Customers send shoes to replace the floor and install side zippers.

Customers send shoes to replace the floor and install side zippers.

There was a sentence the teacher said to me during the shoe internship, and I always remember it.

"Not every line... has to be as straight as a machine."

At first I tried to sharpen every point of work, exactly, and control every millimeter.

But when I worked more shoes, I began to understand

Shoe work is not just "fidelity."

But it also has the matter of "rhythm" and "flow of shape."

Especially modified works like installing zippers and changing floors.

Be it.

• Side zip line

• Zipper tape paste

• Ankle span joints

• Flow of leather to nylon fabric

• Or a new line to the upper

These points do not have a 100% fixed formula.

Because each shoe has its own "rhythm."

Specifically, Tactical / Combat shoes with both rigid and elastic parts are in the same pair.

If forced to make everything too hard

The work may seem neat... but lacks harmony.

Free-handed work does not mean perfunctory.

The mechanic's eyes also need to control the symmetry, range and balance of both shoes.

Because the goal is not just to "put a zipper on" or "change the floor."

But is to make everything look like it should be like this in the first place

A good mechanic doesn't just know when to measure.

But also know... when to trust your hands

Right there.

It's where repair work starts to become a real craft.
