Last, Shoe

Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The shoe last has a square toe, from which the height of the last increases toward the instep. Below the top is a through-hole. From the top of the last the heel curve extends to the seat. The seat's sides curve to form the waist and then widen to the joint before tapering to form the toe. The seat of the last is well used with nail holes along the outside of the last with clustered nail holes at the heel, waist, and toe.
