Heel Style
Heel heights are measured from the inside front of the heel’s bottom to where the heel meets the body of the shoe. It is of utmost importance to note that there is a cap at the bottom of every heel, which adds 0.2 inches to the total height of the heel as shown below.

Cushioning
Single Cushioning:
The Single Padding is made of EVA foam, whose main physical features include: Shock absorption, lightness, waterproofness, and memory – which allows it to recover its original form from varying degrees. Also, the Single Padding is 3 millimeters thick, so it offers comfort to those who look for regular shoes and have no feet-related problems.
Double Standard Cushioning:
Designed for everyday use, it is perfect for walking, dancing, and casual/light hiking.
It possesses a light-weighted, medium-density molded EVA base for maximum support and superior comfort, which helps maintain correct foot positioning.
- Offers increased shock absorption and energy return through heel-strike phases.
Orthopedic Cushion:
Absorbs shock and reduces friction to ease ball-of-foot pain and help prevent callus development. Its soft, double-layer foam pad stays securely in place.
Dynamically adapts to your foot with each step, and allows your feet to function more naturally so that you can enjoy the new standard of orthopedic cushioning.
- This superior technology flexes inward with every step, creating a cupping action that cradles the fat pad of your heel for maximum cushioning.
Shoes Last
What is a shoes last?
It is the solid form around which a shoe is molded…
The fit of a shoe depends on the design, shape, and volume of the Shoe Last. The Shoe Last must represent the anatomical information of the foot, while at the same time giving the finished shoe a pleasing and fashionable appearance. Traditionally, Shoe Lasts are made of hardwoods such as Maple or Beech. However, modern day Shoe Lasts are made of high density plastics that are 100% recyclable.
Each Shoe Last is designed for a particular heel height, toe shape, and type of footwear. FOR EACH SHOE SIZE IT IS NECESSARY TO MAKE A PAIR OF LASTS, AND THE SAME APPLIES FOR THE WIDHT AND HEIGHT. So if, for instance, you want to have shoes with different toe shapes, then it is necessary to create more than one pair of Shoe Lasts.
A proper fitting pair of Shoe Lasts is a solid investment, and the first step towards creating proper fitting and fashionable footwear.
