A method for generating a computerized three dimensional model of a shoe heel and converting that computerized shoe heel model into two dimensional flat patterns for cutting material that is useful to cover the breast and back surfaces of the heel. The method also lends itself to applying a table of values for entry into a computer to enable the creation of a family of heel sizes with minimum changes in the table of values.

Insole feeding apparatus for a molding press having an insole receiving cavity to receive insoles from a support structure that carries dual trays which hold insole supplies alternately positionable to allow insoles to be picked out of a tray and placed in the mold cavity. The mold press is provided with an insole kicker plate subject to positional adjustment in the cavity in accordance with an operator teach device capable of locating the kicker plate in the mold cavity for producing molded insoles having desired style and size characteristics. The apparatus is made to follow a desired method in which kicker plate adjustments can be stored in a computer memory for rendering the molding press capable of accommodating various insole and size production runs.
