Abstract
A method of fixturing a shoe component from a block of suitable material by forming a first cavity in the block to expose a first surface of the component, applying a release agent to the first surface of the component, placing a body of a rigid material in the first cavity so as to extend over the entire first surface and into the surfaces of the block for adherence thereof to the block of material, repositioning the block, forming a cavity in the repositioned block to initiate the shaping of the shoe component, attaching the shoe component in its unfinished state to the body of rigid material, continuing the formation of the shoe component to completion to free it from connection with the block of material, and releasing the thus completed shoe component from the body of rigid material.
