In the previous post, I mentioned I did custom boots for Kureha’s dress as a part of the set, but they weren’t finished. This weekend I went to my parent’s and with my father’s help, we finished them!
I also took the chance to take a few pictures of my Nia-chan, she insisted on modeling for the boots :3

At first, when I was ask to commission the dress, I didn’t include the boots since I didn’t knew if I would be able to figure out how to make them. I have to say I feel very lucky my father loves to work with wood and scale models, so he agreed to help me and give it a try :)
He made a wooden mold of the base and separately molded the heels. I sewed the fabric, and then glued it all together… in summary that is :)

Due to the initial design of the boot, we couldn’t at a round shape to the tip of the shoe, but I think that it doesn’t look bad this way either.

They are stable, the doll can stand without a stand xD.
We will work on more types of shoes, I would love to have custom made sandals, those are much easier to make, but probably you will see it next year, since summer is already ending >_<
A small poll here :)

While we are at it… wanna a cup of coffee? ^^

Sip, Sip….

geh, I didn’t focus her face here (but I loved the picture!)
Thanks for looking :)
I hope I will update with new shoes soon!

Those boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do~
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over me if I am an M and Nia is S ~
Just kidding! =P
Seriously though, nicely crafted!

Nice shoes :) I’m curious to see what kind of shoes your going to do next. I would love to try to make shoes… I have made a bath slippers, but they’re not so good.

I will try to convince my father to make some summer sandals, nothing more complicated. Shoe making is very complicated, and we don’t have all materials required, so we did what we could :) I think that for a Kureha cosplay, those look good enough!

So awesome! You and your father rox! Would definitely love to see shoes/sandals maybe even wedge sandals? LOL sorry easy for me to throw out ideas, making it is more work ^^;;;
