Abstract: It is described a shoe-last selection method, comprising: providing a first set of digital data (SLS) representing a first shoe-last of a first shoe associated with a foot of a customer; trying-on a shoe by the customer and sending to a processing module a customer feedback information (OV-ALL; CONF-ZNE) defining a customer perception on the fitting quality of said shoe; processing the first digital data (SLS) on the basis of said customer feedback information (OV-ALL; CONF-ZNE) to alternatively generate: a second set of digital data (SLT) representing a second shoe-last better fitting said foot than the first shoe-last and a confirmation that said first shoe-last fits said foot.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method (200) of modifying a shoe-last, comprising: acquiring (201) current digital data representing a foot shape; providing (202) reference digital data representing a shoe-last shape to be modified; comparing (203) the current digital data with the reference digital data to design patch shapes and patch positions; providing a shoe-last corresponding to the reference digital data; producing (204) patch elements corresponding the patch shapes: and applying (204) the patch elements on the shoe-last in accordance with the patch positions obtaining a modified shoe-last. The production and the application of the patch elements on the shoe-last are performed by employing an additive manufacturing technique.
