Army Boot Revamp

from grubby to snazzy

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/army-boot-revamp • Posted by Anja R.

Being pretty broke at the best of times but loving cool shoes one has to become inventive :) . Ive seen boots ages ago on a website who had lace on them and i thought, hey i still got those old grubby army boots :). So as a easter project i cleaned them spraypainted them, found a $5 skirt at a charity shop that had the right kind of lace for me. Due to the drying time of the glue ( i wanted to make it as perfect as possible and have the lace as straight as possible) it took me a pretty long time. However i love them and the ribbon to lace them up looks brilliant too :) . The possibilites are endless. My only regret , i dont have more boots to play around with :)
