A versatile shoe last

The shoe last is the anchor of design. It imparts its curves, lines and shape onto the leather upper wrapped around it.

 

The chosen house last fits a wide variety of feet and is suitable for men or women. It is designed with a narrow heel for grip, wider forefoot for comfort, moderate instep for support.

Balanced with an almond toe; you can wear your commission for any occasion. Your pattern design and leather choices will dictate versatility.

10 whole sizes for fitting are available, EUR 37-46.

Sizes outside of this range are available on request.

For those unable to schedule a physical fitting, you will be guided on how to measure your feet during your remote consultation. This will be supplemented by a detailed questionnaire to ensure that your commission is best fit.

How to best fit a shoe last may seem overwhelming to the new, yet terminology and language are more intuitive than it may seem.
