How are shoes made?

What raw materials are shoe made of and how are they extracted?

How are shoes made?
Leather : first they catch an kill a poor cow, or bull, or horse, and maybe even a gator.


Next they skin it, (yep, they're dead, I think) and take the hide or skin to someone that puts it in acid, or something nasty, then these same people send it throgh a process they call "tanning". This is supposed to cure the material and make it useable so it doesn't stink.


Next, they send this processed leather to Mexico, China, or some other place that pays their workers next to nothing to cut, shaped, and assemble these products into shoes, some that will fit according to desired size, and others that are not even close.


Then these shoes are put on boats and shipped back to the states where they are sold at the same price as if they were made here by well paid American workers. Guess who's making money?


These same inferior products are not only sold at Wal Mart, but even the high end national shoe chains and department stores, but of course at different prices. depending on the location and rent the store has to pay.
