Explanation and Considerations:
- Flat belt length corresponds to the length required to hold the shoe securely on machinery, conveyors, or jigs during manufacturing.
- Recommended ranges provide flexibility for variations in manufacturing processes.
- Adjust length slightly based on material thickness, belt elasticity, and specific manufacturing methods.
- Belt lengths typically increase by 2 cm increments per full shoe size increase.
This table covers common shoe sizes and belt lengths but can be scaled accordingly for other sizes or specific applications.
