Yep you have a few options. 1. Ebay often has auctions for really in-expensive lasts 2. You could buy new, at www.globalfootwearsolutions.com 3. You could send a cast of the foot you are designing for,to lastmakingschool.com and a member can make a last for you. for this to happen you must use either a fiberglass casting socks or rigid wrap plaster bandage ( you can get at the craft store) just make sure you cast them in a non wieght baring and wieght baring position at a exact 90 degree angle. that is two casts of each foot. these are hand made last. built to order. 4. You could learn to make lasts at lastmakingschool.com/ the intermediate course is a great course. if you are a custom footwear maker, it is the place to go and worth the price.
