Italian term or phrase: Modello base di scarpa
Buongiorno,

sto traducendo delle istruzioni per realizzare un calco dei piedi e procedere poi alla creazione di scarpe su misura.

Tra le indicazioni compare:

Scegli il tuo modello base di scarpa preferito e personalizzalo.

Ho trovato in un glossario proz "grading model" per modello base, ma non essendoci contesto o altro vorrei ricevere o meno una conferma.

Si potrebbe dire: choose your favourite shoe grading model/pattern and customize it?

Grazie mille per l'aiuto

English translation:base model
Explanation:

on customisable running shoes
“Each base model can be adjusted in 108 different ways: the big advantage of that is the fact that, if you do have a left foot that works differently from the right, we can amend the shoe based on exactly what your biomechanical needs are - and create a left and a right shoe just for you.”

New York’s Project Shoe starts you off with 12 different base model shoes — including loafers, ankle boots, flat & heeled oxfords, wedges, and several different types of high heels.

I think it sounds more natural without "shoe" especially if you already have "favourite". Plus there's no risk of ambiguity as it's all about shoes anyway !

Alternatively, you could switch things around and use "base model shoe" making "shoe" the head noun (see my second reference)

Asker: Hi Heather and thank you for your help. What about a shoe base model? It's a mixture of your suggestion and JudyC's :)

Bespoke models


Explanation:
The feet of the client are first drawn and measured. The client can then choose among the existing Bespoke models
http://www.aubercy.com/en/bespoke-by-aubercy/

The client can then choose among the existing Bespoke models, among the designs which have embodied the style of our house since its creation, he can of course modify them or indeed create an exclusive model, he can express ideas and desires and define specifications where everything is possible. The client chooses the leatherwear from which only one pair will be cut, his pair. Then we realize the trial fitting and in the end, the final pair which will be entirely handmade.

shoe last


Explanation:
Not too sure what they mean here, but they could be talking about a shoe last, which is the foot-shaped form on which a shoe is made.

Asker: Thank you Judyc. I've just asked Heather if we can say a shoe base model, which is a mixture of your solution and Heather's.
