This looks really helpful for figuring out how to make boots in general! Thank you for doing this!

Woah, I've been looking for a tutorial like this for hours... It's not for a Link cosplay, but the boots I have to make are almost the same... And they're going on well! I'll link you the photo when they're finished!

Did you useΒ Β Β interlining?
Does it work to make the boots more rigid? :/ ...

I tried looking "interlining"Β up, and I'm afraid I don't understand the term

Shit ;___; i mean, that fabrik that you put on the nonshowed side of the piece... Mmh... That fabrik that keeps the other piece of fabrik more rigid. Huum! T_T sorry, but i dont know how to describe it better.. Did you understand?

Oh yeah, I think I know what you mean!
Well the suede just had that back. The fabric itself was very stiff. On the very top of the boot, it is some thin (brown) cardboard that I used to stiff'n it. You can use e.g. some silk interlining to have your feet slip easier into the boot, or you can use...uhm.. I don't know what it's called in English, but we have this thing called 'vlieseline' which is some kind of fiber fabric that you glue onto the inside (non-showing) of your fabric using an ironer. This makes it more stiff. You can try to google search images on 'vlieseline' if you want to see pictures
I hope this helped! :3

Do you know how much fabric these would require? I wanna make sure I get enough

Foe knee-high boots I usually buy about 200 cm just to be sure, but I think 150 cm will do as well
Again, it depends on how long and big they are supposed to be

On the video game picture there's a lkittle "bump" above the ankle, i was wondering, do you have any idea how i could make this ?
thanks^^

I think you can, before you put in the zipper or attach the cover to the boot, make a fold in the fabric and then stitch/sew it to keep it in place :3
Of course the fabrics you use have to be pretty soft unless it CAN end up maing some weird folds when you put the cover on the boot (because the boot it rounded and the fabrics are more square-like)..
I hope this makes any sense

Yeah it's actually what i was thinking of xD! thanks^^

I suppose :3
As long as the leather is not too stiff, you I guess you can make a boot cover from it ^^

hehe alright thanks ^^

What kind of fabric are you using? Is that a form of pleather? (fake leather)
Anyway, I plan to use bits and pieces of this tutorial for my Skyward Sword boots. They're similar in basic detail.

Yes, it's pleather 
Good luck with em! <3

Good to know. Looks a little thicker than the stuff I have, but I'm using rubber boots as a base, so hopefully they should hold the fabric well with a little glue.

Sounds great!

We'll see what happens. I'd be glad to share when I'm done.

There actually never were any patterns (^^); I'm pretty much improvising XD

wow. i can't believe you made yours from scratch! I just went to Ross, got a nice pair of flat bottomed brown boots then added a flap of fabric around the top.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wanted to do that, too, but I couldn't find any boots
π: 0 β©: 1
well, you did an amazing job anyway. I just wish I'd found your tutorial before I muddled through a pair of boot covers for my next cosplay. Trial and error can be a bugger!

Oooh, this could be very useful. I don't plan on cosplaying Link, but I do need a pair of boots similar to this for what I plan to do. Thanks for the tutorial!

It's so hard for me to get boots that both fit Link and I can actually wear. Thanks for the epic tutorial.
