Abstract
For applying adhesive, for lasting shoes from the toe end at least over ball region of the shoe, an imprinter plate and nozzles are used, the region in which adhesive is applied by the imprinter plate extending from the toe end of the shoe and lying within, but being substantially smaller than, the region inwiped by the toe wiper plates. The nozzles, which can be guided by computer control means according to the particular style and size of shoe, are thus also used to apply adhesive to the heelward part of the region inwiped by the wiper plates as well as beyond such region. The invention is thus applicable to both combined toe and side lasting operations as well to extended forepart lasting over the ball region of the shoe.
