Zamberlan have different lasts, accordingly to different targets, such as the anatomy of the user and destination of the boot, as well as to the intended purpose of the boot. We have specific lasts for female users, that take into account the anatomy differences between male and female feet. We have different lasts for different markets as not all feet are the same. We also take into account the different intended purpose of the boot as we believe the necessities are not the same for an ice climbing boot versus a light weight boot for on-trail use.
