Tall Boots? - Homicidal#9 - 05-06-2007
well, i can tell ya what i used for my hagrid boots. I wear a size 14 shoe. SO i bought a pair of 20 dollar walmart black boots...The ones that extend up to about mid calf. I got them that high because it gave me much more stability. I then ran out to home depot and got 5 fencing planks. I traced out the sole of the boot on the planks and separated the heel from the rest of the sole and cut them out. I made two of those. I then steadily enlarged each one after that so that i would have a large sole/heel at the bottom for further stability. After gluing them all together and attaching them to the shoe via screws, I added a pair of Dr Scholls inserts inside of them and cut out a rubber sole out of a welcome mat so that i wouldnt slip around....and viola...hagrid boots <img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/Homicidal9/hagrid1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Tommy

This might help. I found that DEMONIA BOOTS are wicked looking and add a great deal of height. Depending on what style of boot you chose they are also very light weight allowing you to perform longer without ankle fatique. I have used 2 different styles for my MYERS & JASON costumes. They are also priced right. Here is a link. Hope this helps<a href=\"http://www.gothshoes.com/mens-boots.html?pageNum=0\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.gothshoes.com/mens-boots.html?pageNum=0</a>
