrate into your footwear dreams, I highly recommend it.

It’s not wrong, but as a shoemaker I was not impressed.

Good

I love this book!! I bought it as a coffee table book for our home because my husband is a novice designer and loves this stuff but came to find out that it has something for everyone to learn from. It is so interesting to delve into a world you know nothing about and learn so much!! Mr Motawi is a great author and i hope he writes other informational books!! thank you!

I have purchased all 3 of these books and they are a wealth of insight and information. Furthermore, I have been able to email Wade and received helpful responses from him. Really recommended.
