What is a Shoe Last ?

 

 

" Shoe Last "

The solid form around which a shoe is molded...

The fit of a shoe depends on the design, shape and volume of the Shoe Last.

The " shoe last " must represent the anatomical information of the foot, at the same time giving the finished shoe a pleasing and fashionable appearance.

Each "shoe last " is designed for a particular heel height and toe shape.
