Footwear design has become the new dream career, and this book is the first guide to show the key skills and tips behind the trade, for both budding designers and anyone interested in shoes.Since Christian Louboutin and Manolo Blahnik became household names, footwear design is now one of the most lucrative strands of any fashion brand. Aki Choklat explores the footwear design process, explaining the differences between the anatomy of the foot and the anatomy of a shoe, showing how one constrains the other, before moving onto the research and design development processes and the art of creating

Nepal's footwear industry is small but growing, and has been identified as a priority export sector by the government.Nepal's footwear industry is a relatively small export industry, accounting for just 1.5 percent of the country's total exports in 2017. Similar to other light manufacturing sectors, Nepal's wage advantage in footwear is offset by its low firm-level productivity. Most firms have poor bookkeeping and a lack of accounting. Production facilities are ill-suited for manufacturing and distribution, and conditions in many factories are poor, sometimes dangerous. Nepali footwear manufacturers need to start by improving basic organizational and management skills. There is a dearth of industry-ready education and skills, and an unavailability of trained manpower that impedes investment from both domestic and foreign companies in these sectors. It is pertinent to focus on basic requirements such as education and skills development to increase the pool of skilled manpower in the country across sectors. Developing capabilities in Nepal's small and medium-sized footwear manufacturers requires investment in improving managerial skills, upgrading quality standards, and modernizing production facilities to become safer and more efficient. The government of Nepal can help the domestic footwear industry by providing a vibrant trade policy to allow for deeper integration into regional value chains, opening up opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI), and substantially improving the investment climate.

The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the evolution of athletic footwear and how biomechanics has influenced this evolution. Footwear has undergone a significant evolution from the Paleolithic period to modern times. The origins of footwear emphasized protection from the environment. During the Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras, the need for military shoes drove the development of footwear. It was not until the 19th century that specific footwear for athletic performance was designed. Footwear were improved significantly during the first half of the 20th century but it was not until the latter portion of this century that biomechanics truly had an influence on footwear design. The intersection of biomechanics, injury risk factors and footwear development paralleled the growth in lower extremity research. More recently, the interest in barefoot running has driven the development of minimalist footwear.

The research aims to document the progress of the vegetable tanning of leather hides, involved in the making of local footwear products in Pakistan. The analysis is done specifically on the introduction of Khussa as an environmentally friendly product suitable for the needs of the present target groups. The overall empirical question is to decrease the amount of industrial pollution created in the manufacturing of leather goods through synthetic procedures, especially in the tanning of the leather skins. The observations are based on the pollution intensive environment and spatial urban issues related to trends in technological, economic, social, and political scenario in Pakistan. In the beginning of the paper vegetable tanning and its existence in the leather market of Pakistan will be discussed. Then the involvement of vegetable tanning and manual laborious skills involved in the making of Khussa will be observed to promote ecofriendly procedures in the footwear market. A SWAT analysis at the end of the paper will determine the positioning of Khussa in the present market and how it could be improvised to make it better in future.

Self-regulatory Code of Conduct has widely been adopted by international brands to manage CSR issues in apparel and footwear supply chain for the last 2 decades. Increasingly, more apparel and footwear brands started to expand CSR scope to include environmental management in their supply chain. However, only very few international brands have disclosed their efforts on environmental management in their supply chain. This study aims to find out how apparel and footwear brands implement environmental management in their supply chain. Furthermore, what motivates them to carry out environmental management, and lastly, what challenges the industry encounters in carrying out effective environmental management. Primary and secondary data research were carried out in this study. Primary research, in a form of self-administered survey, was conducted for 11 brands and 15 of their respective suppliers. Secondary research was conducted through desktop research to gather additional information from brands, NGOs, academic studies and news. The study revealed environmental management in apparel and footwear supply chain is becoming more important. However, most of the brands' approaches on environmental management are loose (i.e. lack industry-wide sustainably environmental management strategy), and small in scope (i.e. first tier supplier only). It is suggested apparel and footwear brands should improve effectiveness of environmental management program in their supply chain, by applying different implementation strategies internally, with both brands' and suppliers' governments, suppliers as well as their stakeholders. ; published_or_final_version ; Environmental Management ; Master ; Master of Science in Environmental Management
