Description
WARNING: FULLSIZE IS HUGE!!!Please download a PATTERN here: [link]
This tutorial can be used for making human-size boots too, with some changes to the process:
1. No wire in the soles, of course.
2. Leather for all parts should be much thicker than for dolls.
3. Use stiff and strong leather for the outer soles. Make low heels (I recommend not more than 3 cm high) because higher heels require special soles.
Enjoy!
If something is unclear please ask me in comments.

Hah! I think most of them are lazy and pouting because you won't take commissions! LOL!
I wanted to thank you for all the things you share so freely on the WWWeb. While your skill level is intimidating to many, it proves that it CAN be done, and done well.
Looking forward to future posts of your OC - he's just so yummy!

Who knows)) Maybe they want "just to order a damn pair of boots", but yeah, a very few people in the worldwide BJD community make a custom footwear... me excluded 
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you like my Ascker

I am so happy to find your page here! I LOVE your work! You are an amazing doll artist! I was also very happy to find a decent boot tutorial. These look awesome! I collect Tonner dolls and would love to make these boots for them, but I do not know how to go about resizing the pattern for the smaller foot. The feet are 2 inches long and 3/4 of an inch wide. Do you have any advice on how I could resize your boot pattern from this tutorial to fit my dolls? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you found my stuff useful!
Well, if the BJD foot length is 8 cm here you should scale the whole image from 8 cm to 2 inches (5 cm). I can't count in inches because Imperial system is totally alien and illogical to me, but the whole idea is to divide image dimensions by 8 and multiple by 5, then to print the image out.
The pattern may still need corrections as the feet could have different proportions.

Thank you very much! I know all too well that most of the tutorials on boots are a historical reconstruction replicas. So I decided to create something different. Good luck in your work!

The size is shown directly on the pattern. You need to scale it down a bit for B&G, I think

Would you kindly take commissions for these boots? I am too scared to do them myself T _ T

How would we translate the pattern for YoSD sized dolls? o:

I suppose just scale it down? In any case it would require some adjustments.
