An apparatus for buffing a shoe part includes a housing adapted to be articulated around at least a portion of the footwear part. A rotating spindle is positioned in the housing and has a buffing surface for engagement with the footwear part. A carriage is slideably connected to the housing and holds the spindle such that the buffing surface can be moved closer to and further away from the footwear part. An actuator is in the housing and in contact with the carriage. The actuator applies force to the carriage to increase the force of the buffing surface onto the footwear part. A biasing member is in the housing and in contact with the carriage. The biasing member exerts force onto the carriage in a direction opposite the force exerted by the actuator.

Buffing of a footwear component allows for an alteration of the component surface to achieve an intended surface for aesthetics and/or manufacturing purposes. The buffing is performed in a system having a vision module, a sidewall buffing module, an up surface buffing module, and a down surface buffing module. Each of the buffing modules are adapted for the unique shape and sizes of a footwear component to effectively and automatically buff the footwear component.

A shoe making method includes adhesion of an outsole and a midsole, and adhesion of a sole and a vamp. When the outsole and the midsole are attached, an upper adhesion surface of the outsole is processed by coating absorbent and by spraying powder adhesive, while a lower adhesion surface of the midsole is processed by spraying two-in-one primer, to achieve a one-side cementing. When the sole and the vamp are attached, an upper surface of the sole is processed by coating absorbent and by spraying powder adhesive, while a lower adhesion surface of the vamp is processed by spraying two-in-one primer, to achieve a one-side cementing. The powder adhesive is uncharged powder adhesive which is directly sprayed by a machine, without needing static attachment. The two-in-one primer is made of reinforcer and glue.
