Ladies Brogues

So I put soles on & took the shoes off the last, the results were not as I hoped, the shoes has come up very wide, but I know where I went wrong & will try again (photo shows unfinished shoe as I would normally trim the lining at the top & dye the sole & heel)

Could you post a picture side on of just the last?I am curious to see the shape that you are starting with. The quarters look to be too high on where they connect to your vamp and the backward angle of your heel counter also makes me think this. Also I think your top line pattern may be too high on your last giving you an oversized upper to try and deal with. I must congratulate you on your efforts so far and thank you for sharing your journey with us all on here.

Lasts as below, I think where I went wrong was the inner sole I made was too wide at the waist & I did not pull the upper tight enough on the last,

Thanks ...the lasts look alright. When you do your toe 1st pulling you should see the heel counter cup in around at the top line. It appears to me that your curve has   not enough swell at the lower side compared to the top but that may be just the picture perhaps.
