Shoes are very important for adventurers . However, novice cannot afford them due to them being expensive from high manufacturing costs .
That's what Sarah points out .
However, there is a strategy to keep manufacturing costs down .
"Is that so?"
"Ah"
In this world, shoes are custom made .
You order from the shoe craftsman, they shape the wood to your feet, and make adjustments if your feet hurt .
However, shoes have no distinction between left and right, there is no heel or arch, no hole to place shoe laces through and there is no such thing as a sole .
Compared to my shoes which are reproduced modern shoes, features and parts are overwhelmingly missing . Even if you trained a shoemaker for ten years it would not be enough .
Therefore, I order standard sized parts from separate leather craftsmen .
For assembly, assign specialized shoe craftsmen . The shoe also needs to be enclosed by a shoe craftsman .

Ordering parts and assembling them .
In my original world, it's called manufacturing .
We can increase productivity at the same time as protecting the secrets of its manufacturing .
And it is cheaper if more are made .
That is the greatness of the manufacturing industry .

For now, I have to arrange capital and meetings with suppliers .
If we manage to sell 100 shoes a year, then we can reduce the price to 1 large copper .
Negotiations with the shoe craftsman guild may be a bit tricky, but if you make it an exclusive shoe for adventurers, they will know the amount of people that will leave their business . (TN: Just how many guilds do they have?)
I should sign a contract before they become aware of the shoe's abnormalities .
While listening to the explanation of my plan up to this point . Sarah's eyes rounded .
