Cement Process

The Cement Process (or Cemented Construction) is a shoe manufacturing method where the outsole is bonded to the upper using strong adhesives, without stitching. This method is common for lightweight, flexible footwear; it’s cost-effective but generally offers lower durability and is more difficult to resole than stitched constructions.

The Cement Process is a traditional and widely used method in shoe and footwear manufacturing, where the outsole is directly bonded to the upper using strong adhesives. This technique allows for flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective shoes while maintaining reliable durability for daily wear. Cemented shoes are ideal for casual, athletic, and work footwear where comfort and production efficiency are priorities.

Key Features

  • Lightweight & Flexible: Direct bonding ensures a flexible sole without added bulk.

  • Cost-Effective: Efficient production process suitable for mass manufacturing.

  • Reliable Bond: High-quality adhesives provide strong attachment between upper and sole.

  • Versatile Materials: Compatible with leather, synthetic, rubber, and EVA soles.

  • Fast Production: Short curing times compared to stitched constructions like Goodyear welt.
