Lasts

2030 Last: The 2030 Last is the most Common Viberg Last and serves as a good comparison in the rest of our guide for size and shape. The 2030 is based on a Last used for Canadian Military Officer dress uniform footwear, with an Original and Standard (E) width to accommodate a wide variety of feet. It features an almond-shaped and elongated toe, an average waist, a low heel, and an overall shallow profile. The result is a sleek-looking boot that can accommodate most feet. The 2030 is very comparable to an Alden Barrie D/E Last in terms of fit, and we typically recommend sizing at least a half (.5) size to one (1) size down from most boot manufacturers like Alden or Red Wing. We also find most feet take the same size in a Viberg 2030 Last as a Tricker’s 4497s or w2298 Lasts.

1035 Last: Developed for the Derby Shoe pattern and later adapted as a wider foot alternative to the 2030 Last while maintaining certain aesthetics. The 1035 is a cross between the roomy and rounded toe box of the 2040 and the low profile, moderate waist, and moderate heel of the 2030. The 1035 Last was an Original (EE) width designed for those looking for a roomy fit and width throughout, and is now a Standard (E) width accommodating D to E+ widths. The 1035 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size.

2040 Last: Based on a Munson style Last, anatomically designed to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. Slightly less dramatic than the 2045, the 2040 features a wide, roomy toe box and forefoot with an above-average profile and a very slight bump toe, yet has a tapered waist and a narrow heel. Designed to accommodate almost all foot shapes, the 2040 is an excellent option for those who prefer a true heritage boot shape, have a wider forefoot, or are not well suited for the 2030. The 2040 Last was an Original (EE) width in the forefoot with a snug gripped waist and heel, and now is a Standard (E) width, accommodating C to E+ widths. The 2040 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size.

2045 Last: A traditional Munson Last, anatomically designed and developed by the US Army to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. The 2045 features a high volume, broad, spacious forefoot with an above-average profile and slight bump toe, with a tapered waist and a narrow heel. Designed to accommodate almost all foot shapes, the 2045 is an excellent option for those who prefer a true heritage boot shape or have wider feet. The 2045 Last is an Original and Standard (EEE) width in the forefoot with a snug and gripped waist and heel, accommodating D to EEE widths. The 2045 is off-grade from Viberg’s standard sizing, and generally, we recommend going a half (.5) size down from a Viberg Common Last (2030 Last).

2055 Last: Based on the traditional 2045 Munson Last, anatomically designed and developed by the US Army to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes, but with a lower profile toe and forefoot. The 2055 shares the same accommodative width in the forefoot as the 2045 and has a tapered waist and narrow heel. The 2055 is an excellent option for those with wider feet or desire a sleeker version of a heritage boot shape. The 2055 comes in an Original and Standard (EE) width in the forefoot with a snug and gripped waist and heel, accommodating D to EE widths. The 2055 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size.

310 Last: A vintage Last pulled from the work boot archives with a completely different feel and shape from all others due to a broad and generous fitting toe box, forefoot, waist, and heel with substantial volume throughout. It features a raised heel and sprung toe to provide a natural rocking heel-to-toe gait when walking to avoid slipping and tripping on worksites. While the fit is very different from other Viberg Lasts, the sizing is based on where your foot sits in the bed, rather than by width in any particular area. The 310 Last was an Original (EE) width, and now is a Standard (E) width in the forefoot with a more gripped waist and heel, accommodating D to EE widths. The 310 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size.

2020 Last: Based on an orthopedic Last that grips and hooks with the anatomical shape of the foot to provide a comfortable fit in a sophisticated silhouette. Dressier than Viberg’s other Lasts, the 2020 features an average-width forefoot with a tapered waist and snug heel that hugs and holds the foot throughout. Designed as a shapely Last for average to narrow feet where placement is critical, the 2020 has an Original and Standard (D) width, accommodating C to E widths. The 2020 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and consistent to a 2030 Last size.

2050 Last: Based on a vintage Argentinian riding boot Last originally developed for Viberg’s Chelsea Boot. In an average width, it features a slightly extended, narrow toe box and a high instep that provides an accommodating fit with a sophisticated silhouette. The 2050 is exclusively used on non-lace patterns designed to form around various foot types and widths. The 2050 has an Original and Standard (D) width, accommodating C to E widths. The 2050 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size.

2010 Last: Based on a vintage travel shoe, the 2010 Last is used exclusively for the wholecut Slipper, which is entirely unstructured and designed to fit like a glove for your foot. The 2010 has a round toe, low profile with minimal heel drop, and is an Original and Standard (E) width in the forefoot, accommodating D to EE widths. The 2010 Last is off-grade from Viberg’s standard sizing, and we recommend going one (1) size down from a Viberg Common Last (2030 Last) if planning to wear sockless or with thinner or no-show socks and a half (.5) size down if planning to wear the Slipper with socks.

1003 Last: Developed exclusively for the Sneaker as an accommodating and balanced functional athletic form with a casual and sleek aesthetic. The 1003 Last is a generous (D) width with a moderate profile and volume throughout, accommodating C to EE widths with a fully removable footbed that allows for more volume and width to be gained. The 1003 is considered a Viberg Common Last on their standard grade and is consistent to a 2030 Last size. For a snug fit, go with the smaller of your range or a half (.5) size down from a Viberg Common Last (2030 Last).
