VR SOP Training for Footwear Manufacturing

Repeatable quality from uppers to final finish

Shoe lines mix craft and precision. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your cutting/skiving, stitching, lasting, outsole bonding, finishing and QC—so operators practise the right steps safely and consistently.

Typical challenges

• Upper build: stitch accuracy, tension, symmetry and component match.
• Lasting & bonding: heat/pressure/time windows and adhesive prep.
• Finishing: trimming, polishing, laces, inserts and presentation.
• Sizing & QC: fit checks, flex tests and cosmetic standards.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & CTQs: size curves, adhesives, dwell times and AQL.
2. Create scenarios: upper stitch, toe/heel lasting, sole press and final inspection.
3. Coach in VR: step prompts aligned to your workcards and checklists.
4. Assess: RFT, defect maps and retraining needs by station.

Benefits

• Fewer cosmetic rejects and returns.
• Consistent fit across lasts and sizes.
• Clear evidence for brand QA audits.

Why Spark

We train to your styles, lasts and finish standards—no generic modules.
