KH2 Yuffie Boots

These are by far the part of the KH2/AC Yuffie costume I made for Waicon 2006 that I'm the most proud of. I know knee high boots exist, but I couldn't for the life of me track down a pair - let alone in a colour that would match my shorts - so I wound up modding a pair of ankle-high converse style sneakers to make these. I've never made shoes for cosplay before, so these were very much an experimental job, and I'm seriously thrilled that they came out so well. The main trick involved a layer of craft foam under the fabric to help make it sit neatly and give them that stiffer look. There was a lot of work in these, but I'd have to say they were worth every minute.

Up close you can see probably a few flaws, and they needed a little straightening by the time this picture was taken because I'd been wearing them all day, but the only shame about wearing them was that I don't think many people at the con spotted the fact they'd been hand made at all.


ETA: Added some pics of the finished Yuffie costume.
