The company was founded in 1982 by Kenneth Tipping and is now the only remaining last manufacturer in Britain, a testament to the skill of its staff, the quality of its products and its flexibility in adapting to customer needs.

At Spring Line we understand the need for a fast turnaround of orders whilst maintaining the high quality our customers expect from us.

Our services range from Bespoke hand-crafted wooden models to bulk supply of durable plastic lasts in all sizes and fittings. We will manufacture to your particular specification and design requirements.

Initial models and bespoke lasts are still crafted in wood. However, the large majority of bulk lasts are now made in plastic for improved durability. Lasts can be made to many specifications, with different hinges, plugs, plates and slots in toes according to the shoemaker’s requirements.
