Voice-off: “Boots are probably the oldest Spanish invention, as witnessed by numerous rock paintings since more than 15,000 years ago. Until not long ago, its use was reserved for the more affluent gentlemen, who were also the more and eating better - hence, the expression: "Put the Boots" -. Today, within the reach of all, they protect us from the cold and make the fashions and trends. Julia tells us ... "
Julia: “They are objects of desire, point of attention, some follow fashion, are made with different skin types, have different colors and their shapes are varied. Today we are going to visit the paradise of boots".
The Manager: “This is where the boots are born. Pedro Fito is taught at the factory since 1971, when he began, with the help of my father ...”
Julia (The presenter): “This one, that you have here”
Pedro Fito (The Chief Model-maker): “This what we have here, is what we call the boot loader, the front is what we call "The Shovel".
Julia: “And how do you get these pictures?”
Pedro Fito: “Normally, they can come from ideas that we capturing, from magazines or things Fashion”
Julia: “Then you draw on the cardboard, then cut and what creates here, then I must be reflected in the boot "
Pedro Fito; “On the boot”
Julia: “And what is the next step?”
The Manager: “Go to the store to find the materials”
Julia: “Javier, And how did it come to you to be a chief boatman?”
Javier Sendra (Manager): “Well, I was born here. I am the third generation of manufacturers of boots. I played with skins, playing in the scrap heap ..”
Julia: “What is for you skin?”
Javier: “The skin for me is… my life ... The skin is what smells better ...”
Julia: “Really?”
Javier: “That is beef”
Julia: “Yes, it smells well…and it is soft”
Javier: “It is used even olive oil, to cure it, to give it the softness ..........Look how it smells, Julia…”
Julia: “And which animal is this one?”
Javier: “That is an alligator…...That comes from Colombia and raised in hatcheries ... ; but there are more exotic things, like crocodile skin, stingray skin, snake skin ...”
Julia: “Stingray skin?!”
Voice-off: “The Stingray is a flattened fish having shaped of rhombus. The females, much appreciated by the textile industry, is characterized by its black color and with a light colored line that crosses”
Julia: “Stingray skin..?!, you also make boots with this one..!”
Another worker: “We do. But what happens is that it is very hard to work, because it is a very granular pile, thoughts about stone, and broken needles, but ... yes, you get to make also boots”
Julia: “But after, how do you care a skin like this one?”
The worker: “With any body lotion, just the same that we use ..., horse fat some ... any nutrient”
Julia: “What is this?”
The worker: “Look, this are ostrich legs”
Julia: “How….?!!!!”
The worker: “Yes, ostrich legs. This is the top”
Julia: “And this one?”
The worker: “This is a whole crocodile. It is a Fuscus crocodile”
Julia: “And what is this?”
The worker: “But this is a shark fin…Yes, a shark fin..”
Julia: “A shark fin….!”
The worker: “Another skins used ... In their home country, the meat is consumed and then the skin comes for us to make boots”
Julia: “Do these animals are breeding?”
The worker: “Exactly. They are wild animals, but they breed in captivity, especially for meat and to fashion and footwear”
Javier: “Do you remember the patterns which we have seen above with Pedro Fito? Therefore already have become, now Antonio takes the most to cut each different design of the boot loader”.
Julia: “Hello, Paco, How do you do?”
Paco: “But nothing, well, here we are at the cutting section, as Javier has said, with these patterns we put everything in Production .......... These are blades, two blades, cutting under pressure ... . This is the Die Cutting system”
Julia: “And then this what it is?”
Paco Pradas (The Factory Manager): “This ... we are already seeing a part of the shaft of the boot ..... let me, with the other part ... we would be forming the shaft of the boot”.
Julia: “Here we have then a part, you have to sew and to do a lot of things ... We continue to see .....?”
Paco: “We follow seeing steps”
Julia: “Come on”
………………………………
Julia: “And in these original designs, so what if for example you have to cut a snake, how we do?”
Paco: “But we bring all this to the cutting machine by computer”
………………………………..
Julia: “And then here we have the snake, the snake shape”
Paco: “In the blade, the shape of the snake”
Julia: “Yes, here it is seen”
…………….
Julia: “We already know how the skin is cut, but how get we that the boot takes this form, how is it done?”
Paco: “We get the form based on heat and cold”
Julia: “Then, first what we do?”
Paco: “First, Gerardo is going to give this piece heat”
Julia: “How he gives it heat, what this machine has?”
Paco: “This is a resistor, to 150 degrees, with a blade, with the form of the piece that is going out, as now you are seeing”
Julia: “The shape of the last”
Paco: “The shape of the last”
Julia: “How much time it has to receive the heat?"
Paco: “During some seconds…”
Julia: “Ah, it is already…, and then now..?, the cold”
Paco: “And now he brings it to the machine of cold”
Julia: “That is the same”
Paco: “That is the same…the only thing…Julia: “And how it gets the cold?”
Paco: “The cold is based on ice, frozen water”
Julia: “And is that into the machine?
Paco: “That is into the machine”
Julia: “How long does it take?”
Paco: “Also seconds”
Paco: “The contrast among heat and cold it does is keep the piece with that shape for days .... we would not have any problem…..When it has taken the form, we come to the last…and it falls perfectly”
Julia: “And we are going to see the next step”
Paco: “We are going to see the next step”
Julia: “Thank you, Gerardo”
…………………
Julia: “What has she doing?”
Paco: “What Angelita is doing is join all the pieces together in order to get make the complete boot up”
Julia: “It acquires the form….”
Paco: “Already complete, sewn the parts of the cane, with boot loader and everything, already complete, to move to the next section”
………………………………………………
Julia: “What is this machine doing?”
Paco: “This precisely embroidery, it is embroidering the canes with embroidery; we can mix eight colors in each cane “
Julia: “That is, this machine has done a drawing like this one”
Paco: “Like this one”
……………………………………..
Voice-off: “They are already sewn and decorated, but you will notice that these boots still await many steps as this slick, to over 16,000 rpm……. Let us go back to Julia, who is going to get the boots .... "
…………………..
Julia: “Paco, we already have the boot sewn, decorated, with its little drawing…And now how we start to build it on the base, on….. where we stand ...?"
Paco: “With this type of material…., we start buiding the sole, they are going to cut from here, here we cut with die, with blades……..”
Julia: “And this is what has the size”
Paco: “This is already what has the size, this is cut by size…………….., we have the result…………………… Antonio is putting a cardboard backing, so it has a rear, in order that the has enough strength………………………Now, we move it to the next position, where they are going to give a glue, all around the sole..”
Julia: “And where is he putting it?”
Paco: “He is getting it into a dryer, so that we can then apply the tape well”

Julia: “And Javier is here again….Look at what I have done….!, Is it right?”
Javier: “It is so right”
Julia: “Sure?”
Javier: “This is the oldest machine in the factory and it is the machine for empalmillar”
Voice-off: “The machine of empalmillar makes a sewn inside, holding the top skin of the boot to the insole”
Javier: “sewing with nylon, it is an inside seam, which is what gives it durability .... resistance to the construction of the boot”

Julia: “Let us see……Yes, It is already the shape ... and we have glued the sole”
Javier: “The 99 percent of the footwear would be completed. We, in order to make different our boots, we turn them to sewing on this machine. This machine is a jewel of mechanics ... easily it has 60 or 70 years and ... well, it is more expensive than my car ... the engine is like a Rolls Royce ..: the mechanics of this machine is very nice “
………
Javier: “And now we go to the desvirado”
Julia: “What is the desvirado?”

Julia: “Is this a milling cutter?”
Javier: “This is a milling cutter…, to 16.000 rpm..”
Julia: “That is..very very fast”
Javier: “Polishing the edge of the sole, wear, adjust….what is to give the shape of the boot to the sole”
Voice-off: “16.000 revolutions; i.e., that this milling cutter rotates at a similar speed to that of a Moto GP, which can reach a maximum of 17,000 rpm……Imagine which is the speed that it goes…”
