Helping a friend buy a pair of boots. Pretty much have all the other info on boots, but what is the boot last measurement? Is this a specific measurement for each boot maker or is this a universal measurement like BSL?
The boots she is looking at are the Salomon Divine's with a last measurement of 102.
In general, the last is a measurement of the width of the front of your foot. It's a little more in depth than that, but that is the general idea. The measurement is pretty much standard, a 100mm last in one boot, should be identical to a 100mm last in another boot.
Not always. A 98mm in a Tecnica and a 98 in a Garmont or Rossi will feel different and may have been measured in a different location on the last.Quote:

I've heard that last widths grow by 3/16" in for each mondopoint size delineation, but I think this is excessive.
thanks...
Just not a measurement I've really paid much attention to before and don't see it listed much.
