Fit Your Foot

Lasts

A last is the plastic mold shoes upon which shoes are made. The shape of the last determines the style of the shoe and how it fits your foot – from the shape of the toe to the height of the heel to the depth of the instep.

All Munro American shoes are made on a ‘combination’ last. This means the heel is narrower than the toe by 2 widths: for example a medium (B) toe has a narrow (AA) heel.

Once you’ve found a shoe that fits your foot properly, all other shoes manufactured on the same last will fit similarly, though NOT EXACTLY the same. This is because the STYLE of the shoe determines the fit of the shoe. A walking shoe in 8M will not fit the same as a ballerina flat in 8M because the flat only holds the foot at 2 places, the ball of the foot and the heel. To keep you from walking out of the flat, the forepart of the shoe must be tighter than the forepart of a walking shoe that fits all around the foot up to the top of the instep.

Heel Height

At Munro, what we refer to as “Heel Height” (how high your foot is off the ground) is actually the “Last Height”, (which measures the elevation of the heel above the ball of the foot). The heel height number listed indicates last height. We want you to make the right choices for yourself. Please ask your fit professional for more information.

We use latex and polyurethane outsoles, comfort footbeds and super-soft leathers together with specialized manufacturing techniques so that all our styles are amazingly comfortable.

All of these amazing styles are manufactured and assembled in America.
