It's the last which makes the shoe
| Any shoe design has to be in line with the body, with its shape and its movements.
It has to take into account the nature of the ground as well as the weather and it must surely be functional and do justice to the material.
Ideally, it will not only give protection from the wet and the cold but also facilitate the movement of the foot and allow the skin to breathe.
To this end, it must achieve a perfect adjustment to the physique and medical condition of the foot.
Proper fit, walking comfort and the character of a shoe - all of these depend on the last which needs to be made by a professional.
There are great individual variations of a foot's proportions. These variations need to be taken into account for a shoe with a first-class fit.
Careful choice of materials makes sure that the shoes are firm and durable.
