It is Possible to Manufacture Locally Carbon Fiber Soled Biking Shoes

The Ateneo Graduate School of Business Advantage

Last week, I bought a made in China but with Western brand biking shoes with carbon fiber soles.  It costs almost P5t.  However, we were discussing and I posted it in a biking blog that Mr. Boy Pepsi, the local maker of SIDI biking shoes (costs only Plt+) has better uppers for the local shoes.  The imported Italian made shoes crack under the harsh PH sunshine.

This morning, as I talked to a fellow biker, he understands the carbon fiber technology as his relative exports carbon fiber exhaust pipes to an ASEAN country.  He was able to repair a carbon fiber fork;  and he plans to make biking shoes with carbon fiber soles, however, he does not understand the upper part of the shoes.  So what can be done is he supplies the soles, Mr. Pepsi does the upper and assembles the shoes.  New business, new Philippine made product.
