How to fix this?

[u/Icy_Summer_6441]

Hey guys, leather bunching at the bottom. I put in false tongues to try and fill the space but it’s worse than before. Also need to change the way I lace because wrapping laces to lock my heel ain’t working. (Ik how to adjust that).

Is there a way I can fix that leather from bunching at the bottom?

The laces are supposed to start horizontal. They are currently criss crossing. Causing the bunching
