Forms built for function, lasts define the appearance, fit, and comfort of a shoe or boot. Lasts are an expression of both anatomical information and the purpose of footwear they shape. We use a variety of lasts, including those we developed specifically for our collection and a few time-honored American classics.

430 Last
The 430 Freestyle Last was explicitly developed to be used in combination with a hot salt soaking process, which softens the leather and allows it to quickly mold to the contours of a given foot, resulting in a truly personalized fit. The 430 is more like scaffolding for shoe construction, whereas a typical last is the foundation and framing. The final fit and form of the shoe is defined by the most unique of all lasts: the individual’s foot. To maximize the potential for personalization, the 430 establishes a large working area for feet to move freely, with near-zero drop and a broad perimeter in a shape known by distance runners, athletes, and podiatrists as a “natural toe.” Altogether, loafers made with the 430 Freestyle Last may accommodate wide and hard-to-fit sizes as well as more typical foot shapes, offering all the comfort that may otherwise be achieved only with a bespoke last or an orthopedic prescription.
