A last for every foot type – discover Hanwag’s secret to perfect fit

Backed by almost 100 years of boot-making expertise, Hanwag believes that a perfect fit is pivotal to great footwear. For optimum fit and performance, every pair of Hanwag boots are last constructed and the company has spent years developing a series of bespoke lasts that enable them to produce boots for feet of all shapes and sizes…

Standard

The perfect choice for many walkers, Hanwag’s legendary trekking last offers a snug and secure fit for stability and precision on the trail. It is available in both men’s and women’s specific fits.

Wide

Available on many of Hanwag’s most popular models, the Wide Last has a standard heel section but is wider around the forefoot and ball of the foot for people who find standard models too narrow at the front.

Narrow

A narrower version of the original last, Hanwag’s boots cobbled on the Narrow Last are ideal for walkers who find standard sized boots ill-fitting and unsupportive.

Bunion

Hanwag’s unique Bunion Last is based on the bestselling original yet offers an extra 3mm of space around the big toe joint – the main problem area for sufferers of bunions. Rather than having to go up a size or buy a wide fit boot, the Bunion Last provides a perfect fit around the rest of the foot while ensuring rubbing and pressure on the affected area is kept to a minimum.

As well as specific fits, Hanwag’s extensive range also includes activity specific lasts.
