ShoeSchool has created a Basic
Model Library for Designers, Students, Craftsmen, as a reference
guide for developing collections.
Industry Standard Shoe Lasts
are created for each shoe company and are not available on the
open market, to the general public.
Shoe last companies only sell
to manufacturers or people that can purchase a minimum of 5-10
pair of each size, in complete size runs, which can require an
order of 50-100 pair minimum.
This makes it unaffordable for
small companies or individuals to have access to Industry Standard
Shoe Lasts.
This has been the industry practice
since the 1950's. |
