Waisted_Giraffe Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 oh yeah and these in their list of other items are even better. http://cgi.ebay.com/Womans-Extreme-Heel-Wooden-Shoe-Lasts-Sz-W9-7-Heel_W0QQitemZ110374904642QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b2db6342 Shame they are quite so much; would use as art object as well as trying to make a pair
manoleat Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Ridiculous pricing, even if they are from the workshop of Solanj.
pata Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I guess there will be a reason they cannot sell them since a year or so
barney15c Posted April 14, 2010 Author Posted April 14, 2010 Ridiculous pricing, even if they are from the workshop of Solanj. Just as a matter of interest, 'how much' would a last of this type cost to make, maybe one of our shoemaking forum members could enlighten us. In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king!!!
manoleat Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 A last made to order even with this extreme style would cost less than half of the price. I ordered a pair of lasts to my specifications from a factory and paid around 60,-€.
