Oct. Tenth Last and Size Guide

EASY AS 1, 2, 3

With years of experience in the shoe trade, together with the people behind Oct. Tenth we developed a set of 4 different last. All four lasts are based on the UK sizing system, with the aim of introducing the beautiful shoes made by our Shanghai-based workshop to an international clientele all around the world.

The four lasts are named after the city where the shoes are crafted (the Shang and Hai lasts), and the river that flow through it (the Huang and Pu lasts).

In terms of aesthetics, the Huang and Pu lasts are the more traditional, British inspired lasts with full volume and soft curves. The Shang and Hai lasts are more contemporary, with harder edges and an elongated shape. We will discuss the fit aspect of each last individually below.

At the bottom of the page you will also find a conversion table that you can use to determine your size.
