* As seen in Vogue Girl Korea 9/2009 *
. . . and with the ties
{leather not as shiny in reality}
Other possible closure options if you don’t have a sewing machine {or even if you do}
* Velcro {stick on or hand stitch on}
* Elastic -this will work also if you don’t have enough leather. {Use a solid piece in the back for a more fitted look or thin horizontal strips all the way down the back}
* Eyelets/Lace-up
* Hooks/Lace-up
* Buckles
* Chains
Wearing options
* Fold over the top and show the suede side.
* More ties or one long leather strip -criss-crossed all the way {like the Chloe’s or Rodarte’s} I actually would have preferred this but I only had enough leather left to make two for each side.
* With flats
* Over jeans/leggings
Have Fun!

Okay, Okay….now I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and seem some of the awesome DIY’s that have inspired me to make my own things (the Liboutin Ruffles for shoes was a particular fave)
But this…this is just so riDONKulously kewl…I am literally in Vegas, at the studio where I work and my friend and I are telling each other how much we hate you for being so damn clever…
Gigi
Thanks Maegan, love your style. These boots were an inspiration for my 7 yo’s granddaughter’s halloween costume. I made her cowgirl outfit, pony fake fur vest and skirt, trimmed with pink and black handcut ultrasuede trim. She wanted Mom to buy her a pair of boots; but would not get a whole lot of wear from them in Florida. So, after seeing your post, I made her a matching pair of ultrasuede “boots” with a pair of black shoes underneath, she was thrilled. thanks for the inspiration.
Style Odyssey
what on earth?!! this has to be the coolest DIY idea EVER.
i’m a bit late (a bit? ok, very!) late seeing this, but WOW.

Impressive. Is there anyway I might alter this in order to make boot cuffs instead of covers.
achmea
Your blog and DIY lessons give me so much inspiration! Thank you!!! You’re amazing

I love this. Do you think a shorter length would work, say about 2-4″ above the ankle??

I personally wouldn‘t do it just because I don‘t like the over the knee boots but thats really cool. Great idea.
I like the look, but the entire time I was viewing this I thought “too lazy. too lazy. too lazy.“
dun think my sewing skill is up for the project but o my i love looking at diy products
but i can‘t read the instructions clearly but it‘s probably due to my vision >.
wildlyfree
This is a friggin lifesaver! I am cursed with He-man calves (from years of playing rugby, weight-lifting, and sprinting) and with a 17.5in circumference, finding boots like this is a dream.
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!!

Hey there! This is my first comment here so I just say I really enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for sharing this information.

AWESOME!! Now, these would look great with your drawstring lace skirt!!!
I have an old RED leather, long jacket that just might be great for this DIY and eggplant color boots to put them over… OH,YEAH BABY!!!
