A last is the heart of every finely crafted shoe—a carefully shaped mould that defines the structure, fit, and overall aesthetic of your footwear. Historically, lasts have been meticulously handcrafted to mirror the contours of the human foot, ensuring not only comfort but also the desired elegance and silhouette of the final product.

At Poyter Shoes, we understand the profound impact a last has on the look, feel, and functionality of your shoes. The choice of last influences everything from the toe shape to the arch support and the way the shoe complements your style. Selecting the right last is crucial, as it sets the foundation for the design and ensures a perfect balance between form and comfort.

When using our Create Your Own Shoe and Custom Shoe Design Tool, your journey begins with this essential step: selecting one of our expertly crafted lasts. From traditional rounded toes to chiselled, sleek designs, our collection ensures there’s a last to suit every preference. Once you’ve chosen, you’ll move seamlessly into our interactive 3D tool to bring your vision to life.
