Sure, who doesn't have an ftir spectrometer to find out the composition of the plastic parts? And let's add a quantometer for the screw holding the heel and the sole together...

No offense, you don't know what you're talking about, do you?

The better (and easiest) thing would be asking directly to a shoe manufacturer...

Hello,

Thanks for your anwers. Of course, taking appart a few shoes and analyze them would have been the best, but we don't have labs and materials available for whatever we want! Asking a manufacturer would actually be smarter, for sure, but who and where? We are exchange students in Sweden, so we don't know who to contact... Do you have an idea of a manufacturer from anywhere in the world who would be pleased to help us by e-mail?

Once more, googling shoes manufacturer is easy but it's very difficult to find an e-mail address of someone who could help us... Most of the time, these informations are pretty confidential so why would they answer random students sending them e-mail?

Thanks again!

Hello,

I hope I'm in the good topic... I'm a student in Engineering and I'm working on a project about manufacturing high heels at the moment. In order to carry through this assignment, I would like to know some stuff like:

1) Of what are actually made high heels? I'm particularly in 2 types of high heels...

a) Classic wear high heel boots:

Stiletto heels:

I think that stiletto heels are made of a metal rod surrounded by polyamide. But I know nothing about the heel from a classical wear boot...

2) Do you have an idea of the manufacturing of these heels?

3) Do you know where I could find data about the number of stilleto heels made a year? The price of the heel? All these economic data...

If you have any tip, any information that could help me, please, feel free to tell me!

Thank you very much for your help!
