  • Woven vamp has become a new product line which has the advantages of light, breathable and stylable, thus is welcomed by the market. However, current woven vamps are formed by firstly weaving a planar woven fabric, laying out several extended shoe-shaped vamps on the planar woven fabric, forming jacquard or hollow patterns on corresponding parts of the shoe-shaped vamps, and thereafter cutting the vamps by laser machines. However, it takes a long time for the laser machines to cut the vamps; the costs of the machines are also high. For some vamps, after being embroidered or adhered to other fabrics, it is necessary to carry out second cutting operation by laser machines. The manufacturing process is complex, and a large amount of edges, corners and remaining fabric will be wasted. Precise sewing is required for combining the planar vamp and the sole, otherwise the size and shape of the shoe will be affected, resulting in inconsistent shoe size and jeopardizing comfortability and aestheticness. All the aforementioned causes high manufacturing costs of the shoes. Besides, common woven vamps are made of softer fabric, thus the vamps are not firm enough and easily collapse, affecting the outer appearance of the vamps.
  • Upon long-term research, the applicant provides a vamp manufacturing method in Chinese invention patent application number 201610585301.4 titled “An integral vamp manufacturing method and an integral woven vamp” which comprises the following steps: (1) Weaving preparation: according to pattern and technical requirements of the vamp, supply raw color yarns, fusible yarns and elastic yarns to the main color yarn feeder, matching color yarn feeder and elastic yarn feeder, import predetermined program to the vamp machine, and input corresponding parameters; (2) Weaving U-shaped tubular fabric, wherein one side of the U-shaped tubular fabric forms the outer layer of the vamp and the other side forms the inner layer of the vamp; both the outer side and the inner side of the vamp are in tubular shape; the bending portion in the middle of the U-shaped tubular fabric forms the shoe mouth portion at the intersection of the inner layer and outer layer of the vamp; the vamp machine sequentially weaves the setup portion, the outer toe portion, the outer shoe body portion, the outer heel portion, the outer shoe mouth portion to the inner shoe mouth portion, the inner heel portion, the inner shoe body portion and the inner toe portion; partial jacquard patterns, partial elasticity enhancement effects are applied to the outer layer of the vamp according to different techniques and functions required at different parts of the vamp during weaving; (3) Sewing together the inner toe portion sewing eye, and positioning the woven U-shaped tubular fabric to the sewing machine by automatic robotic arm so that the inner toe portion sewing eye is positioned at the needle position of the machine for automatic sewing of the inner toe portion sewing eye; (4) Sewing together the outer toe portion sewing eye, and sucking the U-shaped tubular fabric to the outlet by suction pipe, then obtaining from the outlet the U-shaped tubular fabric with the inner toe portion sewing eye already sewn together, and then sewing together the outer toe portion sewing eye; (5) Forming an integral semi-finished vamp, sleeving the U-shaped tubular fabric with both sewing eyes already sewn together from the shoe mouth portion, and sleeving the inner layer of the vamp into the outer layer of the vamp at the shoe mouth portion to form a double-layer integral semi-finished vamp; (6) Shaping, shape-setting the vamp and sleeving the integral semi-finished vamp onto the shoe last, performing steaming by steam, adjusting and aligning the vamp and the patterns during the steaming process, melting the fusible yarns to adhere the inner layer and outer layer of the vamp together, and removing the shoe last after cooling to form an integral vamp.
