Lasting pliers are a specialized hand tool used in shoemaking, orthopedic footwear, and leatherwork to pull and stretch upper materials tightly over a last during the lasting process. Designed for precision and control, these pliers ensure that leather, fabric, or synthetic uppers conform smoothly to the contours of the last, eliminating wrinkles and securing a perfect fit before tacking or stapling.
