:Technology · Lasts
 

The last gives the shape to the boot as also the fit to the foot. Every type of footwear has its specific last.
The height of the instep, the ankle support and also the heel movement are all elements that need to be considered when selecting the last for its intended use.
Ladies and men's feet are different and these variations result in the number of different lasts we use in our range as illustrated here.
Most women have a higher instep, a narrower foot profile and heel shape. Our last takes account of these differences.
Boots intended for women's use also have a more shock absorbing insole foot-bed.
