They started off with me dismantling my old ski boots as I fit them into the trash. As I pulled the liners from the boots I suddenly realized that they would be the perfect base for my New set of foot-paws, they have my arch support and are fitted to my feet.
They have a rear entry design so adding a zipper for closure is a snap!
I wanted to make this pair have more pronounced features so decided on much thicker foam to start with doubling up Three inch foam for a good 6 inches to start with.
Sculpting moved along with few issues, I have gotten rather adept at the process.
The sculpting nearly finished I am starting to turn my attention to the soles and also Patterning for the fur. I am going to have inter-changeable soles (one set indoor one outdoor). I will need to decide on the method of applying the soles as needed but will likely use either Magnets or Velcro, or a combination of the two.
I will also be sewing the fur covering so it will be removable for cleaning and will likely have a base covering of plain white cotton material like a bed sheet covering the entire foot. This will all be determined on the fly as I work on them but is the way I am leaning.
So as they are now I need to start working on the “Sole-searching” to get them figured out.
