Last - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (230 words)
In shoemaking, a last is a rounded oblong block used to approximate the form of the human foot used by a cobbler to help make or mend shoes.
Lasts were traditionally made of wood but are now normally made from blocks of plastic, milled using CNC machines.
Lasts are made from soft materials such as wood and plastic because they need to be able to have small nails (called lasting tacs) hammered into them to hold parts of the shoe in place during manufacture and then removed.
