The "Model by Manufacturer" syntax is a bit difficult to grasp the first time you use the site; and even then there's the risk of your entry being rejected because of a typo or spelling conventions (Church's vs Church vs Churchs; Alfred Sargent vs Alfred Sergant, etc) - perhaps the manufacturers could be selected from a drop down menu and just the model name entered manually.
Naming manufacturer seperately from model

If the model name is in the database, a drop-down menu already opens, from which you can select the model and the maker. However, I'll think about it.
It would rock if others could comment on the issue, too!

"perhaps the manufacturers could be selected from a drop down menu" yes please!

OK, we'll switch back to the first method, using two fields for name and maker. It may take a few days, though.
Do I understand correctly, this should be used for both shoe models and shoes lasts?

"Do I understand correctly, this should be used for both shoe models and shoes lasts?"
unless you can link the last field to the manufacturer.
Maybe Manufacturer (drop down), model (drop-down +option to add new), last (drop-down + option to add new)?

@ ManofKent: Unfortunately, I can't link it.
For example, Ralph Lauren shoes are sometimes build on Crockett & Jones or Edward Green lasts, Rider Boots are build using, IIRC, Martegani lasts, etc.
Unless I have precise information about that, I need both fields to have a manufacturer.
