Agra's Dawar Plant: Crafting Quality Shoes for Global Markets
Agra is known for its shoes, which are popular all over the world. The largest shoe plant in Agra, called Dawar, is famous for making high-quality leather shoes. This plant works with many international shoe companies, creating shoes that meet global standards.
The Shoemaking Process
Making a shoe is a detailed process that involves several important steps. First, artisans take measurements and help customers choose the style of the shoe. A good bespoke shoe should fit perfectly, like a glove.
Next, they create a shoe last, which is a mold that shapes the shoe. After that, they cut the patterns from the leather and click the pieces together.
Once the pieces are ready, they assemble the shoe, stitching everything securely. Then, a trial shoe is made to check the fit and comfort.
Finally, the artisans add the finishing touches, ensuring every detail is perfect. Once completed, the shoes are placed in the shoe room, ready to be shipped to customers. This careful process shows the skill and dedication of the artisans in Agra, making each shoe special.
