Currently working through some details on my 3D-printed build and hoping to get some advise. For my boots, I've got the base shoes and scaled the cover parts accordingly, but I'm not sure what to use to cover the middle of the shoe or how to attach the parts to the shoe. I've seen some folks use a sort of rubber hose looking thing, something maybe like this, but I'm unclear exactly how I should do that. I know some people just glue directly to the shoe, but there aren't a lot of contact points so that feels like a failure point. I've also seen straps under the shoe itself, but that also feels like it could wear away with enough use. The 3D parts do not have a bottom for reference.
Aside from that I will probably attach the lace cover part to the heel with elastic straps so it's tight but can be moved a bit if needed. Access to the actual laces isn't necessary as these are essentially slip-ons.
Any tips for boot construction? I didn't see a whole lot in the tutorials or soft parts sections, and for whatever reason I feel like this gets overlooked in a lot of people's posts.
For reference, I'm building MoeSizzlac's Mark VI suit files.
Thanks!
