Dear Charles Anastase,  

For months, I have been writing you, inquiring about these dungeon boots:

and I promise I would have paid good money for your awesome design,  but since I did not hear from you, I could not wait any longer....I made them myself.  I'm sorry.  I don't usually buy knock-offs, and you can rest assured I will not profit monetarily like other companies (*ahem* JS) from your design...


Sincerely,
Christine


Ok, folks, now that I have gotten that off my chest...I will now reveal how truly insane I am.  The process of making these were so painful....Frankly, I dont even want to talk or think about it ever again!

I started with these classy bad boys from Pleaser.  I hated the shape of the heel....how it curved in and was sort of skinny.  I also didn't like how the platform wasn't seamless.  So what do you use to fix a common problem like that?  Good ole BONDO.

I filled the seams with bondo and sanded it until it was smooth.  For the heel, I kept packing on the putty to get the right thickness.

The sanding part was terrible.  I wanted to cry every minute of it.
After I achieved the shape I wanted, Eric helped me spray it with black texturized rubber spray.  I then jammed on some spikes I bought from Ebay and laced them with the dirtiest sneaker laces I could find.  There you have it...my "never do it again do it yourself" project.


I'm off to work in Hong Kong, China, Tokyo for the next 3 weeks...Sadly, China does not allow me to use blogger over there so I will not be updating... be good kids and all my love ♥
