Last Guide
The fundamental aspect of shoemaking is the last. The last is the "heart and soul", carrying both the aesthetics and fitting qualities, of a well constructed shoe.
Y by Yeossal has a diverse collection of lasts for our Handwelted collection to create beautiful shoes and help you to achieve the best possible fit.
YC3
Last YC3 is a contemporary last with a soft square toe and narrow waist. Aesthetically it is a softer version of the SG65 last, with smoother contoured curves and classic toe box.
This last fits true to size with generous voume under the vamp with an average instep and sculpted, close fitting heel. We recommend taking your usual size in this last. This last is available in both E and F fittings.
Last YC3 fits indistinguishable to BN7.
BN7
Last BN7 is identical in every aspect to the YC3 but with a soft round toe shape. Aesthetically it is a softer version of the DR70 last, with smoother contoured curves and classic toe box.
This last fits true to size with generous voume under the vamp with an average instep and sculpted, close fitting heel. We recommend taking your usual size in this last. This last is available in both E and F fittings.
