but i was wondering, how are you gonna make these? i have plans of cosplaying someone with boots similar to these. how are u gonna make boot with laces on it? if its not too much to ask, sorry for the bother.
@Mau Generally you wouldn't do a lace-up bootcover with stretch fabric. Personally I would paint a lace-up boot to match, rather than trying to make it, since it requires stiffer materials. Krylon Fusion is a good spraypaint for synthetic shoes (ie not real leather).
Out of curiosity, since my costume's shoes just look like one long thigh-high panty-hose, what if a cheap flat shoe was used instead of a heeled shoe? Would the rules of this tutorial still apply?
Yes, it definately works! I have done some boots (non-stretch method) using just $1 mesh sandals from Chinatown as the base, and it worked no problem. Ballet-style plain flats would be your best bet, anything without embellishments or laces makes a perfectly fine base shoe.
what material did you use for the red boots? also what type of shoes did you use for the thigh high boots? im cosplaying as black rock shooter,if you look her up the shoes you used for the thigh high boots are asolutely perfect, also what material would you recomend for these boots, i need them too stay up on my leg. thanks shannen, you can contact me on shannen.rebecca@hotmail.com
Hi! I used this tutorial for making the boots for my Sango cosplay. The boots turned out great! So many cosplayers neglect the shoes on a costume, but they really completed the outfit, and I even won an award. :D Second place in Best Craft! Probably partly thanks to the boots! ;)
Hey, I needed to know if this method would still work if using a non-stretch material. The reason I ask is the boots I'm working on actually go over the pants and they're loose pants. Since stretch material would show the bunching on the pants that won't work so I wanted to see if a non-stretch would still work with this method just using the second way of attaching.
sorry i know you probably got this question a lot, but my question is basically the same as the Anonymous, i am also cosplaying black rock shooter and would love to know what material you used for the boots, and what base you used :) my email is Cahetrick@cox.net. If you cant reply that's fine!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! You've given me at least an idea of what I'm about to do. I have a tight time limit and need to finish a Superman costume asap for a party. Thanks again :)
your tutorial is awesome, but im not sure how to go about making covers for the boot style im doing ( im cosplaying as sherwood forest ashe from league of legend... model page: http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=22&skin=2)would you be able to help me out by explaining how to do this? email is littleonna@gmail.com
Hey I know your post is old but maybe you'll read this by chance :S
I wonder what the fabric is called which you used for the red shiny shoes *-* Is it stretchable as well like notmal...nonvarnishlike Spandex or isn't it.
I am SO unbelievably curious because I need this kind of shiny shoes for a current cosplay. <3
oh this is awesome! I'm planning a "Madam Raz" costume for the next convention and the boots were... well not something you can buy. the top and the pants are a sinch, and I can make the hat/wig thing easy. But I was stuck on the boots.
That is AWESOME. I wondered how you'd gotten such cool looking Terra boots when you showed me the pics at NYCC. Thanks

ReplyDelete@mf(x) : oh, i get it. so, you're going to paint the laces, somehow similar to the boots you're gonna cosplay?
ReplyDelete@Mau No, just paint the shoes & replace the laces.
ReplyDeleteAMANDA conner wants some terra boots!!
