As with women’s shoes, we will start from the lasts, constructing the base shell, and getting the pieces/patterns of the models.

The course begins with lasts, the analysis of proportions, and the knowledge of proportional measurements: the last is the first and most important component of a shoe. From the flattening of the last, the base shell is created to prepare the model, and finally the different pieces/patterns with all the technical details useful and necessary for prototyping.

I took the Online Hand and Digital Footwear Drawing and Footwear Collection Development courses over 15 weeks and learned a lot. The self-paced format included regular reviews with industry professionals, which helped me understand the footwear industry thoroughly. I now feel well-prepared for future opportunities.
