The Last Guide

The last comes first. It is the starting point on the development of a shoe and from our point of view, the soul of it. We consider the last, the foundation of any of our shoes, one of the most important parts in the shoemaking process. All our lasts are carefully studied, designed & tested in house by our skillfull lastmaker.

The 'last' is the mould used to produce the shoes on, the one that gives the shoe its final shape, as seen when finished.

We're constantly working on new last developments to provide the widest range of possibilities, the best look & fit to our valued customers worldwide.
