WIP - Brass Boots

I have a problem getting shoes that fit; my feet are big and wide, meaning that I either have to go up several sizes or manage to find a pair that are wide, which often is difficult. I found these big size 13 Spaldings at the thrift store and got them to drop the price from 10 bucks to 5 because of the many places where the plastic lace guides were broken free. I then ripped out those lace guides and replaced them with brass fixtures, then replaced the hooks at the top with more brass. I also removed the brand name labels from the tongues.

I hope to add brass plating to the toes and heels, brass wire decorations, and possibly some chain as well.
