"Opening with a sequence that shows how children and grown-ups abuse footwear, the film then pictures a typical Canadian shoe factory. The camera details the shoemaking process from the selection of the leather through several of the painstaking operations in crafting a shoe to the finished product. At every stage the care and craftmanship demamded are pointed up and explained. Also available in a French version."

"L'élégant escarpin de Madame ou le soulier plus solide de Monsieur demande, de l'ouvrier en chaussure, le même soin et la même précision. Il est très intéressant d'observer ici le travail que comporte la fabrication d'une paire de souliers."
