About the last (foot type)

■ Last (foot shape)

A last is like a mold that wraps around the upper to give it shape when making shoes. Blueover uses a uniquely designed last created in collaboration with a last craftsman. The last is a very important part of the shoe. Shoe brands decide the shape of the last based on the type of person they want to wear their shoes. It is an important part that can be said to be the skeleton of the brand.

The shoes made by blueover are designed to be loose around the forefoot and provide a firm hold on the instep and heel so that you don't get tired even when wearing them for long periods of time while standing and walking.

On this page, we will introduce the features of our lasts to ensure you can wear them comfortably.

  • The toe area has a gap that allows your toes to move freely when wearing the shoes.

  • The instep circumference is E width. The instep height is a relatively standard height.

  • The top line and width of the foot are roomy from the base of the little toe to the toes and ball of the foot.



At blueover, we offer two types of lasts depending on the model.

  • Mikey Last < width:E >
    This is the brand's standard last. It has a wide foot width and volume in the toe box, making it comfortable to wear.

  • Marcolast < width:E >
    Compared to the Mikey last, the width is narrower and the toe box is reduced, giving it a silhouette similar to that of a men's shoe. The instep circumference and width are similar to those of the Mikey last, so the comfort and size feel are unchanged.

■About Wise

Width refers to the length (foot circumference) measured around the circumference of the foot from the base of the big toe to the base of the little toe. Width notation is determined by the JIS standard and is divided into 10 levels: A, B, C, D, E, 2E, 3E, 4E, F, and G. A is a narrow shoe and G is a larger shoe.

How to measure width

  1. Stand with your weight evenly distributed on both feet.

  2. Measure all the way around, passing through the base of your thumb and the base of your little finger.

  3. Look at the column for your size in the size and width chart and determine a guideline such as D width or E width.

*Some people have different foot circumferences, so please measure both feet.
