SOME “TECHY TALK” FOR SHOES
        In our catalog descriptions we give the “last” and “pattern base” used for each style. This information is provided to help you evaluate potential fit characteristics when ordering.
        The foot-shaped form around which any shoe is built is called a “last”. Early lasts were carved from wood. Modern lasts are made of plastic compounds machined on computer-controlled lathes. Materials such as leather are formed around the last to produce a shoe of a specific size and width. Manufacturers make slight variations in lasts according to the types of shoes being produced and foot characteristics unique to the consumer being served. Our feet change as we age, becoming somewhat wider and fuller. The lasts used for shoes shown in this catalog were developed to fit the greatest number of adult feet as well as meet the comfort needs of dance. As a general rule, different styles built on the same last will provide comparable fit. For example, on page 6, styles April and Chere will both offer the fit characteristics of the “April” last.

        Each style of shoe is made from a specific “pattern base”. Several different styles may be made from the same pattern base. Variations in the addition of straps, overlays, buckles or other ornamentation will change the style, but the pattern base is still the same. In some cases a pattern base is used on different lasts. Again, generally speaking, the fit of a particular pattern base will remain consistent even though last and style may vary. Again on page 6, we indicate that styles April and Dotty are derived from pattern base “Chere”. Though a different last is used, both styles will offer fit attributes of the Chere pattern base.
        Through the intricacies of pattern design and materials used will result in some fit variations, awareness of the last and pattern base relationship to fit can be very helpful in your size and width selection.
