Am I mistaken or is the right shoe Bruce last not plumb/straight? See third photo. It seems to vere to the right at the top.

lt's all good Meister.
One of the things which really annoyed me about Bruce's lasts was that the instep height wasn't made bespoke for each foot like l requested. One shoe had the lacing closed and the other had the lacing slightly open. Not impressed!
lf l had have known the last was going to be so blobby l would have had a derby made up instead of an oxford. Still...it was a good experiment. Now it's time to get down to business and get the good one made up.

l even managed to talk Mr X into doing inbuilt bespoke orthotics in all my Vass shoes. l am a very lucky fellow to have him agree to this.

about 1/2 way down (the lazyman shoe) from cliff on springline lasts, i'm even more determined to get the project moving

My orthotic guy has offered to do me a moulding suitable to transfer to a CAD drawing and then for making into a plastic last. He says he has someone in South Australia but would Springline be better?
