What is Heel Seat Lasting and Why Does It Matter?
Heel seat lasting is the process of firmly attaching the heel area of a shoe upper to the insole and shoe last to create a smooth, well-shaped heel contour. This step is crucial for:
-
Ensuring the structural integrity of the heel portion.
-
Improving aesthetic appeal by preventing wrinkles and creases.
-
Increasing wearer comfort by creating a smooth heel fit.
-
Enhancing the durability of the shoe during wear and tear.
In traditional manual lasting, this process is labor-intensive, inconsistent, and prone to errors such as improper adhesion or misalignment. The TH-727MA automates this essential step using precise cement application and lasting pressure to ensure perfect adhesion and heel shaping every time.
Fully Automatic Cementing and Lasting Operation
The TH-727MA integrates automatic adhesive application with lasting pressure in a synchronized operation cycle. This automation eliminates manual glue spreading, which is often uneven and messy, and replaces it with a controlled cementing system that applies the exact amount of adhesive precisely where needed.
-
Automatic glue dispensing nozzles.
-
Timed pressing cycle for optimal bonding.
-
Reduced cement waste and a cleaner working environment.
Advanced Mechanical Pressing System
Equipped with a multi-point pressing pad mechanism, the TH-727MA delivers uniform pressure over the heel seat, ensuring strong adhesion and consistent shaping without deforming the upper material.
-
High-precision pressing fingers shaped to heel contours.
-
Adjustable pressing pressure tailored to the shoe material.
-
Synchronized pressing action coordinated with cement application.
Intelligent Shoe Positioning and Clamping
Accurate positioning is vital for perfect lasting. The TH-727MA uses advanced sensors and mechanical clamps to hold the shoe securely in place, detecting and adjusting heel position automatically to guarantee precise alignment.
-
Automatic last clamp adjustment for various shoe sizes.
-
Optical or proximity sensors for heel seat detection.
-
Real-time positional feedback to the control system.
Multi-Material Compatibility
The machine supports a variety of materials commonly used in shoe uppers and insoles, including:
-
Genuine leather
-
Synthetic leather
-
Textile fabrics
-
EVA foam
-
Rubber and plastic composites
By adjusting cement volume and pressing parameters, the machine ensures reliable adhesion across these diverse materials.
Touchscreen Interface with Programmable Settings

-
Pre-set programs for different shoe styles and sizes.
-
Customizable cementing time, pressure, and glue volume.
-
Diagnostic tools and alerts for maintenance needs.
Robust Construction and Safety Features

Working Principle and Operation
Shoe Preparation and Placement
The shoe upper is pre-assembled on the last and positioned manually or automatically on the machine’s adjustable last clamp. The clamps gently hold the shoe in place without damaging delicate materials.
Automatic Adhesive Application
Once the shoe is secured, the machine activates the glue dispensing nozzles that apply a precise, uniform layer of cement along the heel seat area. The adhesive amount is programmable to suit different materials and shoe types.
Heel Seat Pressing
After cementing, the pressing pads descend and exert uniform hydraulic or pneumatic pressure across the heel seat. The pressing fingers are designed to mold the upper to the last contours perfectly, avoiding wrinkles or gaps.
Pressing Time Control
The pressure is held for a pre-set duration, allowing the adhesive to bond securely. This timed pressing guarantees strong adhesion and optimal shaping.
Release and Removal
After the pressing cycle completes, the pressing pads retract, the clamps loosen, and the shoe is removed either manually or automatically for the next production step.
