Cowboy boots... where to get?

I'm needing a pair of black cowboy boots (the kind with the pointed toe, etc) that will fit an Obitsu Slim. I know they have them for the girls, but the feet on the guys are just huge! lol I found some, by Newline Miniatures that might work, but the cheapest I have found them is $15, and since I don't know if they'll fit... yeah.

So, anyone know where to get cowboy boots that will fit these guys?

I second the question! I have a guy who needs some black ones, he's wearing some Dragon combat boots but they don't quite cut it.

Get out some felt and play around with the sock with a sole idea until you get a pattern you like. I've seen felt that looks a bit like tooled leather. Any stiff fabric could work. Places like Michaels sell scraps of suede if you want to go that way. I'd stick with something flexible on the sides for those big long feet, you might be able to use cardboard to get stiff soles.

DK, I never thought about trying to make them myself.. and I think I know the leather-look felt you are talking about. It would be a new experience for me, but that just might work. ^__^

Jade, yeah I <3 MonkeyDepot, I get all kinds of stuff there. Never been to that other site, must go now! lol

Newline boots fit my Goodreau 12 inch Resin boy perfectly. His feet are 4 cm.
