I have some important news for last customers of Global Footwear Solutions. I have accepted a position at Nike, Inc. as their Master
Last Maker. Therefore, the only services offered by Global Footwear Solutions from this point forward will be the supply of single pairs
of lasts to custom boot and shoe makers. While I still whole heartedly believe that the lightbeam ® 3D foot scanner is the best foot
scanning solution in the industry, I will no longer be selling the system. Please visit the
corpus.e website to obtain information on this
scanner. I will also no longer be developing new last styles, consulting or be involved in the day to day operations of Global Footwear
Solutions.

Also, due to the competitive conflicts involved, I will be pulling the only two athletic lasts I have from my list of available styles. I will also
be pulling any hiking boot or walking shoe lasts. All three of these categories represent a very small percentage of the lasts styles we
offer.

My wife, Juel will be taking over the custom last business at Global Footwear Solution. No other products and services will be offered
except for the POSSIBILITY that existing styles can be combined to offer other variations (one toe placed on another backpart, heel
height adjustments, etc.).  We are in the process of converting OLGA to an actual online store where you will be able to purchase your
lasts directly from the site using major credit cards or PayPal. For those who don’t know what OLGA is, this is a separate site where
you can search for last styles based on things like heel height, gender, toe style, footwear category, etc. Once you find a last you like,
you can then enter the measurements of your customer’s feet to find the best sizes on that style to consider. The system also tells you
how much you have to add or remove from the nine different fit points in order to match the foot you are fitting. Please use the Contact
Form below to register for OLGA which will give you access to our last library.

I appreciate the patience and loyalty so many of you have shown me over the years (especially those of you who go back to the days of
The Last Word). Please continue that patience as we make this transition, finalize the next version of OLGA, and as Juel becomes
more accustomed to the business. She has been to The Roundup with me, scanned feet, and listened to me babble about lasts for
ten years. Personally, I think that once you have worked with Juel you will probably be wishing we had been done this much sooner.

Thank you,

Bill Tippit, Sr.
