The database is ever increasing with so many shoe aficionado send their shoes to this maker to reverse engineering.

I bet for mainstream brands, you can get any size, any last now. No hassle, I mean, no more sending shoes to them.
@BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes @clee1982, should we make a spread sheet with the brand, style, last, size for the trees you want to make? Then I can send it to the maker to check which have already been made before? I'll also check if you can send existing trees to them for duplication if Huang and Pu in UK 8.5 have not been made by her before.
I assume you're on VPN, so google sheets works fine for you?

will start a PM

Thank you for the confirmation @ijustknow. Absolutely. Let's get a group PM going so we can sort out brands and sizing (@Eddie.Lin and @clee1982). Well at least get a list of what's available.

@BColl_Has_Too_Many_Shoes, the maker confirmed you can send existing trees to her for duplication. @clee1982 Isn't your wife Chinese and I assume she uses WeChat as well? Might be a good idea to involve her as I'll be quite busy starting next week? Or is it something you don't want her to find out? ;)

Very cool about sending trees for duplication! ??

pm'ed, feel free to add people

yea, and my wife start working in the US before weixin took off, so she only has wechat, i.e. the international version (so do I as I'm from Taiwan and never worked in mainland), so this ban would be kind annoying (I guess right now my real use is to have my in law harass me and check what xibao put on wechat vs. IG...)

and on a side note, even though I have only logged onto taobao and have actually never used it, now it says my account is compromised and can't login..., kind annoying...
