any recommendations for a Chukka that fits like a modified?
There are several Japanese manufactures that make Modified Last inspired (or knockoff) shoes
MIYAGI KOGYO has a line of MTO shoes that uses a Modified Last inspired 'Oblique' Last, and they have a Chukka Model (model MD-07)
As far as I know, Miyagi Kogyo's MTO shoes are available in USA from:

hope this info helps!
Nutcracker,
Is Pegman one of the brands that emulates the modified last? They always look like the Modified Last in pictures.

Thank you so much! I just visited Moulded in NYC yesterday out of interest and after being measured, it turns out I have a modified last. When I put a pair of Aldens on, a pair of suede oxfords with a new ruit was like heaven and I immediately bought a pair (at vast expense). All these years and I never had the right fit...Thanks again!
After looking at Nutcracker's scanlations link in his sig, I remembered that I recently asked Crockett & Jones in NYC if the 367 last (the one with the tight waist and higher heel cup) was available as a special order and they told me it was definitely not available outside Japan.
I actually spent quite some time examining the new 367 at Isetan Men's the other day. With a tigher and more pronounced waist, a pseudo-fiddleback sole, and a pitched heel, they are marketed as an improvement, or an update to 337 (instead of being treated as a different last). Some of the staple 337's models (Audley, Belgrave etc...) have been replaced from the shelf with the new 367' versions. shame they're designated as Japan exclusive models.
perhaps they'll show up on ebay sometime?
any photos?
