Ur baksidestexten: A simplified, stylish design and high quality are the characteristics of the Finnish shoe. Add technological know-how, education, product planning and target group marketing and you have the keys to competition in today's and tomorrow's shoe market. Well heeled tells the story of Finnish shoe industry, describing the features of Finnish industrial shoes. This book offers the first comprehensive account of the subject. Arthur Sommer, the treasurer of the Finlayson textile factory, began manufacturing shoes in 1875. New shoe factories were rapidly established during the 1900s, with the city of Tampere first serving as a shoe centre, and then Orivesi and Kankaapää. Although tough international competition and the recession years put an end to many shoe factories during the 1980s and 1990s, Finland is still the biggest manufacturer of shoes in Scandinavia.
