Starting the wifes boots

[Wags]

Ok, so started on these last week. Let me know what you think. They are small. She only wears a size 6.

Couple of bits jump out at me bro, the dog bone shapped trims looks a little small over the top, the toe section just below the laces looks like it wants to be alot tighter and the soles on the boots possibly more tan coloured, but yor off to a good start mate, have you glued it up yet? If so your not going to be able to re stretch the toes. Did you heat them up beofre stretching the vynil as that makes it alot easier to work with bro.

Thanks for the input Marcel.

 

The Dog bone trim is not glued on. Didnt want to do that till I got some feedback, the toe section looks tight due to the towel I have shoved in the boots to stretch them out while I was working on them. The problem is that the boots are soooooo small that I cant get the height on the toes so I was trying to stretch them out as best as I could.

 

As for the soles, I can hit that with the sander and bring back the color. The wife has wore the boots a few times so they have a little weathering on the soles

 

How much bigger do you suggest I make the dog bone?

 

I still havent trimmed down the shin section. Everything with thumb tacks in them is NOT glued yet, so I can still do some work on it.
