Shoe Lasts

All shoes are constructed over a wood or composite form called a "last". With this in mind, New Balance has developed the Fit-form System.

The system is composed of 18 carefully crafted shoe forms (lasts), each of which are engineered to provide the fit and size profile optimized for women, men, or kids according to their activity and foot characteristics, making up what we call our 360 degree Fit System.
