About waterproof footwear, with outer soles and uppers of rubber or plastics, other than footwear incorporating a protective metal toe-cap

cpc code 2931 covers the production of waterproof footwear with outer soles and uppers made of rubber or plastics, excluding footwear with a protective metal toe-cap. This industry plays a crucial role in providing durable, weather-resistant footwear for a wide range of applications, from outdoor activities to industrial settings. As a key component of the broader 4520 Manufacture of footwear industry, the 2931 code contributes significantly to the global economy and the availability of essential protective equipment.

Production process

The production of waterproof footwear under cpc code 2931 typically involves a multi-step process. The first step is the molding or casting of the outer sole, often using vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic materials. The upper portion of the shoe is then constructed, either by cutting and stitching together pieces of rubber or plastic, or by directly molding the upper material. The two components are then joined together, often through the use of adhesives or other bonding techniques, to create the final waterproof footwear product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 2931 waterproof footwear include raw materials such as rubber, plastics, and various chemicals used in the molding and bonding processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as injection molding machines, cutting tools, and stitching equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of design, pattern making, and quality control, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 2931 is waterproof footwear, which can be used in a variety of applications, including outdoor recreation, industrial settings, and emergency services. These waterproof shoes may be consumed by industries such as 4520 Manufacture of footwear, 4641 Wholesale of textiles, clothing and footwear, and 4771 Retail sale of clothing, footwear and leather goods in specialized stores.
