Made for an upcoming video production, these boots are 90% prop, 10% footwear.
Ingredients include Size 10 Pony Ankle Boots ($80, Ebay.com), Size 2 Davis Barrier Boots ($50, Amazon.com), Maxium
Impact Liquid Latex ($15 Amazon.com), High Temp Glue Gun ($15 Walmart), Glue Sticks ($10 Walmart), Black Fuzzy Leg
Warmers, ($20 Electrique Boutique) screws, glue, velcro strips, (Walmart.)
Total cost: Approx $210
You could spend around $1500 to have some weird German fucko build these kind of boots, made professionally from
scratch, or you could slap 'em together yourself on the cheap from parts made readily available over at Amazon and Ebay.
This particular pair are really only meant to appear on film or in photos and are in no way meant to be used as
practical footwear for events, cons or just wearing around in general. Basically these things won't leave the
photo/green screen studio in my living room.
I made them in a slap dash fashion, with only cursory measurements and a lot of eyeballing and cursing after easily
avoidable mistakes.
If you're looking to acquire a more practical pair of pony boots/digitigrade legs I highly recommend saving up and
purchasing a pair from some German fucko, (Trust me, it's always some German fucko.)
I'd make a step by step guide, but the pictures show you exactly what I did without any unintentional obfuscation.
