Hey, just before i start creating my own custom suit (Modeled after my Halo: Reach character) i wondered, with the boots of the suit, can you build them without an existing shoe, to wear as a shoe? (DUN DUN DAAAA!)
Boots, Built on existing shoe, or from scratch?

I put the shoes on I wanted and then took my measurement to put into Pepakura Designer. Then, I built my boot around my shoe.

Some people prefer building around a shoe in because it'll automatically give you added height, but you can also add height by just adding more foam on the bottom of a foam-only boot.
The only question you should ask yourself is: what do I want to be standing around in hours at a time at a convention?
I've seen one guy build his around a sandal and he used foam on the bottom to add a wedge and build up his height.
We're Spartans after all, we should be tall!

Well, to be honest im already quite tall for my age (5ft 7'' at fifteen, still due for the growth spurt) and i'm one of the tallest people in my grade (Behind 6ft 3'' giant, ), and i'll probably just rip a sole of the bottom of some shoes so it's not just paper. (Using pepakura, cause it's cheap, easy-ish, and strong. Plus i can just rips some soles of a pair of shoes and mold the boots around them. (Us aussies are built tough, The whole country tries to kill you, LOOK.
