Taken from the German firm Eduard Meier in Munich:
The right shoe is a banana shaped last (they call it peduform) while the left is a standard type last. They believe their last to be superior to others (they would, wouldn't they) and go on to explain why (in German only). http://www.edmeier.de/von_schuhen/peduform.html (their range of shoes is actually made by C&J) Traditionally the banana shaped last has been (and probably still is) most popular in Vienna and is the trademark of the most traditional Austrian firm Rudolf Scheer & Sons.
