Official Homemade Boots Thread

The dinghy boots dont look bad at all, specially for a custom mandalore and the price is great too.

I had heard that Walmart used to sell a decent base boot that could be converted. I need some names to help me in my Ebay searches for base boots. Any help would be great!

"Wallabee" style boots, look for that. There are alot of this style of shoe out there, and they usually have a sharp side sole, and some even have a real square toe to 'em. Good luck!

This may sound daft, but try using a slipper as a base boot..very cheap, flat sole, usually elasticated. I'm building a pair at the moment and they are looking good.

I saw some "Boot Rubbers" that slip on over shoes/boots at wal-mart that could be painted to be accurate. They were located near the "Water-proofing" sprays.

Only size 5 though you must have small fett.


get it?

 

[BigaboyFett]

Umm, yeah. Oh well, I am trying. You know what they say about small feet...small....shoes! <-- I bet you thought I was going to be dirty. I am going to Wal-Mart now and buy some nighty slippers! May the Fetts be with us...Always!

 

[cal196]

That is a shame though. The best I could come up with to fit my feet was this

But I thought if I'm gonna pay 50 I might as well just get the ones from caboot, which i havent even ordered yet, i hope they dont run out anytime soon.

Here's my boots (I know, I know only 1 is finished- but I couldn't wait)
Keep in mind that they cost under 5 bucks total to do.
$2 thrift store boots
$1.24 for piping
spikes are pen tips,toe plate is leftover vinyl "for sale" sign, had the paint already.

Oh yeah, your eyes do not deceive you,the boots were purple.
