I think I have straight legs but duck feet, so I failed to take this into account as a figuration. How should I alter the draft to account for this?
Thank you!

Thank you!
This is what I would do [not necessarily the correct answer!] IF you are happy with the side seam position:
Add 1" to the inside seam of the front part, tapering out to the crotch point as it is now. Remove 1" from the back part inside seam, tapering as above.
This will move the inside seam 1" backward. If you want to move the side seam forward - same procedure in reverse, take off front part, add to rear part.
Dont try and remake these - keep them for reference so you can see the changes and wear them around the house :-D
BTW - if you turn up the hem so its hanging freely you will get a better indication of the true fit.
At this point I think I'd rather redraft with the correct figuration than fit these – if I can salvage them from the new pattern then that would be a bonus
Thats what I thought that may have been the issue with your trouser undersides. But I can't see that post
Yep those are duck foot alright.
