'{{talkheader}} {{WikiProject Fashion|class=B|importance=top}} == Pumps link is wrong == The link to pumps does not point to anything shoe related, it points to the mechanical device pump.[[User:WFDobbs|WFDobbs]] ([[User talk:WFDobbs|talk]]) 19:21, 3 December 2008 (UTC) :Corrected. If you see mistakes like this again in the future, feel free to fix them yourself. —[[User:Kan8eDie|Kan8eDie]] ([[User talk:Kan8eDie|talk]]) ::I would have fixed it, if I had known the right link. I couldn't find it, I didn't realize they were also called court shoes.[[User:WFDobbs|WFDobbs]] ([[User talk:WFDobbs|talk]]) 03:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC) :::Sorry; point. It helps to have written half the article. It seems there is a rather muddled disambiguation page that should be cleaned up too, but I know nothing about women's shoes. I expect that [[pump (shoe)]] and [[court shoe]] should be merged, probably the latter into the former, but as these articles mainly interest women, I am not qualified to do that. —[[User:Kan8eDie|Kan8eDie]] ([[User talk:Kan8eDie|talk]]) 03:36, 4 December 2008 (UTC) hi!:) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/96.255.49.10|96.255.49.10]] ([[User talk:96.255.49.10|talk]]) 22:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->''' [[Category:Articles which may no longer need images|Shoe]] == Question: When did left/right soles became the norm? == A friend told me that until around the 1850th shoes were usually produced using symmetric soles for both feet. According to him, the left/right asymmetric layout we take for granted today only emerged in the 1850th, leveraging on advanced manufacturing techniques of the industrial revolution.

Sublimating the last? == Need help: where is the "apron" on a shoe and what can "sublimating the last" mean? I quote:<blockquote>The three models in the collection – Oxford, Derby and straight toe-cap Derby – are distinguished by their front apron. This surface – a traditional feature of lasted Moccasin construction – is used here to capture and reflect the light, while at the same time sublimating the shoe’s last.</blockquote> Best regards, --<font color="000066">[[User:CopperKettle|<b>C</b><font color="CC3300">opper</font><b>K</b><font color="CC0000">ettle</font>]]</font> 16:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC) == Custom shoes == Do shoes exist which are formed to the foot (which is pediatricly speaking much better) rather than where the foot is formed to the shoe sole.

However, they wouldn't do it the way you describe, because that is actually bad for the feet. The shape of the shoe should complement the shape of the foot, not copy it. For example, if you take a mould of the foot standing up on rubber, then the arches of the shoe will be too shallow. The two approaches are either through moulding the insole to the foot, but tweaking it my hand where it tends to flatten out, or, much better, making the whole shoe for the foot by having a last made for you. Last-making is a highly skilled job done manually from drafts of the foot, and wooden last which fits best is quite different in shape to the actual foot all over.— [[User:Kan8eDie|Kan8eDie]] ([[User talk:Kan8eDie|talk]]) 15:25, 7 August 2009 (UTC) == Why is this semi-protected == Why is this article semi-protected? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.79.10.114|67.79.10.114]] ([[User talk:67.79.10.114|talk]]) 23:06, 4 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->'
