New to RPF - Catwoman costume project

[YenChih Lin]

Yes the heels are shorter and broader - maybe a shoemaker can change it?

Doubtful. To get a heel that high the sole has to be rigid. Wouldn't be able to get the sole to lie correctly with a lower heel.

 

[Risu]

You can definitely get a cobler to swap out that heel for a wider one. Probably can't change the height, but the width shouldn't be a problem.

I am not real concerned about the heel matching 100 percent. The heel in the boots I found is not much longer than the ones in the came. However the heels in the game do appear to be thicker.

I will look more...maybe I can find boots that look like the ones I found but with a different heel

 

[Risu]

I honestly don't think you'll ever find a more accurate pair of boots. The previous shot made the heel look a lot thicker, but those in-game shots look pretty close.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

WOW... yeah, that's a pretty good match. :thumbsup

 

[Firefoxm31]

did you get a good price for this boot, I checked it's a buckled riding boot for 49.99 at an online store I found...was still trying to find the same style with a smaller heel or at least thicker, not no luck there so far...

I actually found the same pair on ebay for $47.99 with free shipping

Oh, btw: I like your Harlequin costume as well... pretty cool. The Ledger Joker looks pretty awesome too! :thumbsup

 

[Sunshine Dust]

Now that I found the boots...my next mission is to find gloves that match.

Thats General Frosty I thought he made a great joker too.

Going back to the whip, do you have a specific design you need to follow?

Us Indy guys (and gals) get a bit OCD about whips and buy seriously expensive ones. You may not have to as there doesn't appear to be a truly ICONIC whip for Catwoman, a 6 or 8 foot black snakewhip will probably do pretty well. Have a trawl around ebay and the net. Probably avoid the 'really' cheap ones, but $50-$100 will probably get you what you need. Take a look at some of the mid range, er, 'alternative interests' whips they might have something.

If that fails try some of the less expensive Indy whip makers. eg Giovanni Celeste:

I found a whip on ebay. 69.99- 90.00 dollars.

This guy makes Indy whips and apparently this is the replica of catwomans whip

 

[Kt Templar]

Looks pretty good for the price, is it leather?

 

[Sunshine Dust]

It is leather.

 

[Jodo]

I knew I should of stayed up to date on this thread. :lol

I happened to find this...

Its missing one of the buckles. But since it has one, I figure you could mold it or replicate it to add too it...or just order 2 pairs. And it its practically the same buckle design even.

Meehhhh...it could be worse.

 

[Risu]

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but my boss and I do custom leather gear, so if you want to get that belt 100% SA let me know.

You could probably take them to a boot shop and have the heel replaced with a thicker one. Most shoe shops will replace souls.
