However, technology has now provided shoe makers with machines which facilitate the mass production of shoes to serve the global market. Shoe makes are skilled artisans who have mastered the techniques of interpreting shoe designs and cutting, pressing and finishing shoes using a wide range of materials, equipment and accessories. Shoes have various components that are combined to form a shoe. These include the outer sole and heel that usually make contact with the ground. The inner part of the shoe that makes contact with the foot is referred to as the inner sole while the outer part that covers the foot is conveniently referred to as the outer. Most shoes have some padding between the outer and inner soles and this has the effect of making shoes really comfortable. With the exception of shoe types such as flip flops and sandals, shoes tend to have some form of fasteners such as laces, Velcro or even zippers. While some of the shoe components are usually produced within shoe factories, others are produced elsewhere and purchased by shoe makers who combine them with the parts that are produced in-house to produce the desired effect.
