Woodcut of shoemakers from Frankfurt am Main, 1568. Two shoemakers in Vietnam in 1923. Shoemaking is the process of making footwear.. Originally, shoes were made one at a time by hand, often by groups of shoemakers, or cordwainers (sometimes misidentified as cobblers, who repair shoes rather than make them [citation needed]).
The earliest known shoes are sagebrush bark sandals dating from approximately 7000 or 8000 BC, found in the Fort Rock Cave in the US state of Oregon in 1938. [5] The world's oldest leather shoe, made from a single piece of cowhide laced with a leather cord along seams at the front and back, was found in the Areni-1 cave complex in Armenia in 2008 and is believed to date to 3500 BC.

A last is a mechanical form shaped like a human foot. [9] Lasts come in many styles and sizes, depending on the exact job they are designed for. Common variations include simple uniform lasts for shoe repair, custom-purpose mechanized lasts for shoe factories, and custom-made lasts for bespoke footwear.
The components of a Goodyear welted shoe. A Goodyear welt is a strip of leather, rubber, or plastic that runs along the perimeter of a shoe outsole. [1] The basic principle behind the Goodyear welt machine was invented in 1862 by August Destouy, who designed a machine with a curved needle to stitch turned shoes.
In the U.S., the annual footwear industry revenue was $48 billion in 2012. In 2015, there were about 29,000 shoe stores in the U.S. and the shoe industry employed about 189,000 people. [47] Due to rising imports, these numbers are also declining. The only way of staying afloat in the shoe market is to establish a presence in niche markets. [48]
