Quote:What kind of shoe are you planning to make, the Mainz calceus or something else?

I'm currently gathering the required tools and materials and most importantly, I'm looking for a pair of wooden lasts that I can modify. Finding the lasts, in an American size 9, may prove to be the most difficult part.

In the mean time, I need to understand the construction. The problem that I am having with the top photo is that I am not sure what I am looking at. Is that the inside back or the bottom? There is a drawing in the back of the Mainz book showing the parts of the Mainz calceus. Can you point out which part is the stiffener?
