Josh Ashman Report post Posted March 14, 2013 I built one of these a while back for my daughter. Just something fun to wear on her boots, kinda like spurs but easier to walk around in. They turned into a family hit, now all of the girls young and not quite so young in my family have at least one... Thanks for looking, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benlilly1 Report post Posted March 14, 2013 HOW INNOVATIVE! I think you have a hit on your hands. Those are cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks! I started off making them with a buckle on the outside, then rings on both sides with the heel strap riveted on both sides and now have switched to putting a snap on one side so you can take them off if you want. This also works better for giving them as gifts since you don't need the boots to rivet them on. I think I got the idea from 80's rock bands, I'm sure Bret Michaels has something similar on his boots Best regards, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whiteeugene Report post Posted March 15, 2013 Those look cool how do you size them and is the snap on the bottom or side. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks Doug! I measure with a cloth tape to where the center of the rings should be for the front and back piece then rivet/snap the heel strap in place. If I don't have the persons boots I'll just use one of my wife's or daughter's that's close to the same style. Seems like 7-1/2" center of ring to center of ring on the front and 8-1/2" center to center on the back works for the chunky roper type boots. I add 1-1/2" overall to allow for riveting to the rings. For the heel strap I rivet one side and fit it in place to determine where to place the snap. Best regards, Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
