Leather, upper and sole cutting
Shoe cutting dies: measured tooling for leather, uppers and insoles
Shoe cutting dies are prepared so the same part comes out cleanly, again and again. For leather, upper parts, insoles, gasket or textile surfaces, rule height, drawing allowance and material stretch are read together.
Where are shoe cutting dies used?
In shoe production, cutting dies are used for upper parts, insoles, linings, leather accessories, gasket and textile surfaces. Repeatable shape accuracy directly affects production speed.
- Leather and synthetic leather cutting dies
- Upper and lining parts
- Insole, EVA and gasket cutting
- Textile, felt and similar surfaces
What we check before production
The key is to keep the part shape while avoiding pull, crush or rough edges. That is why sample and material information matter at quote stage.
- Material thickness and stretch allowance
- Left-right part symmetry
- Small radius and inner cutouts
- Press type and production quantity
What to send for a quote
We can start from a file, measured sample or old die. With material details, the correct rule and base plan becomes clearer faster.
- PDF, AI, DXF drawing or sample
- Leather, textile, EVA or insole material
- Left-right set and quantity details
- Lead time and delivery expectation
Short questions
Q·01Can shoe dies be made from a sample?
Yes. We can prepare the drawing from a measured sample, old die or part form.
Q·02Is a leather cutting die different from a textile die?
The form may be similar, but the material behavior differs. Rule height, corner turns and pressure expectations are checked accordingly.
Q·03Can you produce a single shoe cutting die?
Yes. We can produce one piece, sample tooling or a production set.
