A beginner’s guide to the fundamental techniques of shoemaking. Do you want to learn how to make shoe patterns?

Footwear Pattern Making and Last Design will show you how lasts are made, the shoe last design process, the hidden geometry of lasts, special features, functions, and size grading principles.

More than 200 color photos illustrate the patternmaking process. See and compare sample patterns for joggers, hi-top sneakers, high-heels, and many other shoes. Learn how to make a sneaker forme, patternmaking procedures, computer-aided design software for pattern making, and shoe pattern grading. Why is a shoe last shaped that way?
