     2. Description of the Related Art 
     A detachable shoe with a vamp and a sole able to be zipped up has been shown in some patent documents several years ago. This detachable shoe allows the vamp and the sole of different types to be randomly arranged in pairs. Conveniently, consumers could simply purchase one sole for fitting different vamps. That is, consumers can have a wide choice on their shoes, and the cost for purchasing different pairs of shoes is accordingly lessened. Moreover, the vamp and the sole might be worn out differently. Herein, only the broken part has to be replaced, thereby preventing wastage. 
     However, it is uncommon to see this kind of detachable shoes in the market since in reality the detachable shoes are merely a concept that has not been executed. A basic requirement for the detachable shoes is that the upper zipper on the vamp has to be completely suited to the lower zipper on the sole, so that a single sole could be fitted to different vamps of the same size but of the different types. The basic requirement could be easily achieved while only a few detachable shoes are made. Nonetheless, if many detachable shoes are to be produced, the current technique for efficiently producing the detachable shoes is immature yet. Therefore, the existing detachable shoes need improvement, and the inventor endeavors to develop the usable method in accordance with the present invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Following embodiments are depicted along with Figures for reference. 
     A detachable zipper shoe as shown in  FIG. 2  comprises a vamp  1 , a sole  2 , and zippers  3 . The zippers  3  include an upper zipper  31  connected to the vamp  1  and a lower zipper  32  connected to the sole  2 . Commonly, several parts  11  are sewed to form the vamp  1 . The detachable zipper shoe made in accordance with the method of the present invention is shown by the flowchart in  FIG. 1 , comprising steps of: 
     I. Preparing Cardboards: 
     1) structure a shoe last: the shoe last is structured in accordance with a design chart and a designate size of the detachable shoe; 
     2) make cardboards: vamp cardboards, an inner sole cardboard, and an outsole cardboard are made in accordance with the shoe last; 
     3) draw four sets of marks for orientation: respectively draw four marks aligned with each other on the vamp cardboards, an upper zipper, a lower zipper, the inner sole cardboard, and the outsole cardboard, thereby avoiding displacement; wherein, afore marks are distributed on a front side, a back side, a left side, and a right side of the shoe; 
     II. Making a Vamp: 
     1) make a first cutting die: the first cutting die for cutting the vamp is made in accordance with the vamp cardboards; 
     2) cut: vamp parts are cut out from an integral vamp material via the first cutting die; 
     3) draw vamp marks on the vamp: correspondingly draw four vamp marks on the vamp parts in accordance with the four marks on the vamp cardboard, thereby drawing accordant sewing lines on each part of the vamp; 
     4) combine the vamp: combine every part of the vamp via the sewing lines for contributing to a complete vamp; the vamp should be carefully sewed along the sewing lines; otherwise the finished vamp would be resulted in the displacement and unable to be properly combined with the upper zipper or the sole; 
     5) combine the vamp with the upper zipper: the complete vamp and the upper zipper are combined according to the four vamp marks on the vamp and the four marks on the upper zipper, thereby combining the vamp with the upper zipper; afore marks have to be carefully aligned; 
     III. Making an Outsole: 
     1) form the outsole: the outsole is shaped in accordance with the outsole cardboard, and four outsole marks are drawn on the outsole cardboard after the outsole is shaped; 
     2) combine the outsole and the lower zipper: the shaped outsole is rinsed by a removing liquid, applied with cement, and applied with cement again after being dried; the lower zipper is equally rinsed by a removing liquid, applied with cement, and applied with cement again after being dried; accordingly, the outsole is combined to the lower zipper in accordance with the four outsole marks and the four marks on the lower zipper, thereby sewing appropriate lines on the outsole; 
     IV. Making an Inner Sole: 
     1) make a second cutting die: the second cutting die for cutting the inner sole is made in accordance with the inner sole cardboard; 
     2) cut: an inner sole material is cut out via the second cutting die, and four inner sole marks are drawn according to the inner sole cardboard so as to combine with the vamp; 
     3) combine the inner sole and the outsole: the inner sole is placed within a lining of the outsole, thereby allowing the inner sole and the outsole to be combined together by a cooperation of the four outsole marks and the four inner sole marks drawn on both of the inner soles and the outsole through a cold adhibiting method or vulcanization; 
     V. Fixing the Vamp: 
     the complete vamp and the complete outsole combined with the inner sole are zipped up through the zippers, whereby the shoe last is slipped therein, and the vamp is further fixed through a cold vulcanizing and a hot vulcanizing; the shoe last is taken out after the vamp being fixed, and an insole is embedded into the vamp to complete a combination of an integral shoe and to achieve a finished detachable shoe as shown in  FIG. 2 . 
     Accordingly, the vamp has to be combined and fixed, thereby detaching from the outsole so as to execute a repeating combining and fixing. Favorably, each vamp could be properly combined with the outsole. 
     Aforesaid method for making a detachable shoe utilizes four sets of marks distributed on the front side, the back side, the left side, and the right side of the shoe to combine the vamp, the zippers, the inner sole, and the outsole by means of the alignments of the marks. Therefore, the method avoids displacement on the shoe, so that a single sole could cooperate with vamps of different types but of the same size, which efficiently improves the productivity. 
     Nevertheless, afore method still has shortcomings as follows: 
     1) The shoe is in fact instable. Namely, the shoe is still subject to displacement. As a result, the toe of the shoe is easily unsymmetrical, so the method needs amendment. 
     2) The outsole and the lower zipper that are directly contact are subject to departure. This is because the outsole adopts rubber whose density is kind of low, and the lower zipper adopts common cloth or nylon. Obviously, the adopted materials are unsuited to each other. While the outsole and the lower zipper are sewn by sewing lines, perforations on the outsole easily start spoiling, which affects the using life of the shoe. While the outsole and the lower zipper are combined by cement, the different materials readily render the cement to come off, thereby equally affecting the using life of the shoe. 
     3) When the vamp is shaped, the vamp and the sole have to be heated for further shaping so as to ensure that they both could be combined through the upper zipper and the lower zipper. However, the shaped rubber outsole is unsuited for a further heating since the high temperature may affect the property of the rubber. As a result, in order to avoid affecting the quality of the outsole, the temperature has to be appropriately controlled in time of shaping the outsole. However, the insufficient temperature may result in a bad outsole or a distorted outsole. Even worse, the using life of this kind of outsole is short. 
       FIG. 3  shows a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The detachable zipper shoe is shown in  FIG. 4  comprising a vamp  1 , a sole  2 , and zippers  3  for connecting afore vamp  1  and sole  2 . The zippers  3  include an upper zipper  31  connected to the vamp  1 , and a lower zipper  32  connected to the sole  2 . Wherein, the sole  2  and the lower zipper  32  are connected through a piece of leather  4 . Several parts  11  are sewn to form the vamp  1 . 
     A method for manufacturing detachable zipper shoe as shown in  FIG. 3  comprises steps of: 
     I. Preparing Cardboards: 
     1) structure a shoe last: the shoe last is structured in accordance with a design chart and a designate size of the detachable shoe; 
     2) make cardboards: vamp cardboards, an inner sole cardboard, and an outsole cardboard are made in accordance with the shoe last; 
     3) draw six sets of marks for orientation: respectively draw six marks aligned with each other on the vamp cardboards, an upper zipper, a lower zipper, the inner sole cardboard, and the outsole cardboard; wherein, the marks are distributed on a front side, a back side, a left side, and a right side of the shoe, or are distributed on six sides including not only the four sides but start points and terminal points of the zippers; 
     II. Making a Vamp: 
     1) make a first cutting die: the first cutting die for cutting the vamp is made in accordance with the vamp cardboards, thereby drawing six fixing marks on the first cutting die; 
     2) cut: vamp parts are cut out from an integral vamp material via the first cutting die; 
     3) draw vamp marks on the vamp: correspondingly drawing six vamp marks on the vamp parts in accordance with the marks on the vamp cardboard, thereby drawing accordant sewing lines on each part of the vamp; 
     4) combine the vamp: combine every part of the vamp via the sewing lines for contributing to a complete vamp; otherwise the vamp would be resulted in the displacement and unable to be properly combined with the upper zipper or the sole; 
     III. Making a Main Plate and a Main Zipper: 
     1) make the main plate: in order to reduce the unavoidable inaccuracy between the design chart and the vamp, the present invention takes the vamp that is drawn by six marks and combined in accordance with afore method to repeatingly sketch the main plate provided with each part of the vamp; therefore, the main plate could be served as a model for making further vamp; 
     2) make the main zipper: a zipper is combined to the vamp that is formed in accordance with afore method, thereby drawing several marks on the zipper aligned with the vamp marks on the vamp; afore marks on the zipper could be alternatively drawn aligning with the marks on the main plate; accordingly, a set of main zippers that each of the zipper include six marks thereon are produced; 
     3) make a sub zipper: aforesaid main zipper allows its lower zipper and other upper zippers of the same size to previously zip up, thereby drawing proper marks in accordance with the main zipper on the lower zipper; equally, aforesaid main zipper also allows its upper zipper and other lower zippers of the same size to previously zip up, thereby drawing proper marks in accordance with the main zipper on the upper zipper; therefore, all the upper zippers and the lower zippers are respectively suited to the main zipper and fitted to each other; if the procedure that the upper zippers and the lower zippers should be respectively zipped up to the main zipper is omitted, large inaccuracy may be resulted on the zippers, which lets the lower zipper and the upper zipper of the same size be unsuited to each other. 
     IV. Making an Inner Sole: 
     1) make a second cutting die: the second cutting die for cutting the inner sole is made in accordance with the inner sole cardboard; 
     2) cut: an inner sole material is cut out via the second cutting die, and six inner sole marks are drawn according to the inner sole cardboard for combining with the vamp; 
     V. Making the Outsole: 
     the outsole is commonly made of rubber and shaped via a forming die; other suited material could be freely adopted to make the outsole; herein, six outsole marks are correspondingly drawn inside the outsole in time of making the outsole in the forming die; after the outsole is formed, a removing liquid is applied to rinse the outsole, and then the rinsed outsole is dried for cement; while the applied cement is dried on the outsole, a further cement should be applied thereto so as to achieve a complete forming; 
     VI. Combining the Vamp, the Inner Sole, and the Zipper: 
     1) combine the vamp and the upper zipper: the six vamp marks on the vamp and the six marks on the upper zipper are correspondingly disposed, allowing the vamp and the upper zipper to be combined; 
     2) combine the inner sole and the lower zipper: before combining the inner sole to the lower zipper, a piece of leather  4  that is of high density is provided; herein, the leather and the lower zipper are previously glued or sewn, so that the composite lower zipper could be further sewn to the inner sole; wherein, the six inner sole marks on the inner sole have to be aligned with the six marks on the lower zipper; 
     3) combine the vamp and the inner sole: the vamp and the inner sole are combined through zipping up the upper zipper and the lower zipper; 
     VII. Fixing the Vamp and Combining to the Outsole: 
     the vamp and the inner sole are combined, thereby slipping the shoe last to further fix the vamp through a cold and hot vulcanization; the fixed vamp is further combined to the outsole via the cold adhibiting method or the vulcanization for achieving a complete detachable shoe. 
     The detachable zipper shoe made in accordance with the method in the second preferred embodiment has the following advantages: 
     1) There are six sets of marks drawn on every portion of the shoe; the marks are distributed on the front side, the back side, the left side, the right side, the start points, and the terminal points of the shoe. These six sets of marks avoid displacement resulted from inaccuracy. Favorably, the toe part could perfectly fit the shoe, which enhances the stability thereof. 
     2) The lower zipper is previously sewn to a piece of leather that is of high density, and then the composite lower zipper is further combined to the outsole via cement. Wherein, this combination prevents the cement from coming off, and there is no suture formed on the outsole to affect the using life of the shoe. 
     3) The lower zipper is previously sewn to a piece of leather that is of high density. Herein, the composite lower zipper could be firstly combined to the inner sole, rather than the outsole. After the vamp is shaped, the inner sole and the vamp are zipped up via the lower zipper and the upper zipper. Thereby, the combined inner sole and the vamp are subjected to heating for shaping. Namely, when the outsole is prevented from heating, a higher temperature could be adopted for forming the vamp. Whereby, the highly-heated vamp would be more stable and not deformable, which concurrently enhances the using life of the shoe.
