    Hi,I just saw your video of how to measure foot for bespoke, I was wondering, is it possible to 3D modeling a foot using Iphone that have lidar, so that you can bespoke a shoe remotely instead of measuring it by hand in person. THen I saw you touch the bones and I feel even remote 3D modeling is realistic I'm afraid that can not be as precise as touching the bones by hand.

    Not specifically I spend all my teaching time when I'm not actually making shoes, on the Two Year Pattenmakers Certificate in Bespoke Orthopaedic Footwear. There is how to make patterns and the uppers for a Derby shoe as part of that course.

    for the two instep measures, when you are using your fingers to displace part of the measurement are you having them the width of the inner measurement on the page, the outer measurement on the page, or the 3.5mm in from both sides of the outer measurement? (if any)

    It's my understanding there needs to be at least three points of contact, in order to keep shoes on. Here's my situation, I have an Achilles tendon injury on my right ankle and I would love to go hiking again. I was wondering do you think having a custom last made; would be a good idea, in order to create custom shoes/hiking boots & snickers without the full back heel?

  • @puebespuebes8589
    @puebespuebes858910 ай бұрын

    Just wait for the injury to heal and strenghten your legs/feet, no need for special shoes exept for exeptional case ! Like if you REALLY need to walk. In fact stay away from cushy shoes as much as you can when hiking or running if you are not injured !

    Thank you for a great video. I’m starting my first pair of shoes, custom made. Just wondering if you would alter the last if orthotics are used in the shoe? Also I love the metatarsal bump like in Birkenstock sandals. Can the sole or last be shaped to include this? I broke my ankle 6 years ago and have crazy hyper mobility in that foot/ankle which leads to tendinitis over and over. Add to that I wear 10eee size which is pretty rare for a woman. I’ve been living in men’s boots for years now. I’m want some good looking shoes!

    The way you explain things which are quite complex is amazing. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. I would appreciate it a lot if you could suggest books or articles on shoe making and especially on the correct way to make patterns and materials traditionally used such as glues or pastes. Thank you again and I hope you continue to make such nice videos.
