Description

Updates:

The sizing of this climbing shoe last has been updated based on customer experiences with resoling. It is now undersized by 2.5 US sizes when compared to conventional shoe lasts. The update also includes some minor design changes.

This physical version of this shoe last now comes with fixed joint connection between the back and front parts, as in it does not open. If you need it to open, this can be selected in the Joint Type section of the ordering form.

By default, this shoe last now comes with medium camber and medium asymmetry (previously the default was high camber and medium asymmetry, and still is for the static and parametric digital files). Other variations can be selected in the last section of the ordering form. The medium camber variation has half the heel height and toe spring as the high camber variation.

What makes climbing shoe lasts unique is the higher degree of toe box asymmetry and also the cambered toe (negative toe spring or positive downturn) which is combined with some heel height. This puts the foot in a position best suited for scaling rock walls.

3D Printed Men's Climbing Shoe Lasts for Resoling Climbing Shoes — Medium Asymmetry and high camber men’s climbing shoe lasts

The 3DShoemaker climbing shoe last was originally intended for constructing climbing shoes. However, it can also be used for resoling climbing shoes. When using it for resoling, you’ll want to make sure that your are ordering the correct size as they are 3D printed on demand and so cannot be returned. It is helpful to choose the option to ‘show measurements’ so you can see the last bottom length and compare that to the climbing shoe bottom length (material thicknesses have to be accounted for). Additionally, you can print the shoe last bottom pattern (insole pattern) for comparison.

Some climbing shoes are made with shoe lasts with foot shaped bottoms rather than a conventional flatter bottom. This option can be selected in the design adjustments section of the ordering form. Do note this will affect girth measurements.

Unlike most shoe lasts, climbing shoe lasts typically do not require a hinge to be removed from the shoe. Rather they can just be a jointless shoe last. This can be selected in the ‘Joint Type’ section of the ordering form. Note that a partition between the front and back parts of the climbing shoe last will still exist as this helps facilitate 3D printing without support material.

The original design size is a US men’s 5.5D (this is the updated sizing).
