Due to the irregular shape and natural stretchability of leather, combined with the curved patterns of shoe uppers designed to follow the contours of the foot, a significant amount of leather waste is generated during material preparation and layout. To address this, the shoe upper pieces are designed using geometric shapes and assembled through interlocking structures. This approach not only effectively reduces material waste but also allows for a variety of upper designs to be created from just a few fixed-shaped pieces. These can be adjusted and customized according to different foot shapes and the wearer's preferences. 由於皮革具有不規則的形狀與天然的延展性，加上鞋面版型因應腳部曲線所產生的弧線，導致在備料與排版過程中產生大量皮革廢料。 因此以幾何形狀設計鞋面版片，並透過卡榫結構進行組合。這種設計不僅可有效減少材料浪費，還能以少數幾片固定形狀的版片，組合出多樣化的鞋面造型，根據不同腳型與穿著者的喜好進行調整與變化。
