@Aven Add your location to your profile.  According to your IP address you are in the Chicago, Illinois, 60666 area.

Hmmm  That's interesting. My IP must be lying to you.  I'm 1450 miles from Chicago.

Yes, IP address locations aren't always correct.  VPNs, Starlink, cell phone networks, etc. can be really misleading.  What is interesting is that the source LW uses yields a different location than IPAddress.com which says Walker, Louisiana, 70785, United States.  Only part LW got right was the country and that is helpful when looking for info that is more useful to users that are searching for help or suppliers.

@Plumejason you don't say where in the world you are thus its hard for us to direct you to places where you might get fixed asset supplies. If you are in the UK or Europe, go to antique or jumble shops. Not antique dealers though. Try the wee back-street 'antique' shops just about every tourist orientated town has numerous of

Hi,

I am in the UK and I have no idea about postage but I have about 1000 pairs of wooden shoe lasts, Dad was a cobbler and used to add bits to adapt to the foot, eg if instep needed to be higher.  What size do you need? 

Dad had a real talent and I have no idea how to make a shoe but happy to send a pair of lasts 

Kind Regards,

Pauline
