Transformers Soundwave Costume

Step 4 Feet

These were pretty easy. Looked at the shape and cut them out. Used the cardboard tubes on the sides to keep the legs from dragging on the ground. Also they make a perfect pivot point for the ankles, and since it’s not closed on the other end, I can tilt my ankles with no problems. To reinforce them, the outside of the foot has the hole cut into it. There is another piece of cardboard on the inside that keeps it from moving further in and reinforces the foot. With reinforcement from the glue gun, they are not going anywhere. I also took foam and closed off the spare space around a shoe that I can easily slip on and off with little difficulty.

This is great! How did the bottom of your feet hold up? I am having a hard time making soles that will last more than 1 event. I am currently maping out a Volton costume and want the feet to be durable.

I had adhesive cork on the bottoms of the feet and that seemed to work out well. Also, in the construction, there was two layers of cardboard on the bottoms as reinforcement.
