Bootsleves for Combat Bootfeet? |
Lead | |
|
Does anyone know where I can find Bootsleves for the flat heeled combat bootfeet? I'm only looking for 1 pair, any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know of anyone that makes a combat boot sleeve. But you could take the foot part out of a bootfoot and glue it into a pair of combat boots. I would
fill the bootfoot with Apoxie clay to give it a smooth bottom. Then once it's dry spread a thin layer of crazy glue on the bottom of the foot and slide it
into the combat boot.
Male Combat boots would look a little big but it should work. I may give it a try myself. Paul |

Or do you need a single complete set -- feet and sleeves? Oh by the way -- is this to use with a CG or PB femme figure, or maybe Triad, or with something else? What sort of "shank" or "uppers" effect for the sleeves are you looking for? A pull-on look, like German marching boots? Or lace-up? Or thigh-high sleeves, but to fit the military flat-soles vice the stiletto heels most folks here crave incessantly? Or what? Throw us a bone!!! Someone may help you!!

Sorry, I guess I could have been more specific. I traded my Midori bootfeet with the shin armor, but later realized I could have used them. I found a spare
pair of combat bootfeet in one of my parts boxes I bought from Triad years ago, which is basically what Midori has, but all I need is some sort of sleeve for
them, preferably like German marching boots or anything that would look good on Midori. I'm making a bash with her parts, so it doesn't have to look
identical to what she came with. The only thing I have or that I can find are way too high (sexy looking, but not practical with the Jin Roh armor, though some
may disagree). Does this lead to any more possibilities? Thanks

If so contact Sith Lord McGyver (Chad Vania) here on the board. That's who made mine!

Yeah I guess I misunderstood you. I thought you were looking for modern combat boots. ZC's Riza comes with a pair of bootfeet just like that.
Or if you can find a pair of In the past toys jack boots, those fit normal Cy girl PB feet very well. Paul |

Yeap those look like the boots I have. The Zippers make them very easy to put on.
