Description
No, they aren't uncomfortable. They were more comfortable than many of my heels, to be honest.Yes, they are heavy.
But the added weight helped keep me upright.
I was able to walk around all night, up and down stairs, as well as dance, with no trouble.
Materials Used
Old platform boots with the heels removed, and a wooden platform attached to the bottoms for added height.
Wire mesh (window screen, to be exact)
Paper mache
Bondo
Ardex Feather Finish Cement
Acrylic paint
Polyurethane
Craft foam sheets & faux leather (hot glued on) for the "armor"
*edit* I was just popping on before bed and saw a DD?? Holy cow, thank you so much :0 *dies of joy*

Well, if you were still alive, I'd bother to let you know that this is a neat cosplay idea, if anyone ever wants to dress up as a faun or any other hoofed character. But, since you have sadly expired from happiness at the DD, I withhold my comment, and offer my deepest condolences to your friends and family.

I am haunting the joint to reply to comments. :0
Yes, that's why I finally decided to post a tutorial, I figured it could be used for a wide range of costumes.
I will extend the condolences to my loved ones, thank you.

I wouldn't even need a full costume, I think the novelty of clomping around in giant hooves is excuse in and of itself to make them. Congrats on the DD, incredibly well-deserved.

I totally want to wear them under my jeans one day. But not until the ice is gone from the ground...

Wow... This is so freaking cool and so informative! I might have to stop by a secondhand store to find some old shoes I can use.

Doesn't everyone need a set of hooves? You know, for those random Thursdays where you think "I'm feeling like an artiodactyl today"

Maybe not...

nekokelly In reply to hurzdischnurz [2009-12-17 20:03:16 +0000 UTC]
Maybe, but there are a few people that would also want to dress as fauns, satyrs, various anime characters, Tauren, Draenei, goats, deers, unicorns, and any other hooved being you could think of. So that probably comes to a grand total of 20?
Thanks for the comment ^__^

Heh, that's what some folks would _only_ think of, when they see a bipedal hooved critter, unless it was obviously something innocuous, like a unicorn. :sigh:
