1830s Shoes:<\/strong> Producing different shoes for right and left feet started around 1830 in France. In these first attempts, little paper labels on the insoles of the shoes indicated left and right. However, the shoes were still made on straight lasts with no differentiation between the left and right foot. By the end of the 19th century, producing left and right shoes had become common as shoemakers then worked with combinations of sole and vamp cuts tailored to fit either the right or the left foot. The first steps towards the mechanisation of shoemaking were taken during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1810, engineer Marc Brunel developed a machinery that could mass-produce nailed boots for the soldiers of the British Army. But after the end of the war in 1815, manual labour became cheap, and the demand for military shoes declined. The industrialization of shoemaking began around 1830.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"1830-1835](\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/564x\/2f\/7b\/0a\/2f7b0a69124da36d4a104db0eed9eddb.jpg\")
