Question

NOT WIKIPEDIA

the shoe sneakers

Answer 1

First, depends on the maker, the bottom is usually made of a combination of vinyl plastic and rubber. Adidas first invented the idea of "molding" the sole. Next, the lining of sneakers were usually made of nylon material. The outer part can be either nylon or leather. Sneakers usually consists of many layers, sometimes with thin foams in between. After cut, sew, shape, and dry the upper, it's attach to the sole, and a tape of rubber or plastic is usually used to bind them in addition to glue. Embellish it and then it's ready to wear. Oh yeah, it could be made by fourteen year old in some remote area of th world or by grown up factory workers. (depends on your personal believe.)

Opoos, I didn't see the word "site", sorry, but I did search it and couldn't find it. But the process I described above is true.

First Rubber Soled Shoes/Sneakers
The first rubber soled shoes called plimsolls were developed and manufactured in the United States in the late 1800s. In 1892, nine small rubber manufacturing companies consolidated to form the U.S. Rubber Company. Among them was the Goodyear Metallic Rubber Shoe Company, organized in the 1840s in Naugatuck, Connecticut. This company was the first licensee of a new manufacturing process called vulcanization, discovered and patented by Charles Goodyear. Vulcanization uses heat to meld rubber to cloth or other rubber components for a sturdier, more permanent bond.
On January 24, 1899, Humphrey O'Sullivan received the first patent for a rubber heel for shoes.

From 1892 to 1913, the rubber footwear divisions of U.S. Rubber were manufacturing their products under 30 different brand names. The company consolidated these brands under one name.When choosing a name, the initial favorite was Peds, from the Latin meaning foot, but someone else held that trademark. By 1916, the two final alternatives were Veds or Keds, with the stronger sounding Keds being the final choice.

Keds® were first mass-marketed as canvas-top "sneakers" in 1917. These were the first sneakers. The word "sneaker" was coined by Henry Nelson McKinney, an advertising agent for N. W. Ayer & Son, because the rubber sole made the shoe stealthy or quiet, all other shoes, with the exception of moccasins, made noise when you walked. In 1979, the Stride Rite Corporation acquired the Keds® brand.
