Disect

This was horrible to have to do on a pair of my own trainers, but really worth it. I have now realised that I will have to do this for what ever trainers I choose to use to show what they actually consist of. I will vector the designs when I get some better images and see how they would look in flat pack form as well as looking on ebay for other trainers that I could possible use.

The information that I recorded while taking the shoes apart -
Glue around the heel under mud guard, glue under leather under the tick to mesh and on the section below that. Heel connected to front of the shoe (mesh) using a different stitch to the rest of the shoe and glued down. Foam strip around ankles for comfort and what I think is plastic supporting the achilles heel. Also on areas where the stitching may be under more pressure than others there is usually extra less fabricated material supporting the stitches.

The different sections in the shoes - 
Sole of the shoe - air bubbles (plastic) x2, Insole x1, Foam stuff (will find out technical term), Sole design x3. Total - 6
Tongue - Labels x2, Lace support, Mesh Layer x1, Foam (middle) x1, Inside layer x1 Total - 4
Leather - Pannels over the body x5, Mudguards x3, Ticks x2 Total - 10
Heel - Mesh Layer x1, Foam around ankle x1, material middle layer x1, stitch supports? x2, inner layer x1, Heel support x1 Total - 7
Plastic - Lace support x4, Nike air on the back of trainer x1, air max on either side x2 Total - 7
Other - Front mesh x1, Laces x 1, stitch support under tick x2 - Total 4
Total - 39, not including eye holes or stitching? 18 eye holes.
