SUPPORT / LASTS Part of what makes Allen Edmonds footwear so unique is the wide variety of lasts we use to build our shoes. By selecting shoes manufactured on the last that most resembles the foot’s contours, customers can achieve a superior fit. Watch a video of the fitting process on the media page of allenedmonds.com to learn how an Allen Edmonds Master Fitter can help you get a perfect fit.
Goodyear Welted Styles There are ten different lasts used to manufacture our current welted footwear, or those styles designated by a four-digit number. The last number is the same as the style’s final digit.
8 Last Modeled after the 4 last, but with more depth to accommodate the removable orthotic. (Ashton and Benton only)
0 Last (000) A more pronounced cone and elongated forepart with a subtly clipped toe create a sleek silhouette.
234 Last Similar to the 7 last with a slightly more squared toe.
1 Last (511) Similar to the 7 last from heel to ball; more rounded, fuller fitting toe.
222 Last Elongated toe with a slightly higher instep. Very similar to the 108 last.
5 Last (65) Longest in length of our lasts; best for a long, narrow foot.
9 Last (79) Tapered back portion pushes the foot forward to fit low across the top of the foot rather than the instep.
8 Last (108) Elongated forepart with a tapered and flatter toe; similar to the 2 last.
7 Last (97) Best fit for the average foot; lays flatter in the toe area.
73 Last Wider across the ball of the foot with more room over the instep.
