Grand Shoes is an online shoe retailer that offers a wide variety of shoes from major brands in many sizes to cater to consumers with large feet. The company applies the "long tail" concept of selling niche products in small quantities to meet the needs of minority customers that are often ignored by other retailers with physical space limitations. By creating an online store, Grand Shoes can cost-effectively store and deliver a diverse shoe selection to customers around the world. This strategy helps solve a social problem while building a positive brand image.
ms shoes have become a popular fashion accessory and status symbol beyond their original purpose of protecting feet. While staying on top of changing fashion trends can be expensive, buying designer shoes online provides the opportunity to get stylish pairs at lower prices compared to stores. Some argue that cheap shoes compromise quality and comfort, but affordable online options exist that still provide foot protection while being budget-friendly for those who cannot afford designer boutique prices or wish to build varied shoe collections. The document promotes buying ms shoes online for fashion and business purposes at lower costs than in stores.
Most people like to wear shoes more often confused whether to invest in a designer pair or just go for the cheapest . This is a debate that has surrounded the fashion industry for a while now .

A virtual currency (also known as a digital currency) is a medium of exchange implemented through the Internet generally, not tied to a specific government-backed “flat” (printed) currency such as the U.S. dollar or the Euro, and typically designed to allow instantaneous transactions and borderless transfer of ownership. One example of virtual currency is cryptocurrency, wherein cryptography is used to secure transactions and to control the creation of new units.
[0002] Several cryptocurrencies exist. Among these, the most well known is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency. Most blockchain-based cryptocurrency is decentralized in the sense that it has no central point of control. However, blockchain-based cryptocurrency can also be implemented in a centralized system having a central point of control over the cryptocurrency.

This book centers around a mathematical principle labelled ‘matrices’. This author, whose memory is about as tough as a tungsten trap, vividly recalls studying matrices at high school in the 1980s. Students in the class asked our teachers to offer real-life applications. They couldn’t. I recall asking a mathematics teacher in 2014 who teaches pre university matriculation level math at a private school. He is a smart fox with a Masters in pure math. He couldn’t offer an application. He seemed to try and make out he could. I can sniff bamboozle manure miles away.
Perhaps there are real-life applications for matrices. Just as there are real-life purposes for Sine, Cosine and Tangent. In 1986, I memorized that Sine equals opposite over hypotenuse. I earned credit for this rote fact in grades 9 to 11. Thirty plus years later, I have absolutely no idea how or why this meaningless fact (or fabrication) can improve the quality of my life or others.
A great deal of what we are forced to learn at school, work and society are enslavement rituals that aim to trap us into a set of meaningless matrices. Automatic rules that reward us with credit and penalties drive this system. Most men who refuse to choke themselves with a functionless necktie, symbolic bondage, will never rise the corporate slavery ladder. The same system controls ambitious corporate women who must wear makeup and execute their role as docile dolly birds.
May this book offer one or more ideas that can empower you to escape this gulag matrix. This prison planet ultimately serves to benefit the 0.001% such as inbred royals and fake apex clergy who use our taxes and donations to live trillionaire lifestyles behind their childish velvet curtains.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.

Part one Shoe types
This book is about shoes. This noun is synonymous with ‘footgear’ and ‘footwear’. Most people
wear shoes at least once in their lives. The meaning of this word needs no serious introduction
beyond the cutesy pictures below that illustrate these paired objects. The image on the left
illustrates footwear targeted at the ladies’ market. The picture on the right shows men’s footgear.
This book is structured into three main parts. The first section classifies shoe types. It links this
taxonomy to the territory where its owners are most likely to wear these apparel. The second
section explores shoe themes. Topics of discussion include time period of the product ranges,
design traditions, fashion gimmicks and trademark originality. The final major section explores
five aspects of aesthetic form: tone, textures, therapeutics, ties and tacks.
The goal of this open-access short book is ambitious. It aims to create a comprehensive handbook
that illustrates the breadth of core concepts that shoes designers should consider when they
create their signature-style masterpieces. This book aims to inspire creative geniuses like you.
7. 2
Classifications
There are numerous ways to classify shoe types. The system that you adopt may vary by context.
The sub-sections below examine popular taxonomies. I also construct my own tripartite scheme.
Online
It is easy to find shoe classification systems online using popular search engines such as Yahoo
Images. The search string “shoe types” delivers dozens of useful charts such as these examples.
Source, Quora.com (author unknown)
9. 4
Functions
Virtually all footwear designers consider the single or dominant purpose of the shoes that they
construct. Footgear that have narrow purposes may best illustrate this concept.
I posit that footwear may be classifiable by three broad functions;
Specific purpose;
Multi-purpose;
Most purposes.
Specific purpose shoes are designed for narrow contexts. Karate shoes and golfer shoes are
examples of footgear that are made for specific situations.
The image above illustrates shoes designed for a ballerina to wear during public performances.
10. 5
Multi-purpose shoes are appropriate for few functions. The images below of dress shoes with
heels are an example of footwear that is best suited for a handful of scenarios. Popular examples
include attending formal events (e.g. weddings), corporate wardrobe and evening wear.
Most purposes shoes are a subtle extension of the multi-purpose classification. Their functional
design is self-explanatory. They can be worn in numerous contexts. Sports shoes and generic flat
casual shoes can be worn in several environments. Examples of these uses includes:
Jogging;
Light hiking;
Gardening;
Playing sports such as tennis and basketball;
Casual wear, such as attending family barbecues;
Shopping expeditions that involve extensive walking;
Exercising and working out at the gymnasium;
Office work that does not require corporate wardrobe (e.g. basement archivist).
Images overleaf are illustration examples of sports shoes and casual shoes.

Sports shoes
Casual shoes
The ‘map of Africa’ image, above right, illustrates the partial overlap between some sports shoes
and casual shoes. These black casual shoes have a design that is somewhat sporty.
Converse ™ is a famed example of an established shoe brand that designs footgear that are
suitable for sports and fashionable casual wear. The figures above are illustration examples.
12. 7
Aesthetic
Some shoes are classifiable by their lack of utility. Examples are rare. Art-oriented fashion
designers sometimes create showy shoes that are designed to entertain audiences at catwalk
fashion shows and art exhibitions. These melting chocolate shoes are an example. You lick?
Design
Other popular classifications of shoes overlap with issues shown in the ‘function’ illustrations on
the prior three pages. Laced (below left) and non-laced (below right) designs are an example.
13. 8
Heeled shoes (below left) and non-heeled flat shoes (below right) are a popular classification.
Open shoes (below left) and closed shoes (below right) are a way to classify footgear. Closed
shoes fully conceal the wearer’s feet. They are best suited for protective work applications.
The three design classifications above overlap. The top left image above of flips flops may be
classified in multiple ways. For example, they are non-laced, non-heeled informal wear. They also
have an open design. The aesthetic of this footgear conveys a casual aura. They are suitable for
leisurely activities such as walking around the home garden or along a sandy beach coastline.
14. 9
Case study Additional-purpose shoes
Some shoe designs incorporate functions that go beyond supporting and decorating feet.
Numerous examples may be found via online search engines. Gameboy shoes are an example of
an eccentric additional-purpose shoe. The design incorporates a storage area for digital games.
Street stylista (2009)
15. 10
Part Two Terrain
Many shoe designers instinctively classify shoe designs as exclusively or dominantly suitable for
indoor or outdoor activities. Images below are footwear designed for heavy duty outdoor use.
Ballroom dancing shoes and tap-dancing shoes are designed primarily for delicate indoor use.
16. 11
Case study Terrain
Diving shoes are an example of footgear that has narrow purposes as identifiable from their
name. Fin designed diving footwear have a very narrow purpose. The dynamic shape propels
divers forward as they kick their legs. Anyone who has attempted to walk along the ground
wearing diving fins knows that this is an extremely slow and difficult act. And comical to watch.
Diving shoes are an example of how designers adapt footgear that has a single role to create a
fashion-wear that has practical purposes. Soft fabric scuba divers’ shoes are an example.
Fashionable ‘Scuba Sneakers’ are suitable for earthly leisure wear and light scuba diving.
Functional scuba diving shoes (Zappos, 2019) Scuba sneakers (Popinac, 2019)
17. 12
Part Three Time
Most fashion designers strategically consider the time period theme for each line of footwear
that they design. Broadly speaking there are three main eras that designers may select:
Retrospective (‘retro’) designs;
Contemporary (‘modern’) designs;
Innovative (‘futuristic’) designs.
Retrospective models aim to emulate a look from a past era. A retro theme example is ‘1980s
London punk army boots’ that are popular among some leading designers such as Dr. Martens.
In 2019, a person may buy an original pair of Dr. Martens punk shoes from a second hand store
that were made in the 1980s. The shoe designer of that pair is not a retro artist. The shoes are
from a retro period. The designer of that period was a contemporary punk fashion designer.
18. 13
Contemporary modes align with current fashion trends. They are not synonymous with
mainstream fashion. Some alternative and niche designs reflect current trends in those domains.
Dr. Martens is an example of an established brand that rarely markets contemporary designs.
The images below are a novel exception. This collaborative design aimed to emulate the current
camouflage pattern of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) (Freshness Mag, 2012).
In a similar vein to the exception example above, Dr. Martens sometimes design futuristic theme
footwear. This shoemaker’s Vegan Galaxy Range has a progressive connotation. It aligns with the
gradual growth of vegan consumers and mainstreaming of space institutions such as Space X.
(Etsy, 2019a)
19. 14
Case study Time as brand
Dr. Martens are a useful brand to examine for all three period examples. This corporation’s image
centers around time. Dr. Martens was founded in 1947. During the 1960s-1980s, this brand
became associated with sub-cultures such as rebellious skin heads, punks and grunge hippies
who reject social norms such as consumerism and the corporate career life course. The popularity
of their footwear skyrocketed from fringe to borderline mainstream during the early 1990s. The
firm almost went bankrupt in 2003, due to rapidly declining sales.
In contemporary times, Dr. Martens retailers explicitly acknowledge the massive global successes
that this brand experienced during its glory decade, the 1990s (Wildfang, 2019).
The image above shows how Dr. Martens retailers refer to 1990s modes to reassure customers
that contemporary designs match peak success fashions from the 1990s. Dr. Martens branding
team face a quandary. Image modernization may alienate customers who prefer heritage purity.
On the other hand, failure to innovate may eventually bore loyal customers. It may also alienate
youth who do not want to emulate their parents dress code when they were the same age.
20. 15
Part Four Tradition
Diligent fashion creators reflect deeply on the style of shoes that they design. Style is one of the
core factors that consumers assess when they select apparel among the numerous alternatives.
Other core factors include affordability (e.g. value) and the functional utility of the product.
The Random House Dictionary (2019) defines ‘style’ as “a particular kind, sort, or type, as with
reference to form, appearance, or character.”
There are numerous style taxonomies in fashion literature. I simplify these debates by discussing
five specific styles. I explore how these have been used to construct and market tennis shoes.
The five distinct styles that I define and illustrate in this chapter are:
1. Traditional;
2. Classic;
3. Cutting edge;
4. Avant garde;
5. Fads.
Tradition is a cultural concept that refers to historical roots. It may be associated with
anthropological concepts such as folk heritage from prior centuries and ancient history. The
modern form of tennis emerged during the late 19th Century. In the sports context, traditional
tennis shoes may be marketed as ‘vintage’ designs by those who sell old stock from prior decades
or centuries. It may also be used by current manufacturers who aim to revive such styles.
21. 16
Etsy.com is an example of a shoe retailer that maintains a specialist search category titled
“Vintage tennis shoes”. The image below captures an extract from this online sales interface.
These original tennis shoes from the 1970s are explicitly marketed as “Vintage tennis shoes”.
Classic
With reference to its fashion definition, the Collins Dictionary (2019a), offers the following
interpretation of the noun ‘classic’:
Continuously in fashion because of its simple and basic style
[example] a classic day dress
US, Informal continuing in fashion because of its simple style
[example] said of an article of apparel
Many tennis commentators regard the Dunlop Volley shoe range to be a prime example of a
classic tennis shoe (e.g. Moore, 2018). The first version of this shoe was sold in 1939.
22. 17
This shoe’s canvas fabric, flexi-rubber sole, lace-up ties and narrow white body has barely
changed since the 1960s. The Dunlop Volley has never ceased production. Images below show
retail versions of this shoe from the mid-1970s and 2019.
Yu (2018) [c. 1976] Volley (2019)
The “White/Green/Gold” 2019 edition is near-identical to the version worn by professional tennis
player Mark Edmondson when he won the Australian Open Men’s Singles crown in 1976.
Cutting edge
The Collins Dictionary (2019b) defines the adjective ‘cutting edge’ as “techniques or equipment
are the most advanced that there are in a particular field”.
An example of cutting edge apparel are shoes and clothes worn at catwalk fashion parades at
upmarket fairs in Paris, Rome and New York. Such events offer their audiences a preview of elite
fashion months prior to the distribution of these shoes and garments in mainstream stores and
niche retail outlets.
23. 18
Tennis shoes that market themselves as ‘cutting edge’ focus on advanced technological
innovations that provide club and professional players with a competitive advantage.
Tennis Warehouse (2019a) is among the largest online retailers of tennis equipment and apparel.
Tennis Warehouse uses the term ‘cutting edge’ to describe the advanced materials and comfort
features of the KSwiss Knitshot men’s tennis shoes. The text image above shows these words.
Avant garde
Fashion designer Barbara I Gongini (2019) describes avant garde fashion as
An intellectual, artistic and cultural movement characterized by the experimental, the
radical and the unorthodox approaches. Derived from French and meaning vanguard or
advance guard, the term describes the few who dare to go in front and defy conventions.
Avant garde technologies and fashion may overlap with the notion of ‘cutting edge’ in some
peoples’ minds. A distinction between these nouns is that avant garde designers take risks. Avant
garde technology trials advanced techniques that are not yet proven to develop recognized best
practices.
24. 19
Experimental, innovative fashion and technologies are used to construct and market tennis
footwear. Tennis Warehouse (2019b) uses the noun avant garde to market a range of Adidas
tennis shoes that are ultra-light and minimalist compared to competitors with similar designs.
The use of the adjective ‘forward-thinking’ in the advertisement above is consistent with the term
‘avant garde’. This advertisement markets the “design” and “materials” as avant garde. It
explicitly uses these words to convey this core marketing message concerning innovation.
25. 20
Case study Fads
The adjective ‘fad’ describes a phenomenon that briefly enjoys mass popularity. Fads usually
involve people purchasing a good or service and conspicuously consuming this in public. Some
fads are revived years later and repeat the same cycle. Other fads never repeat. Many people
equate fads with adjectives such as ‘tacky trends’ and ‘gimmicks’ that are short lived.
During the late 1980s, leading sports apparel manufacturer Puma marketed their basketball
shoes as fit to wear ‘untied’. This case study shows how product fads can be marketed with
reference to the ways that a product manufacturer opts to market a mainstream product and
how their customers freely adapt their use of a conventional product.
This fad was rarely replicated on the sports field by elite professionals for safety reasons.
27. 22
Case study Each to their own
Some fashion critics state that flashing lights trainers are tasteless. They are worn by show-offs
who thrive on being the center-of-attention. Others argue these footgear range are fun. Owners
share the positive energy of flashing lights with others and bear the expenses such as batteries.
Opinions about taste may vary by context. For example, a child wearing flashing sneakers at a
dance party may be appropriate behavior. According to some, the same opinion may not be true
of a mature-age corporate executive attending a board meeting at a global merchant bank.

28. 23
Part Six Trademark ™
Any designer may trademark their art at a trademark registry if their work meets registration
requirements. Criteria for trademark recognition are broadly similar in all jurisdictions. The
United States Patent and Trademark Office offers guidelines for American registered trademarks.
Trademarked work must be distinguishable to attorneys trained to recognize unique merits of
text, images and symbols. Many specialist shoe manufacturers display the trademark logo ™
against their corporate brand name as their corporate brand and logo are trademark registered.
The ®symbol indicates that the brand logo is registered as intellectual property.
29. 24
Case study Trademark infringement
Those interested in following current trademark infringement cases about shoe branding may
opt to read the ongoing ‘Adidas America versus Skechers USA’ court case. Adidas claim that
Skechers’s stripe design infringes its famous three stripes branding trademark.
Skechers’s attorneys argue that multiple shoe manufacturers use multi colored stripe designs on
trainers/sneakers and casual shoes. The image below offers four brand examples.
30. 25
Part Seven Tones
Sales clerk: Hello madam. What sort of notebook computer are you looking for?
Customer: A pink one.
I overheard this conversation in an electronics store seven years ago. I almost wet my pants from
laughter. I repeated the encounter verbatim to my roommate. He informed me that he worked
in a computer store part-time when he was at college. He said that “about 10% of all young ladies
who entered the store to buy a notebook computer walked up to the counter and asked to buy
a pink laptop”. The model and functions were not core considerations.
Colors are powerful. The same color may convey different meanings to alternative people.
Interpretations may vary among shades of the same color. For example, some people associate
dark tone khaki boots with the military. Light khaki tone boots may remind them of gardening.
Those designing shoes may benefit from researching the dominant meanings associated with
functional shoe types for the most likely consumers and situations that are associated with their
brand, shoe type and objectives. This may maximize sales and positive reviews among customers.
Some customers mostly black shoes because ‘black goes with everything’. Many consumers
believe that blue shoes are the most neutral color. This shade rarely offends others. Some people
never buy ashy toned shoes as grey is ostensibly a sad hue. Brown tones may be a faux paus
choice for unsavory reasons. Purple for some is the color of mystery, piety and non-conformity.
31. 26
Case study Red shoes
What is so sacred about red shoes? Perhaps there is no enigma. Shoes come in all hues. Red is
just another tone. May you freely reflect on these famed images and draw your own conclusions.
Do you concur that heavily discounted men’s shoes in retail stores are often limited to a small
range of colors? Popular colors from the same range are not discounted. Heavy price cuts may
reflect paltry sales. Some shoe tones don’t match most people’s wardrobe. Tones such as
mustard and orange are examples of casual shoe colors that match few gent’s shirts and pants.
32. 27
Part Eight Textures
In the shoe design context, texture contains two overlapping main elements. The first relates to
the choice of material. The second relates to the feel and performance of the material.
The list below are some examples of material that designers may select to incorporate into the
main body of shoes and attachments such as laces and removable shoe linings.
Wool (natural);
Leather and suede (natural);
Vinyl, plastic, polyester, nylon and foam (artificial);
Cottons such as canvas and linen (natural);
Rubber (natural).
The performance of each material may depend on factors such as the quality of the supplier and
the chemicals that the material has been exposed to during manufacturing processes. Bonded
leathers are usually cheaper and coarser than finer grade leathers such as full grain leathers.
Expensive materials do not always offer the most comfort. Many rubber shoes are more
comfortable than rigid shoes made from fine leather grades. Rubber shoes may offer better
performance if the user requires maximum flexibility. Canvas construction shoes may offer better
comfort and performance for some trampolinists than superior grade leather substitutes.
33. 28
Case study Ugg boots
Ugg Boots are a nongendered style of sheepskin boot. They are normally made from twin-faced
sheepskin. The boot’s inside is lined with fleece. The outer surface is lined with sheep hide.
Boots made from sheep fleece and hide offers advantage over Ugg Boots made from polyester.
√ Wool is more durable than synthetics and may be cheaper in the long run;
√ Many consumers enjoy the smell of natural fibers such as wool;
√ Wool is less allergenic than artificial substitutes in most cases;
√ Natural fibers such as wool offer better insulation than artificial substitutes;
√ Wool is less likely to absorb moisture from rain and it dries faster;
√ Wool allows skin to breathe and reduces perspiration and moisture retention.
Many of these advantages translate to other natural fibers in comparison to artificial substitutes.
34. 29
Part Nine Therapeutics
To some degree, all shoe designers must consider the comfort, health and safety of those who
wear their shoes. A line of shoes that are painful or dangerous may damage a brand’s general
standing among stakeholders and customers. They may also result in lawsuits or prosecution.
Comfort extends beyond construction materials discussed in the prior chapter. The height, width,
contours and weight of a shoe’s dimensions underpin its general feel and performance.
Requirements may vary widely among users who wear the same shoe type for different contexts.
Some workers require formal office shoes that have bulky, tough dry soles and surfaces to protect
them from spiky debris that scatters the floor in work areas. An office worker who frequently
climbs ladders may require office shoes that are tight, minimalist, light and have sticky grip soles.
35. 30
Case study Dr. Scholl’s Shoes
Dr. Scholl’s ™ is an example of a global-reach shoe manufacturer that images its brand around its
therapeutic properties. The wooden shoes below offer strong protection from hazards such as
broken glass. The firm, smooth wooden sole may promote sound posture for certain persons.
The open top design of Dr. Scholl’s sandals allows feet to breathe. The raised contours on the
rubber sole of the shoe below (Tradesy, 2019) prevent feet sliding and massage a person’s foot.
36. 31
Part Ten Ties
All shoes must be capable of remaining attached to feet as its wearer moves about. The decision
about what binds to select normally depends on core factors such as:
The affordability of the bind;
The physical performance and durability of the binding material;
The physical compatibility of the bind to the shoe’s construction and fabric;
The aesthetic compatibility of the bind to the shoe’s construction and fabric;
The reception of the choice among retailers and consumers.
The ‘reception of choice’ factor contains many sub-issues. For example, designers may need to
determine if they want the bind to convey a classic image or a seasonally popular look. They may
also reflect on ease of use. Some customers prefer sophisticated options for certain shoe types.
Other factors to consider vary by context. Examples of these issues include:
Civil Law – the need to avoid negligent design decisions;
Legislation – the need to abide by occupational health and safety statutes.
The sub-section overleaf shows by pictorial illustration examples of popular shoe binds and
examples of ‘eccentric’ (i.e. alternative) shoe binding options. All options are self-explanatory.
43. 38
Part Eleven Tacks
Conscientious designers should carefully consider how they want the manufacturer to bind their
shoes. Mediocre binding methods can damage the reputation of a brand line or the parent brand.
Many shoes in good condition are discarded merely because a small faulty section splurged open.
Broadly speaking there are four main shoe binding options: glue, nails, stitching and snap lock.
The table below generalizes the cost and performance benefits of each option. The actual cost
and performance for each brand line may vary widely by context.
Binding method Cost Performance
Glue Cheap Average
Nails Manual labor is expensive. Superior
Stitching Medium cost Good
Snap lock Varies Varies
The options shown in the table above are not mutually exclusive. Some handmade footwear uses
nails to bind the shoe sole with the upper body. They may also use stitching to attach the laces
section onto the body. Furthermore, they may use glue to bind the inner sole lining. Images
overleaf illustrate each option. The name of each option is self-explanatory for most people.
46. 41
Case study Boot-making economics
Bootmakers are less common than they were in past centuries Boot-making is a labor-intensive
profession. This process vastly raises the unit cost of each pair of shoes.
Many consumers are happy pay premium prices for handmade quality footwear. It is cheaper in
the long run than replacing low cost broken shoes. It is also more pleasant to wear one pair of
attractive shoes for a decade than 10 pairs of cheap plastic substitutes over the same period.
Ras (2015)
Savvy fashion design decisions may extend beyond the selection of tone, texture, ties and tack.
47. 42
Part twelve Treatments
We have not quite yet finished designing our signature-style smash-hit masterpieces. We need
to coat and protect our fanciful footwear. There are no short cuts to excellence.
Once a shoe is assembled there are two options to consider regarding surface finishing: act or
ignore. Surface finishing involves processes that refine and protect the final product. A simple
example is the choice to protect surface cottons with a spray treatment1 such as Scotchgard™.
Surface finishing processes are not always done after a shoe is assembled. It
may be done automatically by the material manufacturer voluntarily or as a
customized request by the client. Preassembly treatments are a wise choice
when it is difficult to treat certain parts of a shoe after it is assembled.
Decisions about surface finishing are usually driven by economics. This reality underpins virtually
all design decisions in this book. It is common for designers to not pursue every option that will
improve product quality and popularity. It is too expensive to do everything they want to do.
Images overleaf summarize some product finishing issues that designers may consider. Images
are self-explanatory. The relevance of these decisions may vary by context such as shoe type.

50. 45
Case study Costing and pricing
Most fashion designers are required to understand the basics of product costing and pricing
templates. These forms are designed and processed by accountants. With rare exception,
businesses will not manufacture a good that is unprofitable, i.e. unit costs exceed unit revenue.
The image above is a basic template that illustrates a product that is profitable to manufacture.
Ingram (2019)
This shoe can earn the manufacturer USD100 revenue per unit sold to apparel retailers such as
Macys. The total unit costs of producing each unit are USD49. Total profit per unit is USD51.
It is beyond the scope of this art centric book to offer detailed information about unit costing.
Feel free to email the author of this book if you have questions about unit template calculations
for shoe costs. He has much experience in this area. My professional experience informs me that
creative geniuses such as yourself will receive much support from your awesome accountants.
51. 46
Part thirteen Tag-ons
Most shoe sales do not include free accessories such as miniature cases of shoe polish. Many
superior quality footwears provide basic free accessories that are loaded in the shoe box or string
bag. For example, it is customary for upmarket office shoes to include a spare shoe lace and a
small simple shoe horn that aims to protect the upper rear entry slot of the product.
The decision by footgear manufacturers and retailers to supply free accessories with shoes sales
depends on multiple factors. Examples of popular considerations includes:
The net impact on profits;
Expectations of customers for that brand;
Unique requirements for that specific shoe line (e.g. red canvas);
Industry norms for specific shoes categories such as occupational work boots.
Certain shoe styles should include minimum specific accessories. Some upmarket shoes use
materials and tones that are exceptionally difficult to match with laces and polishes sold in most
shoe stores. Such products may opt to gift a free set of shoe laces and shoe polish in the box.
Economics is King, or Queen in the retail business. If free accessories increase net profits, then
you may consider including these supplies. Illustration images overleaf offer examples of
accessories that manufacturers and retailers may consider including with certain shoe products.
53. 48
Warranty certificate
Customer support business card
Spare inner soles
Spare inner soles may be essential in cases where generic retail supplies do not fit the shoe shape.
54. 49
Case study To advertise or not advertise?
The decision to deposit commercial advertising in sales bags or shoe boxes for a line of footwear
is a factor that can reap net positive or net negative benefits dependent on context. In most
cases, the inclusion of a small, single, tasteful, non-intrusive advert will not offend customers.
Those who do not like the promotion or are not interested will likely ignore/discard this material.
Advertising is more likely to irritate customers when it does not relate to the product they have
purchased. The same applies when the material promotes goods or services of a third party.
55. 50
Summary
This book aims to motivate champion fashion designers such as yourself to toil hard, study harder
and realize your birthright aesthetic excellence. There are millions of wannabe fashion designers
out-and-about who are equally talented and passionate about their creative career.
My theory is that designers who craft their trademark ™ signature-style by tenacious trial-and-
error persistence are the legends who crack the big time and leave a lasting impression. Your
artistic signature-style exists. Yes, it does. It is as unique as your fingerprint, voice, iris and DNA.
The template on page iv provides basic
guidance for those who design footwear.
The points in this matrix may be useful
for apparel and accessory designers.
You may write to the author of this book at any time. I wish you stratospheric success .
