Diy boots

[nsbuff28]

Made my own boots would like some input as to what you guys think. It's my first pair I have ever done and hope to take another swing at it in the future. Haven't attached my holster yet to the boot.

I think it's a great first run at it! The only things I see that you might want to address on your next set is the seam at the top might need to be a little cleaner. It has a pretty good ripple there at the top of your boot. You might need to bring that top seam over a bit more to give the sewing machine a little more bite.

did you follow the Boot Tutorial here http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=903

 

as Retrofire said might want to address the problem at the top seam on the boot first & get some cleaner & give the boots a good clean

 

the above Tutorial gives you a step by step guide on how too do the boots

 

hope this helps you out with your boots

Thank you I'm probaly gowing to try and start my second attempt. I did use the tutorial I didn't notice the top of the boot till after I sewed them so I'll have to see if I can fix them. I greatly Appreciate your comments.

Taking in your input after taking a break from working on my armor cause of life. I’m going on attempt #2 on my boots. Photos to come!

Here are some photos of my second attempt on the boots. I was able to salvage the boots from the first attempt. I’m going to take my time and make sure I don’t make the same mistakes twice.

Looks like you got a good stretch going on the toes. Looking forward to seeing some more on these.
