Our Footwear is exported to over 23 countries worldwide.
We offer over 24 innovative designs that are perfect for city, country and work.
Along with high quality traditional craftsmanship. For example over the years we have refined pattern designs, introduced new lightweight materials to meet changing lifestyle trends and altered sizes to cater for changing foot shapes and sizes. The construction of Lastrite’s Footwear products is stitched and screwed and veldtschoen construction. We sell to customers from Kaitaia to Invercargil within New Zealand and supply a Japanese client selling worldwide. People don’t mind paying for quality when they know they are receiving real value for money and a personal touch. All Lastrites’ boots and shoes are 100% made in New Zealand, and all fully repairable. All upper leather is sourced from the Tasman Tannery in Wanganui, New Zealand, and we now purchase our commando soles with our own moulds from Field Rubber Auckland, New Zealand.

TonyHi Neville, The boots arrived yesterday, thank you. I must say the craftsmanship is impeccable! The boots are a perfect fit, sized for my left foot. My right foot is 1cm smaller in length and feels equally as good as my left.The flex around the ankle is about the same as the new age lightweight technical mountaineering boots (like La Sportiva Trango Extreme) but with solid soles that would likely last 10 times as longer. So based on that, i reckon these boots would comfortably handle general summer mountaineering. I figure the hunter and the tussock are more aimed to handle such abuse.With the current trends and consumer captivation of lightweight as possible, although the punters not thinking about shedding the 10-15kgs they carrying in useless bodyweight, and stylish logos, flash colours, bells and whistles…. I think it’s a hard sell to convince punters just how superior the craftsmanship and utility of these boots are. Hopefully anything i can say about these boots to friends and folks in the CMC will hopefully send business your way. Seeing things done properly is truly inspiring, and in a strange way i’m looking forward to breaking my feet into that pair!
Glenn CrickettHi Neville, well I’ve been wearing the boots now for a few days & they fit well & are very comfortable even during the wearing in phase, the slightly higher arch? makes them a lot easier to get on & off. I hope you remember the patten for these boots as I will be buying a few more pairs towards the end of the year. Many thanks for your help & assistance with this project the end result have been excellent. Regards
Colin Taylor, TwizelHello Neville, Just received my boots I ordered from you (size 9/wide last/Tramper model). I’m really stoked with them but worried that I’ll have to take them off before I go to bed tonight! They feel so comfortable and light – and I’ve only just started to wear them. Excellent workmanship, thank you so much. I will certainly be recommending your boots. Regards
