The cobbler’s shoe mold, also known as a shoe last, has played a crucial role in shoemaking for centuries. These forms, traditionally made of wood, metal, or plastic, were used by cobblers to shape and construct shoes to specific sizes and styles.
The Industrial Revolution (late 18th–19th century) transformed shoemaking from a handcraft into a large-scale industry. The development of standardized sizing in the mid-19th century meant that lasts had to be more uniform, making mass production possible.
Cobbler’s shoe molds from this period were typically made of hardwood (such as beech or maple) and came in different sizes to accommodate mass shoemaking.
Hinged lasts were introduced, allowing shoes to be removed from the mold more easily. By the 20th century, materials like metal and plastic began replacing wooden lasts in large-scale factories.
