[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 231317, member: 2258"] I have my grandma's darning egg...only hers has a handle on it. but the wooden foot your referring to is probably what bootmakers, and shoe makers call a "last". Still to this day, if you have a pair of custom made boots made, they will take measurements of your foot at all areas, then take a blank last, and shave off areas and make it replicate your foot. If you...say, had a corn, on a toe, or bunions(sp)...they'll add a piece of leather on to the last at the exact spot...so when the boot is made, it's already got that allowance in there... Also a long time ago, shoe factories had shoe lasts that were used to form shoes on, I don't know about today's factories.....some lasts now are made of fiberglass, or teflon like material. Here ya go...pick one LOL [url=http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=wooden+shoe+last&category0=]http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dl ... category0=[/url] [/QUOTE]
