Possible boots

[Wildcard]

Greetings all!

 

I'm working on my TB slowly. I have the suit, in the process of getting a helmet, and I'm also looking for boots. I plan on making my own set.

 

I'm looking for advice and wondering if this pair of boots would work well.

What do you think?

Yeah, they could work.

 

remember to bring the vinyl down as far to the main sole over the faux stitching as possible, and be mindful that the join down the side ( towards the toe) may cause a visible ridge in your covering.

 

On other type boots, this area is covered over by the Dog Bone, but that wouldn't be the case with these boots as that part sits too far forward.

I use these boots because they are only 20$ at kmart, made 5 pairs with them.

Thanks for the advice.

I used the same boots. Pretty happy with the result (for my first attempt):

Did you find that the part that comes down the side caused any problems?

I started to notice that ridge as i went through the multiple heating/stretching/pinning cycles, and made sure to stop short of it becoming very prominent. You can notice it just starting a bit on the right boot in my pic.

 

Just watch how the vinyl is molding as you're stretching. I didn't do anything special, just kept an eye on it.

 

One thing I wish I had done would be to swap out the original round laces with a flat, sneaker type lace.

Wow! Boots look great! That will be my first project in my build! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, ya'll!

 

That was the first part of my build, and was very fun and satisfying to work on. Props to the maker of the tutorial. I just followed the blueprints
