I'd like to dedicate this vid to the members of the 'hooves' yahoo newsgroup. You guys have been very inspiring and gave me the knowledge to design and make my own. thanks!

Finally! The first tutorial I find where i can ACTUALLY wear the shoes! I can barely walk on heels so i could not imagine myself standing all day and walking around a convention just on my toes. Thank you so much for this video idea that I'm surely gonna use. x3
TIP: If they don't do this already. I'd suggest gluing some aluminum on the bottom of the hooves to add the clopping sounds that hooves usually make. You don't have to do it. Just a suggestion.

no thanks..
I confess to a more than healthy dose of skepticism when I saw the approach, but the end result is absolutely fantastic! Excellent job and thanks for the video!
Oh my goodness, I love you! I've been looking for something like this FOREVER!!!
I enjoy that you showed us your mistake and how you fixed it. ^_^
Much, MUCH better than the ones I've seen in the only show I ever participated in, where such were needed.
That was just awesome. I don't even need any digigrade legs or hooves but watching this makes me want to make some LOL
Doesn't it feel great to be a celebrity for a day? It's an interesting experience having the paparazi follow you around. ;)
Oh you don't know how helpful this video was, and it's an excellent tutorial!:D
I've tried other ppls ideas in the past and they didn't work, so i gradually came up with my own way. It still could use improvements. thank you :)
WOW! You are ssssssssso creativ! Such a busy bee! Super!
Thanks for much for this awesome tutorial! I'm doing a centuar-styled cosplay very soon and this is the first tutorial i've seen where I thought - hey, I can do this!
Thank you ^_^ Once I get all my materials I'll be sure to make a video of myself making these lovely hooves. Thank you again for such a great video!
Omg you are a life saver!!! There are so many ways to customize this whole idea :D
Omgosh... I'm inspired now... TY so much for posting this and your other tutorial vids. I've wanted to make my own costume for a while but was't sure how to start. So thank you again!
This video tutorial is just so satisfying to watch!!! I love it! Great job, hopefully I can try making my own someday!
Nicely done! Love how you painted them realistic, and the shape is perfect!
I love how the colours came out :D So cool!
this is great, just what i needed! i'm finishing up a pair for halloween, can't wait until they're done! thanks much!
lolz "i am a cookie, do u want to eat me".... Outstanding How-to... ty.
wow ! just wow ! i love when people make things that actually take effort and skill, and thank you so much for the tutorial ! x
ive always thought it would be fun to have hooves. ive looked at lots of other set ups but they always looked so chunky and complicated. but these ones look so easy and cheap i think i may be able to pull it off! im sure that theyll end up being a part of my next halloween cosume, thank you so so much!
Wow! Your blending is awesome!
I just want to say think you for posting this. I was really beginning to panic about my project (knee enhancers form Portal) looking too lumpy and nasty, but now I see it's pretty normal when it's un-sanded. So, thank you again! Also, those are some seriously beautiful hooves!
Me encantaron!! Muchas gracias!! Tan detallado tu video que me animaré a hacerlas... 🤗
God I was so happy to find this! I'm making a costume for two cons this year that require hooves, and I was so scared to do the stilt/heel method but then I found this! I'm definitely gonna try this out
AMAZING! thank you so much for this vid. This is the simplest and most informative thing I could find on making hooves :)
Best hoof tutorial ive seen so far, thank you so much for this!!
This is awesome. My hats off to you!
Wow. Those turned out really awesome.
Incredibly creative - WOW!
OMGoodness that is soo BOSS! awesome job.
Fantastic hooves!! Thanks for making this! x
i took a peep at your vids, nice to see another pans labyrinth fan out there, your vids were lovely. :) glad i could help!
Ooooooohhhh, maybe once I finish my Satyr someday our satyr persona's can meet! I might build hoofs for my legs/feet using this method. turns out REALLY good!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR THIS! This AMAZING video looks so much easier (and comfortable) than the route I was originally going with. I can't do anything where I have to stand on something that has the height of a stilleto because, frankly, my ankles are too weak for it. And the route I was going with, well... *looks over at the hunks of wood and metal pipes* Thank you so much for this!
I just finished mine but I didn't use Bondo, my husband and son said this is not the way to go or it will crack and break apart. We did the wire mesh and papermache' base, then overlayed fiberglass matt cloth and then fiberglass resin, another layer of mesh and two to three more layers of resin. we used a grinder for the super rough spots, and finished smoothing with a power sander. Came out VERY durable and very LIGHTWEIGHT.
Oh this is s game changer. So happy I saw this before making my hooves
WHOAH this is amazing!!!
Absolutely adorable and admirable!
Hey, that's a cool technique! ^^ Thanks for sharing.
Thats pretty cool dude, good job
I really think she should remake this video
im so exited to get started on my hooves!
This is pretty ingeneous. Well done.
LOL I was looking for a how to video on bondo, since I'm about to apply it to the hilt of my sword I'm making. I started watching and then I realized, "Hey, it's Pattasy!" XD I'll be sure to be careful on the drying time! Thanks! ^_^ Great music BTW
These turned out fantastic! I do want to add that the "lines" (growth rings) on a goat's hoof are actually horizontal, rather than vertical. That small detail aside, I love how natural the movement is in these boots, so cool! :)
I really like this tutorial. I used it for my renaissance festival costume this year, and they looked great - the costume was a huge hit. Unfortunately, they were cracked and chipped within a few hours. I recently re-did them using the same screen base, only I covered it with Rigid Wrap plaster gauze, including most of the bottom. I filler primer'd the heck outta the whole thing, painted, and thoroughly glazed them (especially the bottom). So far, they seem to be holding out very well.
Awesome! im almost done with mine! but making mine as demon hooves for a succubus. Going to put the car bondo on in a min! awesome vid and was VERY helpful! thanks! Also the supplies are fairly cheap where i got it. Thanks!
Very impressive! I esspecially like how you painted them - it's hard to pull that off, I feel.
oh lol! yeah, ummm, i had some awesome music along with some narration but youtube deleted the audio. They requested that i choose from their super cheesy royalty free library. haha! So, i made my choice :D
So friggin cute!!!
I would wear that all day saying, " yo hey, what up? oh my hooves? yeah...they're real"
Nice, simple solution. :D Thank you for the tutorial.
for all those asking (hoofbeatstabel108 and mrfnk etc) fur is easy to get from websites like distinctivefabrics, crscrafts, and even some fabric stores (hobby lobby SOMETIMES has decent fur... sometimes) but buying online is great, just make sure to get swatches first.
this is great! just what i was looking for :D
Amazing!!
they are great! I'm definitely giving this a try :)
this is awesome!
Those are really damn cool I wanna try and make my own someday
This is really, really cool. :D
its a craft chisle. it has a blade on it that is shaped like a "U", to make it easier to shape grooves. I got it a walmart in the craft section, it came in a pack with several different kinds, and it was cheap. :)
hmmm i never thought of that, might be a bit high pitch for a clop, but at least they'll fit the shoe. A tap dancing faun, rofl! oh man, i have to try that. good idea! :D
These are fantastic.
@kiboumegami thats freakin awesome, i gotta remember that, thanks for sharing! I'm dabbling in casting right now so i can make highly detailed shells. expensive materials, but i'm starting to get more serious. Man how time flies, its been 2 years since i posted this vid. hmmm rigid wrap. . . sounds like i can use that for some of my molds :)
Really really awesome, im just starting my costume for next years Renaissance Faire . it was my first time at the Renaissance Faire yesterday
wow thats awesome!
:) i would love to see other fauns roaming around! XD
I made mine out of duct tape and paper mache, then painted and sprayed a clear coat. Because your foot will flex, it's better to make them as shoe covers.

This sounds more up my alley than using car bondo and a sander (I'm so clumsy lol). Did you still use the mesh wire for yours or did you just go right ahead with the duct tape and then paper mache?
I'd love to see it when you finish. :)
Awesome!
Perfect!!!!!
Thank you very much!! You're so kind :} I'll get some shoes soon and then I'll start making my hooves!! Thank you very much!!
Very cool... Do you have a video for the legs?
amazing! I've seen other do it with high heels by removeing the heel, but I'm not sure I could walk in them for more than 5 minutes xD Thanks!
awesome!!! you'll have to show me these sometime!! :D
awesome job.. :)
yes i was suprised how hard a shoe was to saw, so i didn't show the process cause i didn't want everyone to see me struggling so hard to cut it. lol! XD
It’s so weird how this video was made before ⟟ was even born…… *and it still has better quality than my new ipad-*
@lion0121 when i started my new ones i traced a horseshoe onto some wood, cut it, and screwed it to the bottom-this way the bottom will already be fitted to attach a shoe later. if the bondo touches the ground, it'll chip and crack anyway. i'm not using bondo anymore, but when you put the screen around the wood, you'll end up with a gap between the shoe and the screen. I'd suggest you fill it with 'greatstuff' expanding foam so it won't be to flimsy for the bondo.
look pretty amazing though!!
omg this saved my life LOL i didn't know down to do the hooves but now i'm trying this for my Faun costume
cut out a chunk but leave enough to stand on, its personal preference really. the back of the heel is hidden with fur. the pencils were stuck in there while the paper mache was still wet, so when it dries it wouldn't curl inward, then they were removed. hope that helps ;)
Thank you for a great video, Just wish you were talking in some parts. You gave enough information though adapted it for horse hooves,
thanks :) they are still around, i've just been slowly picking through them for fur supplies.
omg :O You are good ^^
I'll be taking a similar approach to this this year. I'll be using the door screen, but I'll be just drenching it in Leak Seal. It's enough to "solidify" the hooves and it'll keep flexibility so it won't break. It ought to be good enough, considering my first attempt of using shitty Crayola molding broke before I even got in the damn gate.
these were comfortable and they were very stable because i didn't cut much from the back. i made them out of the most comfy sandals i own, and they aren't too heavy. :)
do you have a tutorial for the legs?
Thats exactly what it is :). It's also called "body filler". That should help. Don't worry, your english is great! :)
yes that was me. XD I wish there were more fauns there, all i ever see are fairies.
foam (like they use for chair cushions) cut in a triangle shape and glued onto a tight pair of pants, then fur to cover it all up. :)
i have video footage on the legs, but i'm not happy with them yet, so i'm starting all over, i'll be sure to post when i get it right.
these loomk cool as i got the idea to look it up when i was watching epic movie
@succubusbunny I think its for shape. Hooves are pretty short and small. If you made a hoof the length of your foot it would look odd, so cutting some of the shoes heel off give the illusion of shorter feet. It is basically making a stilt out of the shoes, rather than a complicated wooden construction project.
I'm sure i could figure it out, but right off the top of my head, no. well, i guess you could carve it out of foam (like the stuff used for chair cushions) and then cover with fur. If i ever decide to make my cat paws, i'll be sure to post for inspiration. :)
you are very welcome, you might want to cut up an oversize flipflop or wood and glue it to the bottom to elevate it some. I noticed that the bondo along the bottom edge started to chip because it came in direct contact with the pavement. :) good luck! send a pic my way i would love to see :)
thank you uber much for putting this back up! I'm currently trying to figure out the leg part of the costume. If you have any advise that would be wonderful! I made my hooves from your video! They didn't come out as well but I like them anyways.
:D yep, some great stuff! thanks!
