Wal-Mart Batman Boots - Opinions
Hi, I am new to the board and working on a Hush/Animated series costume for Halloween.
I was wondering if anyone else had purchased the $15.00 boots Wal-Mart sells. I did and they work except for the tops being too big. I was wondering if there was a way to fill these out.

They are not leather but latex or plastic rubber.

Re: Wal-Mart Batman boots
Guys I do believe these are women's boots. If they're the ones I think they are then yeah they're a pretty good batman boot. I bought a set for my girlfriend's Batgirl suit.

Re: Wal-Mart Batman boots
You aren't talking about gum boots are you? I've got those, and you can take out the slack in the rear of the boot. Cut a slice down the back. Overlap the slit to the size of your leg. Draw a line where they line up with a piece of chalk. Get sticky velcro and place it on the inside part of that line and you are all set.

Re: Wal-Mart Batman boots
I've got gumboots myself, using the same technique. Mine however are using boots spats (97 style) over the top of them too. Now I can just pull them on and off.
Hope the idea helped.

Re: Wal-Mart Batman boots
I am going to use the galoshes from Wally-World for my son's Robin costume. Thanks for the tip on taking up the slack. I was just thinking of how to do that tonight!!
Great timing!

Re: Wal-Mart Batman boots
For bigfooted bats, Wal-mart has a camo hunting boot that has just come out.
If you Plasti-dip it black, I believe it would make a great bat boot.
It's a little more pricey, I believe they were in the 65.00 to 70.00 range, but when I first saw them, I thought "Great superhero boot".
I'm sure they are waterproof, and much more rugged than the ladies boot.
Of course Mrs. Brin was with me, so I didn't stop and examine them very closely.
:grumble
But I'll go back tonight.
hee hee hee...
