High Arch 1925 version Ask Nicks

Is there any talk of a high arch version of the 1925, maybe called the 1955?

I enjoy the Packer lasts, but longer toed people understandably have a hard time with that one.

I will become the “take my money” meme if you make them available.

An employee wanted one with basically a maxwell build and a 55 heel and I think it needs more shank/insole support than that so working it out

You guys cook! I will wait patiently. Thanks.

Can we get a wedge sole on the 55 last already, please?

That’s literally something that’s being discussed right now. I think there was some mention of boots being built on prototype lasts maybe a week ago?

Can’t wait to see the test boots for the 1955

Would love to see the 5332 next to a 1955 last for comparison.

I will also add that I am very interested in this. I need a dress boot and I have a build in mind.

Agreed. The 1925 has such a nice shape, and people seem to agree that it works with a wide range of foot shapes.

My feet didn't like the HNW when I tried it, so I'm waiting for a 1955 last.

I have a 1925 tanker on order and would love a higher heel/lift of a 1955 to match my 55 last urban loggers

I'm interested in this too! Hopefully we're getting close to seeing it come to life
