The Eco-indicator 99 ecological index was used to do the life cycle assessment of the manufacturing process of cotton-padded shoes [leather winter shoes with cotton or fur padding] and the ʻnudeʼ shoes [ladies court shoe styles often with a pigskin lining]. The study was based on the total life cycle assessment (LCA) and the SimaPro software. The results showed that the basic skill stages of nude/court shoes and the vamp process of the same shoes had the greatest impact on the environment. The effect was 45.66 % and 52.05 %,respectively. The weighted and single value results for nude/court leather shoes and cotton-padded/winter shoes were concentrated on the effect on human health, reaching 78.62% and 79.01%, respectively. In addition, the cotton-padded/winter shoes had the largest contribution.
