RESEARCH REPORT
Sandals were the most common footwear in most early civilisations; however, a few early cultures had shoes. In Mesopotamia, types of soft shoes were worn by the mountain people who lived on the border of Iran. The soft shoe was made of wraparound leather, similar to a moccasin. As late as 1850 most shoes were made on absolutely straight lasts, there being no difference between the right and the left shoe.
RESEARCH REPORT
Jan Matzeliger born in 1852 and was an African American inventor best known for his shoe-lasting machine that mechanically shaped the upper portions of shoes. He found employment in a shoe factory and became interested in the possibilities of lasting shoes by machine. Working alone and at night for six months, he produced a model in wood and on March 20, 1883, received a patent. His invention won swift acceptance and within two years had largely supplanted hand methods in Lynn.
RESEARCH REPORT
His patent was subsequently bought by Sydney W. Winslow, who established the United Shoe Machine Company. The continued success of this business brought about a 50% reduction in the price of shoes across the nation, doubled wages, and improved working conditions for millions of people dependent on the shoe industry for their livelihood. He received several other patents for shoe-manufacturing machinery, including an improved model of his first lasting machine.
RESEARCH REPORT
With over 100 years of shoemaking history, Malaysia’s shoe industry has experienced tremendous growth in spite of stiff competition from neighbouring countries. The industry’s humble roots can be traced back to the early 1900s, and it was Penang that played an important role, becoming a hotspot for flourishing shoe businesses and thus heralding the remarkable development of the shoe-making industry from its beginnings to what it is today.
RESEARCH REPORT
It is also a great source of national pride that Dato’ Jimmy Choo, one of the world’s most famous shoe designers, is a Malaysian and an official Tourism ambassador for the nation. Last year’s festival included a gallery showcase of Choo’s works inspired by the Year of the Dragon, which drew the crowds. Other highlights from the 2012 event included a Rainforest Shoe House, a Wedding Shoe Wonderland, a Young Designer corner, as well as a foot health corner (complete with massages to pamper your feet!).
