Heel Counter Placement & Initial Lasting – Structural Transition Phase

In the previous stage, the heel counter reinforcement was activated with solution to soften and shape it properly. This video documents the transition from structural preparation to active lasting.

Process Breakdown with Key Moments

00:00 – Adhesive is applied between the lining and the leather upper, creating the bonding surface for heel reinforcement.

00:08 – The softened heel counter is positioned precisely inside the heel structure, aligned carefully between lining and upper.

00:18 – Final alignment checks ensure correct height, center balance, and structural symmetry.

00:28 – The repaired woven section is examined once more to confirm structural stability before tension is applied.

00:40 – The upper is pulled onto the last. Controlled force begins shaping the rear structure.

00:52 – The first securing nails are driven in. This marks the transition from preparation to structural forming.

01:02 – The heel area is stabilized, defining rigidity, alignment accuracy, and long-term durability.

Why This Stage Is Critical

The heel counter controls rear-foot stability. Incorrect placement can cause imbalance. Improper bonding can weaken long-term durability.

The first nails lock the upper into position, setting the foundation for precise lasting and final form shaping.

All production is completed fully in-house inside our footwear workshop.

How Handmade Shoes Are Really Made — Step by Step Workshop Guide

How Handmade Shoes Are Really Made — Step by Step Workshop Guide Published from a real shoemaking workshop, not a studio or dropshipping setup. Handmade shoes are often described as “luxury” or “artisan,” but very few sources explain what that actually means in real workshop terms. This guide is written from hands-on shoemaking experience — explaining each core step clearly, without marketing language. 1. Material Selection: Leather Comes First Every quality handmade shoe starts with leather selection. This includes grain structure, thickness, flexibility, and long-term durability. The leather is chosen based on the shoe type — dress, casual, loafer, or boot — not aesthetics alone. 2. Pattern Cutting & Clicking Patterns are cut by hand or with precision tools, following the natural direction of the leather grain. Mistakes at this stage cannot be corrected later. This step defines balance, symmetry, and comfort. 3. Stitching the Upper The upper is stitched panel by ...

Custom Handmade Shoes — What to Know Before Ordering

Custom Handmade Shoes — What to Know Before Ordering Written from real workshop experience, not a retail showroom. Ordering custom handmade shoes is different from buying ready-made footwear. This guide explains what truly matters before placing an order — from fit to materials, timelines, and expectations. 1. Fit Comes Before Style Custom shoes start with measurements, not colors. Foot length, width, instep height, and walking habits matter more than design trends. A good maker will always ask about fit first. 2. Leather Quality Matters More Than Brand Names Leather is not just leather. Grain structure, tanning method, thickness, and flexibility determine how the shoe will age. Ask what type of leather is used and why it fits your purpose. 3. Construction Type Defines Longevity The way a shoe is built determines whether it can be repaired. Handmade shoes are designed to last — not to be replaced every season. Construction should always be discussed before ordering. ...
