Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The shoe last has a round toe, from which the height of the last increases toward the instep and then plateaus at the top. Below the top there is a through-hole 1/4" in diameter. From the top the heel curve extends 2 1/8" to the seat. The sides of the seat are curved to form the waist and then widen to the joint before it tapers to the toe. There are numerous nail holes on the seat that are concentrated along the seat's sides.
