We’ve been hard at work getting our matching component methods ironed out and are pleased to announce that orders are starting to get shipped out. The approach is slightly different than when we launched our first matching component some time ago, so I thought I would provide a bit of […]

The software we use for designing shoe lasts is actually our own creation. What’s unique about it is the fully parametric approach. So while other shoe last software methods rely on scanned data, ours is based entirely on parameters and mathematical equations. This makes for a much more scientific approach […]
We’ve heard from many shoemakers that finding components to match particular shoe lasts is a major challenge. It’s our ambition to make it simple. So we’re pleased to announce the arrival of our first matching component, a Classic Platform! It works with all of our medium heel height shoe lasts […]
Capturing foot geometry is an essential step when ordering bespoke shoe lasts from us. We can accept both hand drawn tracings as well as digital models. Usually we receive the former, given most of our customers are small scale shoemakers without the volume to justify expensive and complex scanning systems. […]
This update has been a while in the making but is finally here. It is now possible to select any shoe last from our collection, choose a size and width, and check the corresponding measurements. And not just length and ball width, but a fairly comprehensive list, including heel height. […]
After some requests, we’ve gone ahead and developed a zero drop shoe last for making minimalist and barefoot shoes. The thinking behind minimalist and barefoot shoes is that humans evolved to ambulate unshod, and messing with our already optimized biomechanics is unwise. But kinematics aside, no one can argue against […]
We’ve been hard at work filling orders and adding new services and features, and we thought we’d take this opportunity to give you all a general update. Levels of Shoe Last Customization Perhaps the best thing about 3D printing shoe lasts on demand is that it makes a high degree […]
