    Love, love, love! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing. Did you use a cowboy boot last or a shoe last?

      Actually, I used the prototype of a last I’m developing for this style of shoe. I made myself one pair on a straight cowboy boot last and realized it needed some modifications. The new last is a cowboy boot last in the front but I’ve altered the heel and sides of the cone to become a shoe last, so it fits correctly in the heel.
