JKF Last
Our classic, pointed last is not to be confused with an over elongated last that makes your feet look 2 sizes bigger. Instead it maintains the elegant nature and shape of the TMG last by simply extending the toe in the most subtle of contemporary fashions.
Its purpose is to create sleekness yet stay far from ostentatiousness. If you like the look of a slim silhouette in both shoes and attire, the JKF last will be just right for you.
In terms of fit, while could be deceiving with the pointed end, the JKF last is actually quite forgiving in the forefoot and does not actually restrict in the toes.
This would be considered one of our medium fitting lasts, not too wide, not too narrow

LPB Last
The soft chisel last is the tame brother of the chisel. Its softer lines ensure a safer look and due to that fact can complement just about any style.
The LPB last is no exception and would look good with any suit. Pair it with your heavy English flannel or your lightweight Italian wool and find yourself in elegant style with every step.
Our chisel lasts are our most generous in fit, so if you have a broad foot, these will work for you.

MGF Last
The chisel toe is the quintessential shape for a smart shoe that means business. Its sharp, yet fluid shape ensures a professional look throughout and also maintains a manner of elegance and style unrivaled by many.
Choosing a chisel toe shoe to complement your business attire ensures a great choice and a smart look. The MGF last should be your front runner choice.

NGT Last
The NGT last is our smart round last that very much represents an elegant modern day classic look.
With a slender silhouette and elongated toe box, the NGT is the perfect last to wear with your sharp, no frills business suits.
Being one of our more refined lasts in terms of it, the NGT is certainly more suited for a narrow to medium width foot.

SEA Last
The SEA last is our pointed symmetrical last, very reminiscent of a many French and Italian style lasts of similar symmetrical cuts.
The pointed nose of the SEA last makes a very serious shape for wearing with your more business like attire. While not impossible to wear with jeans, we see it more of a dress shoe last to wear with your classic business suits, think navy 2 button SB or your classic double breasted suit.
Being another one of our more refined lasts in terms of it, the NGT is certainly more suited for a narrow to medium width foot.
Facts
- Narrower/shallower forefoot
- Less voluminous instep but not a low instep
- Not good for wide feet
- Elongated last
- Hugging arch area

SES Last
The SES last is our take on the bulbous round shaped toe that is common among the classic American or English shoe firms. Think the Americana longwing look or the classic British derby shoe. A very round toe, but without an overly wide toe box.
Its very round shape lends to a more casual look and will pair well with models more suited to denim use and/or cotton trousers. We do not so much see this as a last you would accompany with a smart suit but again, style is in the eye of the beholder.
The SES last has a classic medium fitting

NJF Last
The NJF last is the boot version of our SES last. Like the SES it is our take on the bulbous round shaped toe that is common among the classic American or English shoe firms. Think along the lines of an Alden boot or the classic British brogue boot by Cheaney or Grenson. A very round toe, but without an overly wide toe box.
