Last Technology

We create optimal last shapes by collecting and analyzing the measurement data from a large number of riders’ feet.
Comfort and pedaling performance are improved when riders’ feet fit securely in their shoes without needing to over-tighten the closure.

for racing SHIMANO DYNALAST

SHIMANO's extensive research and feedback from pro riders inspire superior shoe last designs with optimized toe-spring sections. SHIMANO DYNALAST ensures a secure fit for each part of the foot while pedaling, helping high-intensity riders save power for their final sprint. Optimal toe-spring positioning is vital for a smooth and energy-efficient upstroke. Positioning too high increases muscle tension, while positioning too low results in an inefficient pedaling form.

for touring VOLUME TOUR LAST

While SHIMANO DYNALAST reduces power loss and provides a secure fit for racing, our Volume Tour Last is tailored for more relaxed riding and touring. It supports comfortable pedaling with a wider bottom from the toes to the heels and an upper that is not overly snug. This versatile last design ensures a seamless transition between cycling and walking and provides long-lasting comfort on and off the pedals.​

VOLUME TRAIL LAST

The Volume Trail Last is ideal for both the active and more relaxed parts of trail riding, with its balance of secure pedaling performance and walking comfort. It provides a snug fit around the ball of the foot to enhance pedaling power transfer and active bike control on challenging trails and climbs. It also offers extra room for the toes and heels to provide a comfortable fit while walking.

WOMEN'S SPECIFIC

Using a last based on men’s feet can result in excessive roominess for female cyclists, potentially leading to problems with power loss and fit. Our Women’s Specific lasts are tuned to ensure a better fit and performance for the smaller volume and narrower proportions of female cyclists’ feet. We offer women’s specific designs for all our lasts to provide the optimal balance of support and comfort for a wide range of female riders.​
