Jak se šijou Ahinsa shoes? | How are Ahinsa shoes sewn?

Come on in – you don’t need to take your shoes off. The doors to our workshop in Croatia open to you. Today we’ll show you how healthy and comfortable shoes are sewn right here in our workshop, where we’ll make a brand-new pair of Pura sneakers. 👣 ➡️ Let’s start in the warehouse, where roles of materials await us. All the materials are ethical and (almost) indestructible. ➡️ We have the material – now we’ll cut out the segments. The process looks a bit like cutting cookies. ➡️ We use machines that will reliably sew together stiff and strong material. Using a machine called a Strobel, we’ll sew the insole onto the upper material. The shoe is starting to look a bit more like a shoe. It now has a shape. ➡️ We sew on the tongue and glue on foam trimming where we need to soften the shoe. Now it’s time for the laces. ➡️ We then fasten the sewn and laced shoe onto the shoe-last. We use our own shoe-lasts, because traditional ones are too narrow. ➡️ We attach the sole to the shoe and mark where it will be attached. ➡️ We apply reliable glue to the coarsened surface and sole. We tested various types and ended up selecting ecological glue from Germany. The Pura sneakers are done! 💛
