Footwear design consultancy

 

CTC’s footwear experts can work with you on all the phases of the footwear design process and also on the last, the creation of prototypes or the analysis of your product.

 

Shoe last design, modification and creation

Do you have a last that needs adjusting or a new last to create? You can rely on our experts to bring your project to life.

From last digitisation to digital machining and 3D design, CTC brings its expertise and state-of-the-art equipment to the table to give your ideas concrete form.

Footwear lasts

 

Shoe last check and analysis

The shoe last ensures about 60% of the fit of your products. It is therefore essential to know and manage the lasts used for your productions.

CTC can check and analyse the dimensions and geometries of your lasts to validate or optimise them. Sometimes, it takes just a few modifications of the last to turn an “average” product into one that consumers will love and buy!

Collection reviews and product analysis

Are you looking to analyse prototypes from your suppliers, optimise them or make the appropriate qualitative modifications?

CTC can come to your premises to look at the products with a technical perspective. The materials, construction and fit will be analysed with your development and quality teams.

At the end of the day, this technical discussion will enable you to make informed comments and request the necessary changes to optimise your products.

 

Development of a sample panel

Physical testing remains the most reliable method to guarantee the correct fit of a product. But for that you need to have fit models on hand with the average foot size of your customers.

CTC offers the possibility of measuring your employees’ feet to determine and find the right people for the fit tests.

We can also directly measure customers in shops, which will help you better identify your clientele’s average foot size.

Fit tests

You have developed some new products and now need an opinion on how well they fit?

CTC offers a “shop”-type testing service with testers with standard-sized French feet. This results in a list of positive and negative points regarding the fit, with suggestions on how to modify or improve the product’s construction.
