/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm having a heck of a time trying to find shoes/boots for Princess of the Crystal. I'm a half size, making shoe shopping difficult. I've already resigned myself to making boot covers because I have larger thighs/calves, but narrow ankles. I own a pair of boots with the perfect toe shape, heel and leg fit, but they are only knee high. My question is, would it be a stupid idea just to make 'spats' for a pair of boots I already have? I basically would make a strap that connects under the boot and just sew up a shaft that goes over top of it. Most boot cover tutorials suggest using a pair of heels, but I haven't found a relatively cheap pair that fits.
