Each boot consists of 7 parts- 3 parts make up the main shoe with 4 parts that make up the curved upper segments. Having them cast in parts allows the cover to flex without distorting. There will be some paint scuffing with wear since these are props that will see more abuse than usual!
Each cover can flex open thanks to the elastic inside that holds all the cast part together. The left boot has a strap that has come unglued and the right has straps that are peeling off- it can be difficult to get material to adhere to the flexible castings long term- I obviously did not scuff up the surface enough for a good adhesion with Black Panther. I am kind of over this project and I'd rather they get repaired and worn by someone else! There are also sticky parts where stickers peeled off on the outside.

This is my personal pair of boot covers I wore to Neotropolis last year! There is a strap that has come loose and will need to be glued or fastened back in.
These were sculpted to fit over a pair of fugu boots aka japanese construction worker boots. I wear a womens 10.5/11 men's 9 or 9.5 so these will fit over a similar size and boot style.

This is the first time I have made a boot cover this elaborate and I had to figure out a lot of new stuff! They are not perfect and there might be a better way to do this. A LOT of time and money went into getting casts/molds to work- (14 mold pieces total for a pair of boots) so at this point i just want to recoup the costs for this experiment!
In one pic you can see the 2" wide elastic stretched across the bottom that keep the boots on. You put them over your boot by slipping your booted foot into the covers and stretching the elastic in place.
