Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The shoe last has a pointed toe, from which the last gradually increases in height toward the instep and plateaus at the top. Just below the top is a 3/16" diameter through-hole. From the top the heel curve extends for 2 5/8" to the seat. The seat sides are curved to form the waist before growing to its widest point at the joint and then tapering again to form the toe.
