Lasts

4497s Last: Created in 1937 to celebrate the coronation of King George VI, the 4497s Last’s elegant shape was uniquely designed for use on the Stow country boot, now the most famous Tricker’s Last and Pattern combination. The 4497s Last has a generous volume and width, an accommodative forefoot, waist, and heel, and a sophisticated rounded toe, making it suitable for most feet once the correct size is obtained. Focusing on a comfortable outdoor fit, the 4497s originally was developed for boots worn in the countryside but is now used on select shoe styles as well.

w2298 Last: Created in the 1980s as a city-styled Last, the w2298 was designed to be a shallower version of the 4497s with a subtly elongated toe and mild profile that provides a more refined silhouette. Originally designed for more casual dress-focused footwear, the w2298 Last works well for a variety of boot and shoe patterns providing a sleeker shape with a comfortable fit. This Last has a slightly narrower width in the forefoot and a snugger waist and heel than the 4497s, but easily fits wider feet. Generally, take the same size as the 4497s or related Lasts.

5402R Last: A modern styled Last with a rounded toe box and low profile that accommodates a wide variety of feet. The 5402R Last has a narrower width in the forefoot, waist, and heel than the w2298 and 4497s, but still easily fits a wide variety of feet. For wider feet or a more comfortable fit, consider taking a half (.5) size up from the Tricker's Common Last (4497s).

4444 Last: Created in 1937 to celebrate the coronation of King George VI, the 4444 is the widest heel-to-toe Last that we carry and has a more generous fit than the 4497s throughout. For average to wide feet, we suggest taking a half (.5) size down from your normal Tricker's size when purchasing this Last.
