Description
Series: Attack on Titan----
I recently made my Attack on Titan boots for my Hanji cosplay for Aki Con,
and I had a few people ask me how I made them,
so here is a little tutorial!
This is my first time making one,
and it took 3 hours to put together X'D
My gawd!
So much more respect for people that make these OTL
---
I am FAR FROM AN EXPERT
and this is just one of many ways you can make these boots.
But hopefully it will be of some help to people ^^
---
S/N: If there is something I've made that you would like me to do a tutorial on let me know.
I can't do a full costume tutorial because it would be to hard and long to explain,
but if there is a part of a costume or sewing/building technique I will try my best!
---------------------------------
EDIT
Because I've been getting some repeating questions,
I'll post a mini FAQ..
How much fabric did you use?
I bought 1m and had almost half of it left over,
but this depends on the width of your fabric, so picture 4 boots laying down ^^'
What does the bottom look like?/Does the heel stick out?
Yes, the heel sticks out and the bottom of the cover. I use heel boots for this reason since it keeps the boot cover from twisting and shifting while you walk.
Also if your a clutz like myself, then the extra traction is awesome!
Can I use flats/bare feet/shorter boots
I used tall boots because...
- they are easy to trace (tracing your leg is a pain in the ass)
- They protect your feet
- They give the boot covers a strong stiff surface to rest ageist
ย - and you will not see any shoe lines or pant bunchies
But in the end you can do whatever you want, this is a guide line using methods I have tested and that have worked for me.

I think I will try this technique with my v4 Flower cosplay. I've only ever made shoe covers, not boot covers... but this seems fairly easy and definitely helpful! Thanks much~

What is the grey fabric material you are using? Is that an interfacing fabric? Also, is it heavy weight or medium weight? I'm planning to make a Marvel Nova Prime suit for a 1 year old, so I'm most likely going to use the same fabric that I am using for the body portion, which is either ponte knit or cotton interlock knit. So that the boots will match the whole suit and not look wierd, lol.
Thank you!

Oh this doesn't look too hard at all! Though I debate if the material cost is worth just buying a pair haha

Thanks so much for posting this,ย I was having a hard time trying to find navy blue lace up boots for my AKB0048 cosplay and now that I found this I'm going to try making boot covers instead using some navy vinyl I got from a friend ^_^

question, is the heel of the cover open? i can't quite see and it isn't written in the tutorial. probably not going to use this, but it was cool and in the results for 'boot guards". awesome work by the way.

Okay... so I finished the cosplay a while ago and I ended up doing the boots completely differently and they turned out pretty sweet! I used old tennis shoes covered in the same colored fabric at the "boot covers" I made (the covers are actually attached to the pants I wear for the cosplay). I'll have to post pictures when school isn't totally killing me. lol But thought I should mention it seeing as I've left you hanging since August.....

Oh no worries I totally get it! I've been busy with school too! That is what's great about AoT you can be yourself or one of the characters and people will be excited regardless. ps- next time if asked who your cosplaying as just say: "Oh I'm scout number 346 from episode 19." (just cuz I'd love to see someones reaction to that lol)

Lovely tutorial! I was wondering though, would it work just the same with wedge heel boots or would I need to adjust everything to my needs?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Valdrein In reply to SleepWalkingInTheSKY [2014-07-13 17:57:26 +0000 UTC]
For wedge heels you may need to cover the entire bottom of the boot.
I haven't made a cover for wedge heels before so I'm not sure and I don't want to give you bad information ^^'

Uhm, what if I have no boots for base? I mean, my feet are small, my calves are thick, there are no boots that would ever fit my legs

Is it easy to take these off the boots that you use for cosplay? I have a good pair of boots i want to use, but i dont want to keep the boot covers on them all the time.

Valdrein In reply to hungergametribute [2014-04-20 20:32:54 +0000 UTC]
Yes for sure,
I just used my under boots today! haha,
Its why I like to use boot covers so you can switch them out ^^

KappaOodobi [2014-04-16 20:52:52 +0000 UTC]
Is it possible to use vinyl in place of the pleather? Would it just not be stretchable and require a zipper, or are there other problems with using vinyl? (I ask because the stores I have near me do not have pleather in the right color, but the vinyl is).
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Valdrein In reply to KappaOodobi [2014-04-20 20:31:50 +0000 UTC]
The problem with vinyl is that it's very stiff in most cases.
If the fabric is to stiff or without stretch it will not form around the toe of your boot or your calf.
This can make them look boxy or square.
So you can use it,
but it may not give you the shape you want ^^

Fireshrike [2014-04-02 06:42:03 +0000 UTC]
That's really cool! I'm actually cosplaying Hanji, too ( though at a different convention) and I'm starting to get stressed out over certain pieces. Plus, since I bought most of the clothing, I'd rather make the rest myself. So this tutorial is much appreciated! It's giving me some confidence, as well as the instruction my beginner self needs.

Valdrein In reply to jessienim [2014-03-09 23:30:44 +0000 UTC]
I buy all my stuff locally,
I don't have certain names I look for, I usually just walk about the fabric store and touch them all, pull them, bend them, etc. Until I find something that will work ^^'

These are boot covers,
so you're wearing boots under them.
