Members Joe D Posted April 5, 2015 Members Report Posted April 5, 2015 Hi Everyone, I am making my first pair of shoes, following Andrew Wrigley's YouTube guide and using a pair of used lasts off Ebay. The lasts come with a metal plate on the heel, as it seems many lasts two. I am now at the point where I am lasting the upper, and am running into a problem. The metal plate is preventing me from nailing the heel into the last. So two questions. First, what is the metal plate there for? Second, should I be removing it before lasting the upper? Thanks!

electrathon Posted April 5, 2015 Report Posted April 5, 2015 I believe the plates are for machine lasting. Most people pull the plates off for hand lasting. Quote
