Kū'ai maika'i loa i nā kāma'a kāle'a ma waho o waho nā kāma'a kāle'a

ʻO kekahi mau manaʻo no ka ʻike ʻana i ka maikaʻi

No ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka kāmaʻa, pono mākou e nānā i nā hōʻailona waho a me loko. No ka mea e koi pinepine nā hōʻailona kūloko i ke kōkua o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mea kūʻai aku e loiloi i ka caliber o nā kāmaʻa e pili ana i ko lākou helehelena. ʻO ka hana a me ka maikaʻi o ka waiwai (me ka vamp, sole, a me ka lining) ka mea nui loa i ka wā e pili ana i ka nani. Hoʻopili ka hoʻokokoke ʻana i ka manaʻo, pinching, kaomi ʻana, a me ka nānā ʻike maka, akā hiki ke ana i ka nui.

ʻO ka mea mua e noʻonoʻo ai inā he'ōniʻoniʻo ka kuʻekuʻe wāwae me nā kāmaʻa ma keʻano, inā he haʻahaʻa a kiʻekiʻe paha. No nā kāmaʻa wahine me nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae hapa a i ʻole ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia mau mea ʻelua: Pono ka kuʻekuʻe wāwae, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, e hoʻopili paʻa ʻia i ka insole, ʻaʻole hiki ke liʻiliʻi ka pā lima ma mua o ka lalo o ka kuʻekuʻe wāwae, ʻaʻole pono ka kuʻekuʻe wāwae. ʻōniʻoniʻo i ka wā e koli ana mai kekahi ʻaoʻao a i kekahi ʻaoʻao.

E nānā mua i nā ʻāpana o ka insole, e like me kāna mau mea. E hoʻohana i ka ʻili maoli ke hiki. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, pono ʻoe e hoʻopaʻa paʻa i ke kiaʻi pūhaka me kou mau lima, e like me ka instep o nā kāmaʻa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana me ka neʻe ʻole. Inā ho'ololi ka kāma'a ma ka waha ma lalo o ka mana o kēia ikaika, 'o ia ho'i, 'a'ole i kūpono ka hana 'ana o ka kāma'a.

Inā ʻoe e kau i nā kāmaʻa ma kahi pālahalaha, pono lākou e noho paʻa koke. ʻO kekahi o nā koi koʻikoʻi no nā kāmaʻa kiʻekiʻe he kūpaʻa ikaika, kahi e hōʻike ai kēia mau kāmaʻa.
