Do Balmorals need different lasts than Oxf/Derbys? - Page 2

The link doesn't work either (at least not from this site).

I have exported them to photobucket:







That seems to be doing the trick!

P.S. shoefan, did you ever cconsider making shoes in bullfrog? Now is the time, just harvest all those frogs!

Here are the photos Shoefan was trying to post: Oops, sorry for the double post. Oh, well...worth repeating.

Great minds think alike!

Toe box shape is almost immaterial. I've made narrow pointed "cockroach-in-a-corner-killers" on a wide round toed last. And I've made very successful jodhpurs, balmorals, and derbies on an oxford last. Pull on boots require a boot last or extensive build-ups on the last to achieve a graceful shape. YAnd yu better know what a good boot last looks like before you begin. Loafers and pumps require a special last or some (maybe a lot) of cutting away of the substance of the last....and you need to know what a pump last looks like before beginning.
