Sewed down to the shoes. This was one of the most tedious handsewing jobs I've ever, ever, ever done or want to. My hand cramps just looking at it. Sewing back from inside of a shoe-- I wish I had daintier hands to fit in there!
Took a few passes on one; I kept having misalignment issues. But it looks pretty good now, holds nicely. Pretty good permanent solution.
Planning to add a backpiece to the boots and velcro that in, removing the straps, so he can easily slide his foot in and out of the shoe and increase its accuracy.
