Snug, anatomical and more contouring to shape of foot than other Viberg lasts. More close to 2045 or 2055 than any thing else. Couldn’t go half down Brannock due to how contouring it was, almost felt arch placement was exact only one down Brannock

Why I own this

Ready To Wear

Wanted to try the 1940 last and the washed cxl leather which seems so special to touch. Very supple, almost jacket leather like.

How I sized

1940 Last: 9EUS Men's Brannock: 10D OR E HTB/9.5 HTT

Tried On

Started half down but found the contouring design misplacing the arch and wide part of the last against my foot. Although I need a 9.5 to help with the width usually, I found the 9 exacting while trying on. Only wear will tell if it actually works
