Can’t think of any books but maybe reach out to Amara Hark-Weber. I know she did a bunch of research before making her child some shoes.Good morning SF community,
Can anyone recommend any good reads on kids lasts and shoemaking for kids? I know that some shoemakers made/make stuff for kids, but haven't been able to find anything useful in English or German literature nor research papers. As I plan to makes shoes/boots for my daughter, I wanted to know what the current state of research says. Asymmetrical last? But most contemporary kids shoes have symmetrical lasts nowadays. Leather (oak bark) insole, or something more flexible? For soles I would use crepe. Does anyone have any experiences or recommendations in general?
Much appreciated and lots of greetings

Maftei probably sold a few pairs to Chat GPT…or more likely it read your posts on this thread to come up with that letter to the wife 😂I know the few of us who are Maftei customers beat his drum pretty hard, but FWIW he does only take a few months.
