what r u using to cut it, cuz i will be doing this soon, and my sole is also very thin with designs on it...i have to be careful tell me the tool please. thanks
Please can u send me the last making basic techniques (formulas) and other aspects, making last from foot print to insole and insole to last making. manual methods.
must be very sharp knife many shoe soles you can not easily be removed that way. So I use a cast saw and work around the edge and finish with a sharp knife..
When you use a cast saw you lose about 1/16" to 1/8" automatically of material, you then have to grind the part you cut with the knife back to the depth of that lost material before you can start a build up. And if you are going to do something like a flare, wedge, or shank, where you have no need to add excess material, then the lost 1/8" of material becomes a bit significant in the grand scheme of thing. Just use a razor knife around the edge and a soling knife through.
@pbgd3 Most shoes that people want can not be easily cut with a soling knife alone. Its the combined materials they use in the manufacturing. The loss from using a cast saw can be compensated. I have been doing it for over five years patients and doctors are very happy with the results.
Yup you can do almost anything and make up for it. With many of the shoes patients want lifted I just say no. If its polyurethane with webbed crossing bits in the sole then I just would rather the patient come up with something with an eva midsole. New balances and such.
My comments relate more to things like modern depth footwear where the depth comes from how thin the forefoot is compared to the depth shoes that were on the market a few years ago, I would bandsaw straight through those.
