About Us
At Zarnain Overseas, we proudly carry forward a legacy that spans over 54 years in the leather industry—a journey that began with the vision of our father, Farrukh Iqbal. He started the business by manufacturing men’s and women’s slippers and sandals, which were supplied across India. He later expanded by opening a showroom in South India and began producing fancy shoes and boots. Eventually, he ventured into the leather industry, processing raw hides into wet-blue and later into finished leather production…. Read More

Introduction to Leather Shoe Making
- Overview: Start with the importance of leather in the shoe industry, focusing on its durability, elegance, and comfort.
- Types of Shoes: Highlight various types of leather shoes (e.g., oxfords, loafers, boots) and explain how different styles require different techniques.
- Visuals: Show examples of both finished shoes and raw materials to set the stage.
Designing the Shoe
- Sketching & Design: Show a designer sketching the shoe or using digital tools to plan out the design.
- Pattern Making: Once the design is finalized, patterns for the shoe pieces are created. This step involves cutting templates that will guide the cutting of leather pieces.
- Lasting: Explain the use of a “last,” a foot-shaped mold around which the shoe is built. Each design has a corresponding last that defines its shape and fit.
Cutting the Leather
- Cutting Leather Pieces: Show how the leather is cut into various pieces like the upper, lining, and insole, following the pattern.
- Tools: Highlight the tools used, such as knives, scissors, and cutting dies. This part requires precision for a clean and accurate cut.
Assembling the Upper
- Stitching the Upper: The upper part of the shoe (the leather that wraps around the foot) is sewn together. Explain how stitching must be strong yet aesthetically pleasing.
- Reinforcement: Describe adding reinforcements like toe caps and heel counters for structure and durability.
- Eyelets and Lacing: If the shoe requires lacing, show how eyelets are added and reinforced, especially for styles like Oxfords or Derby shoes.
Attaching the Insole and Outsole
- Insole Preparation: The insole is the part that your foot rests on. Demonstrate how it’s made from durable yet comfortable materials, often leather.
- Lasting Process: Show how the upper is stretched and molded over the last. This stage is crucial in shaping the shoe to ensure it fits perfectly.
- Welt and Outsole: For high-quality shoes, the Goodyear welt method can be explained. The upper is stitched to a welt, which is then attached to the outsole. Other methods include Blake stitching or cementing for different price ranges and qualities.
- Outsole Materials: Different materials for outsoles, such as leather, rubber, or a combination, can be discussed based on the shoe style.
Adding the Heel
- Heel Attachment: Show the attachment of the heel, which could be stacked leather or other materials. This part is often shaped and glued or nailed to the sole.
- Finishing Touches: Smoothing out the edges and aligning the heel with the rest of the shoe is critical to a clean, professional finish.
Finishing the Shoe
- Burnishing & Polishing: Demonstrate the final steps of burnishing, polishing, and conditioning the leather to bring out its natural shine.
- Edge Finishing: The edges of the leather are sealed and polished to ensure they don’t fray and to give the shoe a refined appearance.
- Lacing & Final Inspection: Once the shoe is complete, the laces are added (if applicable), and the shoe undergoes a final quality check for craftsmanship.
