Protip: You can mix in (clean) cat litter gravel with the epoxy to make a sort of concrete that's as strong or stronger, using a franction of the epoxy resin and is also a bit lighter in weight for the same volume.

A heat gun to heat the epoxy will get rid of some of the bubbles, as will vibration.

I made some hooves like this out of wooden 6x6 cut at an angle. I sculpted them into hooves and used cheap work boots for the uppers. Wore them for many years, but my knees aren't strong enough to take the stress anymore.

I did the same thing with mine, but I pulled the sole cover off, then pulled the metal tabs out with a hammer. Got the sole off the heel, removed the plastic shoe shape and was left with the sole by itself. I used rubber split sole ballet slippers and applied those directly to the sole frame I butchered. I made the hoof from layers of firm packing foam (high quality and all I had on hand) and then put the non slip rubber grip I separated from the sole earlier to the bottom of the hoof to gain more traction.

It’s flexible, comfortable and made without resin or forms for under $40. Couldn’t be happier. (I also did an extended hoof like you showed at the end by adding 2 dowels that ran parallel with the arch into the hoof and used my foam and hot knife to add a natural looking ridge on the arch and heel.)

Great tutorial if I ever want a sturdier material for outdoor use though!

Godbless this video 😭😭 I'm planning on making hoof shoes soon for a ren faire and this helps out so much!!!

[Kirboobles]

Recently used your method at making these kinds of hooves. Everything worked! We used a saw to take off the heels and have broken said saw oops

[DosYeobos]

Hey this was really cool! As a fellow nerdy girl, I’ll be looking forward to future videos!

[bingbong]

I wanna make these so bad! I'm just scared of both resin and the shoe breaking

[Temzuification]

Thanks again for the video, it was super helpful! I'm imaging the shapes for soled on every day shoes 4 the waterproof.

Edit: ooops repost 😢sorry put this under a reply about the faire lol. My mistake!🎉😂😊😅🎉

[thatjawa]

OMG thanks so much!! I will definitely be making my own hooves with this!! :D

[Mornings-Dawn]

Wish I was confident enough to wear something like that in public😭😭

[savescuttlecrab]

Could something similar be done, but instead of having the hooves on the bottom they could be over the top of the shoe to simulate the look of hooves and still having a flat shoe to walk on?

[linneathesystemsdruid]

I have a desire to make galaxy hooves
I think it would be fun
Do like glitter and stuff inside the hooves themselves
Will I do it? Probably not, but man I want to

[bobkarafin]

How did you attach the upper portion of the shoes back to the soles? (And somehow you tore the leather ALL up)…

0:25 It’s my will to live? :D
0:31 FUCK!!

[meganbroomhall]

I need help someone
I want to do these really bad but
1: I am scared of resin
2: I can not afford resin and it’s supplies
3: I can’t find any shoes that are cheap and fit me because I wear a size 13 in women’s

Funnily enough, I'm also here for my Fearne!

Hi I was wondering what the red stuff is, I’m also trying to make a hoof for my Halloween costume this year.

[Ollithefishy]

Im just hiring a welder to come out and cut the heel off lol

[CorvusTheSkull]

Quick question- how do you walk in those so well? I have a pair but I’ve never walked in heels and I’m having a hard time going more than 3 minutes with no walking stick or support

[daciasdiy]

I need to know where i cab get the mold to make the hoofs ! I saw someone use epoxy . But this is a good one too ! Maybe I’ll use this but I’m not a good molder
