Abstract (en)
An orthopaedic footwear last has a back cone section (26) that is sculpted to define a well-fitted back portion of a shoe. The back cone has a wide seat (25) and tapers to an elongate narrow neck (27). The forefoot section has a curvature from rear to front that provides a natural rocker. An orthopaedic shoe constructed on such a last provides stabilisation at the heel of the foot and allows for even pressure distribution at the forefoot. Controlling the heel by a well-fitted design prevents migration of the forefoot into the toe box during the gait cycle and allows a greater angle of toe spring and roll. A last board is provided with an anterior shock-absorbing layer.
