00:00Did you know that people in China harvest palm leaf sheaths to make shoe insoles?
00:04After being harvested, the sheaths are thoroughly washed to remove any dirt, then sun-dried
00:09to enhance their flexibility.
00:11Once they reach the ideal dryness, craftsmen carefully cut away the tough veins on both
00:16sides to make processing easier.
00:18Next, the sheaths are trimmed into evenly sized squares, tailored to fit different foot
00:24sizes.
00:25These pieces are stacked in four layers and sewn together using thick, tight, and even
00:30stitches to create flat, durable insoles.
00:33After sewing, the layered sheaths are pressed and molded into various sizes using a stamping
00:38machine.
00:39Finally, the edges are meticulously stitched to boost durability and improve their appearance.
00:45Insoles made from palm leaf sheaths are not only breathable and great at absorbing sweat,
00:50but they are also eco-friendly and provide a soft, comfortable feel when worn.
