Some of our students have asked us for a recap video on how to last the upper of a basic high heel court shoe. So here it is!
Over the past decade, I've taught my shoemaking method to thousands of students from all over the world 🌍 As you might have guessed I am super passionate about home shoemaking and so happy to share what I know here on KZbin 😊
If you are wanting to dive a little deeper into the world of home shoemaking, my online Footwear Masterclass is one of the most popular shoemaking courses in the world. The course covers how to make shoes from scratch including heels, flats, boots, sneakers, sandals, and more. The thing that really sets this course apart from others is that it's specifically designed for total beginners and requires very little in the way of tools & equipment, there's even a bonus module on how to start your own shoe brand.
To make getting started even easier, this course comes with a FREE Shoemaking Starter Kit, delivered to your door, anywhere in the world! 🌍
We are a tight community and regularly limit our intake to ensure the best experience for our students - so if our enrolment is closed I would recommend you sign up for our FREE mini-course while you wait.
Happy Shoemaking

Hi Amanda, I would love to buy a pair of your lasts! Can you advise me how I select them, or perhaps make a video? Many thanks

[@lucygibson9756]

What's the glue you're using? I notice you're not worried about breathing it.

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

This is 'Aqualim 315' and is not toxic so is safe to use without extraction :)

[@lucygibson9756]

@@ICANMAKESHOES Thank you!

[@adriamirabelli4332]

Thank you so much for this! What brand of glue do you prefer for this step?

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

Renia, Aquilim 315 is our glue of choice for this step :)

[@alacanogmail]

Hello, would you tell me what glue you use, please?

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

Hey! 😃 In this video, we used water-based shoemaking glue which you can buy here: icanmakeshoes.com/collections/all-products/products/shoemaking-glue-water-based-200g?_pos=14&_fid=93ec10f71&_ss=c

[@godlysovereign3414]

Are the toe puffer and counter stiffeners used when making a sneaker as well?

[@mulpurialekhya8859]

Yes

[@giftedkicks]

If you don’t mind m asking what type of glue brand are you using ?

[@ICANMAKESHOES]

We use 2 different glues, 1 for the soles and the other glue for everything else :) They are both in our supply shop linked here with more information on their use: icanmakeshoes.com/product-category/supplies/

[@traceywilson0973]

How do you remove the shoe from the last if glued on ??? Thankyou

[@worksafe3441]

Hi Tracey. What you're seeing is a liner and an insole that are glued together over the last. No glue is used on the last. The tension from the material is what is holding the liner and upper to the last. When the last is "broken" it can then be removed with relative ease!
