Hi,

New to composites and would like some advice

I'm looking to achieve something similar to Adam Hansen's 'Hanseeno' cycling shoes - here's a video with him talking about them: https://cyclingtips.com/2014/05/adam-hansens-custom-shoes/

I've ordered a started kit and some unidirectional sheets from easycomposites and I've got a vague idea where to start.

I'm most worried about keeping the uppers flexible enough (Hansen talks about using a different resin there for this reason), and joining different parts to make a whole if I construct the shoes in sections.

Thanks
Luke

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at a project like this. I've been researching making a foot mould 'last'.
There are quite a few nice guides on youtube for cycling and skate boots.
A few useful guides are Simmons speed skating casting instructions and How to make Speed Skates.
I've made two 'lasts' which I'm just finishing off (with lot of measurements...) before waxing.

Good luck all!
