There is no lunch as such, if I’m very busy I make do with quick snacks, when I have time I go to the canteen and have a proper lunch.

Sergei Pavlov told AiF - Chuvashia about the peculiarities of a shoemaker’s work and why he is not offended when they call him that.

Maria Gracheva, “AiF” - Chuvashia”: How did you learn this craft?

Sergey Pavlov: As they say, life will teach you everything. In the 90s I worked at the Aggregate Plant. You understand, then no one had enough money for anything. A colleague invited me to work for his friend in a shoe production. I had no idea what to do, the main thing was that the salary they offered was five times more than what they paid at the factory. There I learned how to do major shoe repairs, then got into production making boots and shoes. Well, it took a while. After some time, having gained experience, I decided that I could work for myself - I got my hands on it.

- I have never met women in shoe repair. Or is this not a woman's business?

Why not? Russian women can learn anything. They fly into space. And they are great at repairing and making shoes. There are few female colleagues in our city, but we meet them in the store where we buy materials for repairs.

There are "nuances"

- Still, a shoemaker, a shoemaker, a shoemaker or a shoe repairman?

Many people are offended when they are called shoemakers. Supposedly it sounds undignified. And when they ask me about my job, I proudly say that I am a shoemaker. I don't see anything wrong with this. But the Russian folk saying “swears like a cobbler” and “drinks like a cobbler” is not about me. It is important to know your job well and communicate with people. In my business, the main flow of work is regular clients.

- Is it really always cheaper to repair shoes than to buy a new pair?

If the shoes are from the “Chinese consumer goods” series, of course, it is better to go buy new ones. And good shoes, as a rule, are only brought in for repairs after the second year of wear.

A true master of his craft will always have a job. Photo: From personal archive

- How many pairs of shoes pass through your hands a day?

On average, about 30 people contact me per day. Some will bring one pair, some will bring two. Of course, there is some seasonality. In the summer, for example, there is more time to drink tea than now.

- Do shoe owners often not return for their pair? Where do you put the “good”?

There are cases when people come back for their shoes after 1.5-2 years. Usually, of course, I keep these shoes for a year, then I give them to good hands. And sometimes it will lie in the garage for several years. Although usually good expensive shoes are not left for long.

Shoe pro

- What should a good master be like?

In any profession you need to be a good person. Another important thing I learned as a shoemaker was patience. I come across different clients, but I know my business well, I can explain what’s what calmly and clearly. The main thing is to love what you do. And I’ve been making shoes for 23 years.

-Can you shoe a flea?

Only if the flea is big (smiles). Of course, we don’t have jewelry work here, but sometimes they bring expensive boots with a hole, so we have to creatively approach the task, figure out how to quietly correct the situation.

- Do you meet people by their shoes?

In the first few years I paid a lot of attention. I even dreamed about shoes, honestly. Now it's just work. I used to sew shoes for myself, my wife and my mother-in-law. I'll go and buy it now. You need to make the right choice. Nowadays you can buy good shoes inexpensively.

According to GOST 23251 “Footwear. Terms and definitions”, types of footwear include boots, boots, pumps, sandals, slippers, slippers, ankle boots, low boots, boots, low shoes, sandals, dudes, moccasins, opankas, pantolets and tabis.

He cares about our comfort, health, convenience. Without it, we would not be able to literally fly every day in our favorite sneakers, which we bought about 5 years ago. He gave the opportunity to people with too large feet to have stylish, fashionable, modern shoes, and not to walk in slippers, because there were no shoes “to match” them in the store. He is caring, skillful, always learning, improving his skills to please everyone, so that everyone feels comfortable and comfortable in any situation, any day of the week, at any time. After all, thanks to him, we can always wear exactly the shoes that suit the situation and that we also like. Can you guess who we're talking about?

Of course, this is a shoemaker. A shoemaker is a craftsman who cares about you. A shoe repairman is a lifesaver in difficult times.
Don’t rush to throw away your favorite pair of shoes if the heel comes off, the sole is worn out, or the toe is worn out. The shoe repairman will always find a way out. He will offer you these types of work

Installation of heel or prophylaxis;
- shoe firmware;
- replacing or sewing in a zipper;
- stretching shoes by half a size;
- restoration of the varnish surface;
- painting shoes;
- replacement of the instep support.

Repairing shoes will always cost you less than buying a new pair. So the benefit here is obvious. Besides, you’ve already gotten used to your favorite sandals or boots and you feel so sorry to throw them away. The shoemaker will give you the opportunity to wear your favorite shoes again. He will do everything very quickly, reliably and efficiently. You will be able to walk in repaired boots or sandals for another season.

Shoemaker is the most creative and oldest profession. After all, shoes appeared a long time ago, and someone had to repair them. However, in Paleolithic times everyone was a shoemaker, because everyone made their own shoes from the skins of wild animals and other improvised means. This was much later, with the advent of wooden shoes, a shoemaker appeared in the East - a person who makes such shoes. Shoes were also made here from tree bark and palm leaves, turning them into runners (fibers). In Rus', the first craftsmen made bast shoes. So it will not be possible to accurately name the name of the first shoe maker. In the old days, everyone was a shoe craftsman.
At the present stage, every couturier who offers his own shoe models can be called a shoemaker. Steve Madden, Coby Levy, Christian Louboutin, Jane-Michelle Cazabat - these are the modern shoemakers who dictate modern shoe fashion. There are hundreds of such names.

Pupils of grade 4 - B visited one of the shoe repair shops. Nuikin Alexander Nikolaevich works there. He is a true master of his craft. Alexander Nikolaevich has been repairing shoes since 1990. It was no coincidence that he connected his life with this profession, because his great-grandfather also sewed shoes for young ladies for balls. About his work, Alexander Nikolaevich says: “All the work is sewing, hemming, hemming shoes, boots, shoes. Apply patches." But, watching the work of this master, we noticed that this work, despite its primitiveness, is creative and interesting. Requires perseverance, accuracy, responsibility. A highly qualified shoe repairman must know today's generally accepted methods of design and technology for sewing shoes, used in industry and in self-employment. He is never without work. After all, if you don’t create shoes, you always have to repair them.

PROVERBS AND SAYINGS

Shoemaker without shoes.

What kind of shoemaker would he be if he made all his boots on one last?

A tailor without trousers, a shoemaker without boots.

It’s a disaster if a shoemaker starts baking pies, and a cake maker starts making boots.

It is not difficult to obtain the simplest profession of a shoe repairman, but only a few become real masters. There are many vocational schools that offer to master this profession. Many students quickly begin to earn good money. During the learning process, students master theory and, most importantly, practice, since the schools have special workshops. After graduation, graduates have internships in shoe companies.
If we talk about individual tailoring, then a completely different level of skill is required from the shoemaker. This may require higher education, which can be obtained at one of the light industry institutes.

Nowadays, fashionable and beautiful shoes are made in factories with many large and complex machines. A modern shoemaker must have a good knowledge of the structure of such machines and be able to operate them. Therefore, he is no longer just a shoemaker, but an engineer. If you already know how to read, then while walking along the street, you read various signs. If you've seen a sign that says "Shoe Repair" in big letters, know that that's where the real shoemakers are hiding.

A shoemaker knows how to make not only new shoes, but also repair old ones, so that your feet don’t get tired while walking, don’t get wet in the rain, don’t freeze in the cold, don’t sweat in the heat... I also want the shoes to be beautiful. All this requires great skill from a shoemaker!

But, in general, shoemaking will not hurt the home craftsman. Of course, for this there must be suitable materials and tools in the house. For example, you need pieces of leather, rubber and felt, strong threads, and rubber glue. You need a very sharp knife to cut leather, rubber and felt. You also need an awl to pierce holes for the needle and thread. If you try, you can easily make warm slippers and a comfortable insole yourself at home, and perform simple repairs. It's good when the family has its own craftsmen!

HISTORY OF THE PROFESSIONAL SHOEMAKER

The history of shoes goes back more than one millennium, or rather begins approximately from the Upper Paleolithic, and maybe even earlier. If there were shoes, then there were those who made them. This means that the profession of a shoemaker is one of the most ancient professions.

The word "shoemaker" is now a little outdated. Today, in advertisements for job vacancies, “shoemaker” and “shoe repairman” are more common. However, the meaning of this profession does not change depending on the name. Throughout its long history, the profession of a shoemaker has changed extremely little - the main role in the shoe business is still played not by technology, but by the skill of the performer.

HOW TO BECOME A SHOEMAKER It is not difficult to obtain the simplest profession of a shoe repairman, but only a few become real masters.

“We always walk together

Similar as brothers

We're under the table at dinner,

And at night under the bed"

That's right, we're talking about shoes.

I invite you to an exhibition of shoes called “Different shoes are needed, all shoes are important.”

How many shoes do you think a person needs? By reasoning

(Children tell what shoes are needed and why)

That's right: simple, insulated boots, rubber boots,

ski shoes, flip flops, sandals, party shoes and so on.

We have to change clothes several times a day.

When we get out of bed in the morning, the first thing we do is look under the bed for indoor shoes.

Before going to school or work, we put on shoes, boots, boots.

At work, many people also change clothes, there may be special shoes,

for example boots for factory workers.

In the evening, getting ready for the theater, we put on beautiful shoes.

We are all accustomed to shoes. It seems so ordinary, as if the person has always had it.

But not always!

The most ordinary shoe has a very long and very interesting history.

(The teacher reads to the children “When did shoes appear?”)

Let's try how did primitive people walk on sharp stones without shoes?

(Children walk along the stone path with one naked leg.)

How do you feel? (prickly, painful, unpleasant, inconvenient).

And for a shod foot? (easy, free, confident)

Guys, who makes shoes? (shoemaker, shoemaker)

Yes, this profession appeared 5 thousand years ago. And year after year, shoemakers made more comfortable, more durable, more beautiful shoes. Among the shoemakers there were great masters of their craft. They made beautiful, elegant shoes from colored leather with shiny buckles and beautiful patterns.

Guys, pay attention to how beautiful the shoes have grown on the “miracle tree”.

Now let's play the game "reverse" with the racer.

There are boots - no boots

Boots - boot

Slippers - slippers

Flip-flops – flip-flops

Sandals – sandals

Shoes - shoes

Sandals - sandals

Slippers - slippers

Physical education lesson "Happy Legs"

For a long time, the most common material for making shoes was animal skin.

What valuable property does leather have?

That's right, it is soft, flexible, it can be stitched, punched, and glued.

Take a piece of skin and tell me what it is like?

(durable, soft, lightweight)

But the most valuable thing about it is that it “breathes”, i.e.

Passes air through its pores or openings. Therefore, in leather shoes, the foot feels good, does not get tired, and does not sweat. What other material can shoes be made from? (rubber, fur, felt, cloth)

Remember what shoes you wore on frosty days? (in felt boots)

What material are they made of? (from felt)

What properties does this material have? (dense, warm, water-permeable)

It is made from sheep's wool.

And if it gets warmer outside, what will we wear? (leather boots)

Leather boots or shoes are insulated with fur so that they can be worn even in cold weather.

But now streams and puddles have appeared, what then is on our feet? (rubber boots)

Guys, today we got acquainted with various shoes and the materials from which they are made.

At home, look at your family's shoes and tell us what weather they should be worn in and what they are made of!

And finally, we will play the game “Find Your Mate”

(children take off one shoe at a time and, blindfolded, look for their pair of shoes)
