Changes in the footwear manufacture process have brought abouttraceable and tangible mechanization in the industry.Though these machines still need men to make them function, they have tremendously brought down the workload and multiplied the production. Each machine is taken care of by a specialized person who performs the task with it and passes the shoe on to the next - almost like an assembly line production. There are machines to do everything from pressing the lasted shoe at the right temperature and pressure to sterilizing it, moistening it, polishing it etc. The finish and detailing of these machines are remarkable.
