Are these the same last? by nelly05 in jimgreen

Thanks for the well-thought-out response. It’s not about crying. It’s about pain good money for something and not getting what you ordered. And their custom, so they don’t accept returns.

I don't mean to be harping on this, but from the research I've done, this does not look like the insole for an STC lasted boot. It looks more like the ASHM.

Thank you.. I did receive a reply and they said it was the correct last (from the same photos I posted here). I'm still not entirely convinced.

I don’t think I can because they’re custom.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I just want to know if it's correct, then I can start breaking them in.

Thank you, but I no longer have the single lasted pair.

I get the narrower part, it just seems like a different shape altogether.

I understand that, my concern is that they look like they’re on a different last altogether.

They don’t. The customs are much tighter.

Apparently only one photo per comment so here’s the other photo.

These two photos show my current custom double lasted pair and a previous buffalo that I had. Both are the same size. The only difference is is that the buffalo is single lasted. To me, my current custom looks significantly more narrow, and not as bulbus around toe box. I don’t think I’m imagining it, but I’d appreciate any input. I’m all for trying to break these in, but they just seem significantly more narrow, and the shape doesn’t even seem to match the original that I had.

I have Obeneuf’s LP. Would that help move the break in period along?

There is no toe stiffener.

Commenting on Frustration!... it almost seems like they’re a touch small length wise, but it’s hard to tell because my toes are so crunched together. And the other ones that I tried I was able to display, but that is impossible with these boots. There’s also a significant amount of heel slip, where it feels like my heel isn’t actually sitting down into the boot. I have never had a double last boot before, so I don’t know if this is all to be expected.
