The Last of a Shoe

The Last of a Shoe

The “foot print” or shape of the base of a shoe is known as the Shoe Last. Performance shoes (New Balance, Asics, etc.) today have different lasts to fit different shape feet.
To figure out if your foot is right for a performance shoe, all you have to do is take out the insole of the shoe and place your foot on top of the insole. If your foot does not follow the insole, the shoe will not properly fit your foot. If your foot covers the insole with about 1/8 of an inch of insole showing around the forefoot and toes of your foot, that performance shoe should be just right for your foot.

Please consult a local shoe professional or COR Clinic to determine proper shoe fit. www.CorClinic.com 480.272.7638
