Badfeeling6 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I've been looking around, and honestly, I can't find any boots being sold that fit a size 15 (queue the Sasquatch jokes), so I decided to make them myself seeing as how online tutorials show it being done with relatively no hassle. I know the kind of boot to use, but I was wondering if this is the right kind of fabric I should be using, or if I am even in the same ballpark. http://www.joann.com/signature-series-vinyl--signature--white/9131376.html#prefn1=refinementColor&prefn2=theme&prefv3=Vinyl&prefv1=Whites&prefv2=Solids&prefn3=type&start=1 Quote
zarintyr Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 i feel ur pain. i fit almost size 13-13.5 the boots i made were 10, so a bit tight. the only base boots i could find. 1 Quote
Dart Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 That might be the right kind. You want a heavier vinyl, something not deeply textured, Sometimes it's called "Marine Vinyl". Seems like you're on the right track. I too feel your pain. I've got a pair of size 13E's and it can be tough finding shoes. 1 Quote
kayelbe Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 If you have one local, go in and take a look. I *believe* that's the one I got from Joann's, but not sure. It should have a slight texture to it, but not leathery-wrinkly looking. Picture a vinyl covered barstool... 1 Quote
Badfeeling6 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Picture a vinyl covered barstool... Thank you very much haha! That's actually a perfect description, I'll start looking for that! 1 Quote
Badfeeling6 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 Okay, next question, because I was dumb and didn't ask before. What should the base boots for my scout boots be? Should I go with the typical rain-boot kind of thing? Or should I use a specific kind of work boot? Suggestions? Quote
