Last Type & Size guide

The foot plays an important role in supporting the weight of the entire body as well as locomotion. The engineering of our lasts and footwear construction take into account all the anatomical aspects of the foot, making it a true investment in your feet. Zamberlan® engineered different lasts based on the anatomical features of the foot and the requirements for various end-use applications.

Generally, Zamberlan boots are all comfortable, not too long and have a good volume.

Boot Lasts & Size Charts

To find your Zamberlan size, measure the distance from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe while wearing socks.

Place a sheet of paper on the floor and trace your foot with your heel against a wall.
Measure the outline from the back of your heel to the front of your toes.
Find this measurement in the chart below for the last of your model. If between two sizes, choose the larger.
Repeat for both feet and use the size that fits your bigger foot.

They are Okay, but not made in Italy!!!! I wish I knew that before I bought them,,, I would have passed on them.

I'm rating these boots as fair because of the cut. I bought a 7 as that has been perfect in the two other pairs of Zamberlans I have that still serve me well after 5+ years. But the Metropolis 7 is definitely a 7.5. They fit well across my mid foot so I decided to keep them, plus I needed a warmer weather option,but they are cut too high at the back of the ankle for a low cut boot. And a little loose there, too, so I will put an adhesive pad in there before I wear them for any length of time. Please bring back the fit you used for the Frida

comfortable and well

These shoes are more than a comfortable secure fit. They add miles to my walks. The pain from the soles meeting the road is relieved with this Metropolis brand shoe. I'm delighted to review this. I hope you have the same foot healing experience I have had

We own multiple pairs of Zamberlan footwear, never disappoint. FYI this shoe is made in Vietnam. Appears to be a quality shoe

Soulier trop large. Un peu surprenant car la botte de la même grandeur était plus étroite

Great arch support and ankle stability. Blister on my heal the first day. Hoping break in and better socks prevent this.

Good design

I really like the Metropolis Lifestyle shoe however I did have to return them. My normal Zamberlan shoe size is 10 and that is what I ordered. The length was fine however there is more room in the forefront of this shoe that I like and my foot had too much room to move around, even after lacing up real snug.

Excellent quality shoe, the insole is uniquely constructed, supportive, comfortable. I truly don't understand why shoe manufacturers, including Zamberlan in this case, don't offer a womens size 10.5 because that's what would really be the perfect fit for me. Had to get size 11 and hope for the best. Lower rating is because the womens sizing is limited and does not include 10.5 but skips right to 11. This is crazy!
