LASTS

WHAT A LAST IS

A LAST IS THE SOLID FORM A SNEAKER IS BUILT AROUND. IT HOLDS THE SHAPE OF THE FOOT. IT DECIDES LENGTH, WIDTH, THE RISE OF THE INSTEP, THE ROOM AT THE TOE.

EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS IT.

SPRINGLINE

THE 1812 LAST IS MADE BY SPRINGLINE IN ENGLAND.

THE ENGLISH SCALE

EACH SIZE IS ONE THIRD OF AN INCH LONGER THAN THE ONE BEFORE. 8.47 MILLIMETRES.

THE MEASURE ENGLISH SHOEMAKERS HAVE WORKED TO FOR CENTURIES. THE 1812 LAST IS GRADED TO IT EXACTLY.

WIDTH

WIDTH GROWS WITH LENGTH. 1.8 MILLIMETRES ACROSS THE SOLE WITH EVERY SIZE. THE PROPORTION NEVER CHANGES.

ROOM TO MOVE

THE LAST IS ONE FULL SIZE LONGER THAN THE FOOT IT IS MADE FOR. 8.5 MILLIMETRES. THE FOOT LENGTHENS AS YOU WALK. THE SPACE IS KEPT FOR IT.

HAND LASTED

THE UPPER IS PULLED OVER THE LAST BY HAND AND LEFT TO TAKE ITS SHAPE. THE LEATHER REMEMBERS THE FORM.

TRUE TO SIZE

THE RESULT IS A SNEAKER THAT IS TRUE TO UK SIZE. ORDER THE SIZE YOU WEAR.
