摘要:
A footwear customization system (10) that includes a rearfoot and forefoot goniometer (12) for measuring rearfoot and forefoot alignment of a foot to provide rearfoot and forefoot alignment data. A customizable piece of footwear having a moldable, settable midsole is mounted on a shoe press (26), and the shoe press applies pressure to the midsole based on the rearfoot and forefoot alignment data in order to form a contour in the midsole. The contour provides alignment corrections based on the rearfoot and forefoot alignment data. A computer (22) running a footwear customization program can be interfaced to the rearfoot and forefoot goniometer and the shoe press to receive the rearfoot and forefoot alignment data from the rearfoot and forefoot goniometer and provide it to the shoe press. An injection apparatus (28) can be used to set the midsole of the piece of footwear so that the midsole retains the contour after the piece of footwear has been removed from the shoe press. Preferably, the rearfoot and forefoot alignment of the foot is measured while the foot is in a non-weight bearing position known as sub-talar neutral.

A footwear bipolar last, is adapted to self extending and to stress the shoe or the like being worked thereon. The coupling (333) provided between the two polar bodies (2, 2') of the shoe last (2, 333, 2') comprises at least a longitudinal guide (3) substantially axial which adjusts the shifting between the two components (2, 2') in a range comprised between 5 mm and 30 mm, keeping them in line and in the same direction and comprising a spring (30) which permanently and intensely forces the two polar bodies (2, 2') in the most mutually allowable far apart position.

A last (1, 101) for obtaining a shell (2) of a boot provided with a rigid sole (3) and, in the toe region (4), at least one metal plate (5a, 5b); the last (1, 101) comprises a main body (9) with which an insert (11, 111) is slideably associated, at the toe region (4), and can slide with respect to the main body (9) along a plane that is inclined by a different angle to the normal angle of extraction of the last (1, 101) from the shell (2); at least two bevel-free first pins (17a, 17b) protrude downward from the insert (11, 111) and interact selectively with the at least one metal plate (5a, 5b).

摘要:
A kit for use in preparing a last, i.e., an anatomical model of the human foot for use in the construction of custom footwear, as well as a method of preparing lasts, the lasts prepared by such a method, and the custom footwear constructed by the use of such lasts. The kit includes a hardenable, shell-forming fabric that can be conformed to the shape of the foot, hardened in its conformed shape, and removed from the foot in a manner that does not substantially destroy its conformed shape. The resultant shell, being sufficiently smooth and being of substantially the same size and shape as the foot, can be used directly as a positive model of the foot.
