Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The last has an almond-shaped toe. From the toe the last gradually increases in height toward the instep. Following the instep the last plateaus and tapers in width and is curved at the heel. 7/16" below the top is a through-hole 9/32" in diameter. From the top the heel curve extends 2 1/2" to the last's seat. The sides of the seat are straight until they curve at the waist and grow to their widest at the joint before tapering to form the toe.
