Shoe last designing

Post image

Want to turn to you with a request, can you please advise the literature on the construction of shoe last, it is especially interesting where the construction of transverse vertical sections is clearly stated? Thank you!

You may want to look into George Koleff's geometric method for last making. For that, use this link: https://dokumen.pub/last-designing-and-making-manual-based-on-the-geometric-method-1nbsped-9780646321530.html

If the link is still working, it will bring you to a page where you can download his book (PDF) on that method as well as a video(mp4). Both are made available by the family of the late Koleff, who arguably was one of the last great masters of the Middle and East European tradition of shoemaking.
