content: Edited film: shows how wooden shoes can be made without the help of modern machinery. A tree trunk is cut into blocks which are cut down into smaller pieces. The craftsman uses an axe and later a knife to create the raw form of the shoe. After the inside foot measurements are worked out and fashioned, the outer surfaces of the shoe are smoothed and polished. A leather arch is inserted.
