ABSTRACT:
A shoe support (18') for use e.g. in a machine for operating progressively on side wall portions of a lasted shoe upper comprises a last pin (722') and a toe support (792) both of which are movable heightwise to bring a shoe supported thereby to a heel seat height datum and toe end height datum as determined respectively by a toe abutment (806) and a holddown (450') which engages the insole in the heel seat region of the shoe. Heel end centralising means (390) and toe end centralising means (822') are also provided. More particularly toe centralising fingers (822') are provided with collars (882) mounted for equidistant heightwise movement to engage the lasting marginal portions of the shoe in the forepart region and thus level the shoe bottom about the heel-to-toe line determined by the holddown and toe abutment. In addition the last pin can rock about a lengthwise axis and is locked in "rocked" position by a wedging system (862, 866). When the shoe has been properly located the last pin is urged to pivot toewardly thus to cause the last pin to "bind" on the last pin hole formed in the last and, by the counter-force supplied by the toe support (792), the shoe is thus securely clamped on the last pin and toe support.
