Features: The Chinese footwear industry has traditionally relied on master-apprentice training, where different masters employ distinct teaching methods. This has resulted in significant variations in both operational techniques and perspectives on shoe design and production among apprentices. Such disparities are clearly incompatible with the modern large-scale production model of the footwear industry today. To meet the educational needs of cultivating modern footwear professionals, this book is compiled based on the current state of footwear education in China, drawing upon extensive research by the author and combined with years of teaching experience. Its primary objective is to train footwear professionals with artistic literacy, fostering creativity to expand designers' minds, shaping footwear styles through form, and achieving perfect products through craftsmanship. By shifting from the past focus on technical skills in footwear training, emphasizing the integration of artistic literacy and footwear technology, we ensure that the footwear professionals we cultivate meet the demands of industry development.
