Both boots are now cast and cured! Not too bad for a first go at these things. Oddly I find them incredibly easy to walk in, but quite hard to stand in. If I ever had a costume with these I would definitely want a walking stick or something.
Next step, padding them out a bit , then adding fur! But first, since the commissioner is local, I'll get her to stop by and try them on :)

Man, I love these...
Yeah, that's the same problem I have with my other pair. It's not the walking, it's the standing.
Been wondering if there's a way to have a heel or support mid way and hide it with fetlock or something. I've suited on my boots for six hours and wow, so sore the next day all down my calves. These are beautiful, though, I LOVE the shape of the hooves.
These are really looking wonderful though, looking forward to seeing them furred!

Thanks so much! Good to know it's not just mine xD
I think some sort of heel or just anything that moves the center of balance back a bit would be a huge help. If you had a nice fetlock to hide it I don't think that would even be difficult to pull off, and I think it would make a massive difference.

No no, it's not just yours!
It's one of the reasons I'm looking for a different set with a hidden heel or something so that I can stand on them for longer runs in them. I love them, but man, my legs just get hammered, and after a while I'm leaning on walls and a cane with the costume just to brace myself. :(
Awesome, super good to know! <3 I really am enjoying watching your work on these! Super cool to see how you're putting them together!

Wow, those are beautiful!
Just a little aside - I've made hoof boots a similar way but for more deer-like feet. A good way to give added support is to take metal, curve it into the shape between hoof contact with the ground all the way to the human heel. Then take that metal piece and cure it just inside your eurathane hoof and cut a slit in the shoe for the metal to rest inside the boot itself. This way, it feels exactly like a high heel shoe with full support for the heel without anything extending backwards from the hoof itself. Oh, and if you don't have the tools for bending strong metal or access people who do (any college with a collision/auto/bodywork class), some people have told me that there are L bend pvc tubes that can be cut up to do the job. It's worth a try, anyways.
