Lasts are the building blocks to a shoe and one of the integral processes of shoemaking. Lasts are used to render shape and form in the final stages of manufacturing. The shoe is moulded around the last to create the desired shape and fit. Once fitted on the last, the shoe can stay for up to a month in order to achieve the perfect balance of shape and structure.

The Zip Last

Our oldest and most popular last, the Zip has an almond toe, with a rounded girth used widely for all lace-up and fully-covered styles. Whilst it is graded as a EE last, it feels roomier than its equals and is accommodative of marginally wider feet as well. The understated Zip has a timeless shape rendering it the ability to carry a wide variety of styles from the classic oxford to the whole cut loafer making it suitable for daily work wear or a formal black-tie event.

The Rui Last

The Rui has a rounded toe and is a last suitable for wide feet. It has a EE grading but clearly feels closer to a EEE last. While round and conservative at the toe, the last has a beautiful upward streak from the girth up making it quite classy for daily wear. This is a last that one can never get bored of or find uncomfortable. 

The Deus Last

Our most recent and daring last, the Deus is a classic square toe with deep curves, and a wide body (EE width) making it suitable for wider feet. The Deus is best suited with sharp dressing be it a semi-formal evening or a tuxedo look. The Wholecut Oxford is showcases the curves and shapes of this Last in all it's glory

The Russel Last

The Russel last is a EEE fit, designed ideally for non-lace up shoes such as loafers and moccasins. This last is inspired by the loafers made in England that have larger girth areas but taper towards the toe creating a narrower looking shoe. The sole profile for this last is usually very distinctive providing an elegant look. The Russel is one of our most perfected lasts having gone through various iterations. The Unlined loafer is built on this last.

The Armin Last

The Armin last is a wide body last used for making loafers and moccasins. Made for a comfort fit, this shoe is a EE width, with a relaxed girth, allowing room for comfortable long day wears. This is a house favorite, owing to its classic comfort fit, and timeless style. Bridlen Moccasins are made with this last.

The Rufer Last

The Rufer has been developed on the Rui last adapting it to be more suitable for loafers and slip-ons. It has a rounded toe and the most accomodative of our lasts for wide feet. It has a EE grading but clearly feels closer to a EEE last. While round and conservative at the toe, the last has a beautiful upward streak from the girth up making it quite classy for daily wear. This is a last that one can never get bored of or find uncomfortable.

The Mod Last

The mod has a rounded toe and the most accommodating of our lasts for wide feet. It has a EEE grading. The Mod is a classic in it's British heritage. Round and stout this is the perfect last for wide feet and also larger sizes. The girth point and width of this shoe make it extremely comfortable while holding on to it's old world classic charm.

The Yama Last

The Yama is our Square toed boot last.
This is an aggressive last with a fitting that runs 1 size down. It has a roomy toe box and a wide instep making it perfect for a Chelsea boot. The Yama's proportions also help make the fit extremely comfortable. It is a balanced last that accommodates most feet types.

The Saga Last

The Saga is our more rounded and wider boot last. Used on the field and the wingtip boots. This last has ample space in the toe box and the rounded off toe gives it a nice distinct look. There is ample room in the instep and is perfect for both narrow and wide feet type. A versatile boot last that is a staple of our boot collection.

The Kin Last

The Kin is one of our older boot lasts. This last is highly adaptable to various styles. The Kin last is more almond toed and is not as rounded as the Saga. It is more suited for Chukka boots and unlined constructions. This last is deceptively comfortable, with a large instep and ample toe room.
