In the past, Taiwan had thousands of shoe factories and tens of thousands of shoe industry workers. The skilled shoemakers' every stitch and thread wove the most glorious era of Taiwan's shoe-making kingdom. In response to labor costs and internationalization trends, Taiwan's shoe industry shifted towards globalization. When the Shoe Technology Center was first established, its mission was to assist Taiwan's shoe industry in its transformation and upgrading, moving towards technological R&D and creative value-added, enhancing Taiwan's competitive edge on the global stage. Over the years, the Shoe Technology Center has focused on the shoe industry, starting from technical expertise and incorporating "humanized" care and thinking. By applying aesthetic design, shoes have taken on more fashionable forms. The center has also integrated footwear medicine and technology to help more people find shoes that are uniquely suited to them. Our goal is to enable people to move, move well, and move faster. Now, we are committed to preserving Taiwan's shoe industry culture, nurturing talent, and promoting services with passion, diligence, and sincerity. We hope to educate more people about Taiwan's shoe industry and inject the energy of a sightseeing factory into the industry. To achieve this, we have established the "Shoe Bao Sightseeing Factory," which is the only factory in Taiwan that focuses on traditional shoe-making and combines modern high-tech innovative design and R&D technology. It offers a fun and creative experience that combines education, sightseeing, and recreation.
