Raw Materials:-



 Leather – is the main component used for the shoe manufacturing


The different kinds of leather are:-

 Buffalo Leather – is the most widely available leather in India and is most of the time used in the manufacturing of the shoe.

 Cow Leather – is the second most abundantly available leather in India

 Goat Leather – is very rarely used in the manufacturing of the shoe. It only comes in use when a specific buyer orders for it.

 Sheep Leather – is not in demand as the leather is not abundantly available in India

 Chicken Skin – is one of the very rarely used leather in the manufacturing of the shoe

 Horse Hair – is generally used as a part and parcel of fashion, as it gives a roughish look to the shoe. This kind of shoe is generally in demand in the European Countries as the Europeans are very fashionable and cost – conscious.

 Hide Leather – is generally used in the making of sole. Hide leather provides stiffness and as well as solidness to the shoe.

 Reptile Leather – is very rarely used in the manufacturing of the shoe. It only comes in use when a specific buyer orders for it.
