Last Guide

Lasts are the forms that provide shoemakers the foundation for building a shoe. The last used during crafting the shoe will affect the overall fit for width, instep height, and toe box shape. While the vast majority of fit issues can be resolved by changing the size, by selecting styles produced on a last that most resembles the shape of your feet, you can be more sure of a perfect fit. Find which FRĒDA last is best for you.
