The back height on this pattern has been deliberately kept lower than that on many present day training shoes to
avoid the risk of damaging the back of the ankle in the achilles tendon region.
1.
The first step is to draw round the mean forme. You will find the production of this particular training
shoe standard easier if you make a special mean forme, based on the inside rather the outside forme.
Note: instead of follwing the usual procedure of drawing round the outside forme and then laying the inside over
and pivoting it to follow the spring of the outside, the opposite is done; so that the outside forme is sprung down
deadened, to follow the inside. This will be of particular help when carrying out step 4.

from the crease line and at the top of the facing area, it is 1/ 8 (3 mm) from the creaese line. The line continues
passing through point A and on to B. The topline has been curved upwards between A and B to give the
appearence of a cut-away tab, but this is purely a design feature and may be omitted.
Note - on many trainers the back is raised into a full tab at point B, but this risks irritating the back of
the ankle in wear.

The back tab facing wich lies above the counter, should also be drawn. It must be of sufficient width
at its narrowest point, i.e. CP, to hide the zig-zagged backseam.

Note-. before cutting out, it is necessary to spring the font section of the collar. This can be
done as shown in the diagram. The total distance sprung down at the end of the collar is 5/16 (8 mm), but
this is done in two stages. Half the amountis sprung dpown from the first pivot point and the rest from
the sewcond one.
You should then finsh up with lines in the position of those marked new in the diagram.
The amount of springing down needeb will vary according to the nature of the collar material used and
the amount of foam padding inserted. As an alternative to springing, shorteting the collar can achieve
same effect in some cases.

a complex tongue, with sprung-on section, and separate lining and foam padding
Produccing patterns for a complex upper such as a basketball boot is not a job for a novice pattern cutter. If you
have not already done so it would be advisable to produce the trainer pattern before attempting this style. A mean
forme wich is based on the spring of the inside forme rather than the outside, should be used.

N.B. This type of standard with a straight back is only suitable for relatively low boots. Higher boots require
a curved back follwing the shape of the foot/ankle.

Before starting these patterns, mark a 5/ 16 (8 mm) cut-back section along the lasting edge in the areas where the

Cut the section out including marks for facings, outside counter and prickers for eyelets. For a more
economical pattern this section could be made as a single quarter with a zig-zagged backseam. This could
then be curved in at the bottom to follow the back of the shape of the last.

Also cut the Collar (upper section) and Back Facing in the same way, again adding and underlay of 5/ 16
