Creating shoe lasts is an old craft. This artisanal knowledge can only be acquired through practice from one generation to the next: from the manual process of sculpting the material and through a deep knowledge of different types of lasts from all over the world.
Each prototype originates from a piece of wood that is shaped by skillful hands aiming to perfection. The shoe last then becomes a mold that will eventually be used for the industrial production.
“The first drawing of a shoe always starts
from the last and this can happen only
with a deep knowledge of the technique.”Pedro Barceló
